The new i20 will be available in four variants - Magna, Sportz, Asta, and Asta (O). Customers will get a choice of three engines. These include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which will be paired to a manual transmission and an IVT, a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired to an iMT or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine paired to a manual transmission. These are the same engines and transmissions that are available in the Venue sub-4 meter crossover.

The new i20 comes in six single tone colour options - Polar White, Typhoon Silver, Titan Grey, Fiery Red, Starry Night and Metallic Copper. Additionally, the car will also be offered in two dual-tone shades of Polar White with Black Roof and Fiery Red with Black Roof.

The new i20 uses 66% Advanced High-Strength Steel in its construction.

Hyundai has released a new video that details the complete manufacturing process of the third generation i20.

The new i20 uses 66% Advanced High-Strength Steel in its construction. The superstructure is created using a 5,400 tons stamping press. Hyundai uses Crack, Neck Prediction methodology to produce zero crack panels. High quality grade coils are used to shape the panels, while 3D scanning is used to analyse and strengthen the press panel parts accuracy and precision.

The pressed panels are then sent to the body shop, where 450 4th gen robots apply over 4,000 welding spots in each car. More than 70 cars are processed here every hour. The process is divided into three stages -

• Intelligent weld monitoring
• Real time weld quality confirmation system [Colour tip sensor]
• Real time sealer quality confirmation system

The finished body is then sent to the paint shop. This is where High Throw Power 7th Generation Electro Deposition Paint is applied using 72 robots. An Anode Cell Current Monitoring system enhances the pain application quality.

Hyundai's in-house Endurance lab tests the performance with load conditions for 849 hours and without load conditions for 5 lakh cycles for transmission systems and over 350 hours for the Engine system. A Cold Test Bed tests engines for more than 15 parameters without burning fuel. All engines have to go through this automated test before being mounted in the vehicles. Both petrol and diesel engines are built at the powertrain shop using 700 CNC machines with Integrated SPC (Statistical Process Control). 58 engine parts are verified with High Speed Vision (60 frames/ minute).

80% of the car’s parts are fixed, preparing it through a 100% systemized 3 stage dynamic tightening confirmation that features:

• Electric tool tightening 700+ dynamic joints per car (safety and critical parts)
• Re-confirmation system across all the line (Trim, Chassis and Final line)
• Tightening quality and Sign-off interlock to ensure zero defect vehicle rollout

A systemized part feeding method is used for maintaining quality in feeding and assembly operation using:

• Global Part Traceability Information System
• Advanced Part Management System
• Mobility Sequence Feeding System
• Trolley Scheduling System

A 324-point check in HIDIS (Hyundai Integrated Digital Inspection System) ensures quality standards are maintained. Every vehicle is inspected by over 500 quality in-charge experts. The car then undergoes a dynamic road test on 18 drive tracks. The car is put through a leak test that is equivalent to driving through rain that exceeds the heaviest recorded monsoons, with a shower condition of 60 mm per minute or 3,600 mm per hour at a pressure of 3 bar.

The third-generation model is expected to be launched on October 28, 2020.

Hyundai has revealed the first design sketches of the India-spec i20. The third-generation model is expected to be launched on October 28, 2020.

The front end of the new i20 borrows design cues from the Verna facelift. The car has a glossy black grille with an H badge in the centre and triangular fog lamp pods. At the rear, the new i20 gets tail lights with Z-shaped brake lights and a chrome strip running between the clusters.

On the inside, the new i20 gets a dual-tone dashboard and fluorescent green trim. The centre console houses a floating touchscreen infotainment. The sketch also reveals a 4-spoke steering wheel and a digital instrument cluster.

The i20 is expected to get three engine options. These include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which will be paired to a manual transmission and an IVT, a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired to an iMT or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine paired to a manual transmission. These are the same engines and transmissions that are available in the Venue sub-4 meter crossover.

Under the sporty bodywork is a 204 BHP turbo petrol engine, a 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential.

While Hyundai is preparing to launch the third generation i20 in India, over in Europe, the carmaker has revealed its sportier version called the i20 N.

To transform the i20 into a hot hatchback, Hyundai has given it a sporty body kit and a more powerful engine. The car features redesigned front and rear bumpers and side skirts with red accents, a roof spoiler and 18-inch wheels. It has black interiors with blue accents, sports seats, sport steering wheel with a red button marked "Rev", metal pedals and a digital instrument cluster with unique graphics.

Under the bonnet, it gets a 1.6-litre, turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 204 BHP and 275 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and comes with a limited-slip differential. The car has a power-to-weight ratio of 171 BHP per ton.

Hyundai has also beefed up the suspension. The i20 N gets new joints, springs and shock absorbers. Larger diameter brakes provide better stopping power.

The i20 N comes with five driving modes - Normal, Eco, Sport, N and N Custom, which can be used to alter the engine response and sound, steering feel, ESP and rev-matching. The car also comes with launch control.

The new i20 will come with a Bose audio system.

The third generation Hyundai i20 was recently spotted at a dealership. Here are some more images of its interior.

The new i20 could be offered in four variants - Magna, Sportz, Asta and Asta (O). The car seen in these images appears to be a higher variant and has an all-black interior. It has a digital instrument cluster and a wide touchscreen infotainment and a Bose audio system. This variant also has automatic climate control.

The i20 is expected to get three engine options. These include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which will be paired to a manual transmission and an IVT, a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired to an iMT or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine paired to a manual transmission. These are the same engines and transmissions that are available in the Venue sub-4 meter crossover.

The third generation Hyundai i20 is expected to be launched during this festive season.

This may not be the i20 N-Line, but it seems to be powered by a 1.0L turbo petrol engine paired with a 7-speed DCT.

As Hyundai prepares to launch the third generation i20 in India, more spy images of the car have emerged. This time, the car being tested is believed to be a turbo petrol version.

On the outside, the test mule looks similar to those seen before. But, a quick glance at the window sticker reveals that the car is powered a 1.0-litre T-GDi turbo petrol engine which is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This engine could also be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission.

In India, the i20 is also likely to be offered with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 1.5-litre diesel with the option of a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Looking at the exterior, this does not seem like the N-Line version, which gets a sporty body kit featuring slightly different front and rear bumpers, dual exhausts and larger alloy wheels.
