After creating a storm in the Indian market with the i20 Active, Hyundai is looking to replicate its success globally with the European-spec i20. The carmaker has been spotted running a prototype of the rugged looking i20 in Southern Spain. The latter is expected to be called the i20 Cross in Europe.
Going up against cars like the Volkswagen Cross Polo, the i20 Cross is expected to feature a higher ground clearance and rugged looking exterior bits. In addition to the India-spec version, this Euro-spec i20 Cross is expected to feature a more luxurious cabin with an all-new infotainment system.
The i20 Cross will be powered by the same engine options as the standard i20. This will include the high-performance 186bhp turbocharged engine. Sadly, the India-spec i20 Active won’t get the same firepower and will continue to be powered by the regular 1.2 petrol and 1.4 litre diesel engine options.
