Hyundai i20 variants likely to be rejigged; lower variants to get new features

- Two petrol variants likely to be discontinued 

- Lower variants to get cruise control, electric sunroof, and automatic climate control

Hyundai India is likely to rejig the variant line-up of the i20 hatchback. Launched in late 2020, the i20 is offered in three engine options across four variants. Now, the carmaker is likely to discontinue select variants and add new features for the lower variants. 

As per the leaked document, the Asta 1.2 IVT and Asta 1.0 Turbo DCT have been axed while the lower variants are likely to benefit from new features. The Sportz trim will get features like automatic climate control and cruise control while the Asta variant gains an electric sunroof along with the above-mentioned features. 

However, in this exchange, the Asta version loses out on the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system for a smaller eight-inch infotainment system. As for the top-spec Asta (O) trim, the connectivity options have been extended with voice commands such as sunroof controls, welcome message, contact information, navigation assistance, and driver side window control. 

The top-spec variants of the i20 continue to be offered with features such as LED projector headlamps, a digital driver’s display, wireless charging, a seven-speaker Bose stereo system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity options, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, and tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel.
