The next generation Hyundai i20 hatchback has been spied testing at two diffrent locations in India. The vehicle was previously spotted testing in Korea and according to reports, scheduled to be unveiled in the middle of next year.
The pictures reveal that the next generation car is bigger, longer and is believed to have much more roomy interiors than the current car due to Hyundai increasing the wheelbase. Despite the increased wheelbase, the new i20 seems to be retaining its familiar design and will now adapt the fluidic design language completely.
The i20 is the first in its class to offer features rain sensing wipers, LED lights, push button start, reversing camera as well as day and night mirrors. We expect that Hyundai will continue will all of them in the new car.
The 2014 i20 is expected to use the same set of mills that power the current car. This means the 1.2 petrol mill producing 83PS and 113Nm of torque as well as the 1.4-litre diesel mill that produces 89PS and 219Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or a four-speed automatic (petrol only).
