New Aesthetics and Design
Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design concept is reflected in the 2025 Hyundai i20’s updated exterior. The car’s dynamic stance is improved by a redesigned bumper, sleeker LED headlamps, and a redesigned front grille. New 16-inch alloy wheels draw attention to the side profile, and the rear has a sportier bumper and updated LED tail lamps.
Inside, the cabin receives a dual-tone black and grey theme, replacing the previous all-black interior. The use of soft-touch materials and semi-leatherette upholstery elevates the premium feel. The dashboard layout remains driver-centric, ensuring ease of access to controls and infotainment features .
Performance and Powertrain
The 2025 i20’s 1.2-liter Kappa petrol engine produces 83 PS when mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and 88 PS when mated to an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The standard i20 lineup no longer includes the turbocharged 1.0-liter petrol engine, which is anticipated to be reserved for the next N Line model.
By automatically turning off the engine when it is idle, the Idle Stop & Go (ISG) feature improves fuel efficiency by lowering emissions and fuel consumption.
