Hyundai India has teased the upcoming i20 facelift, which is expected to be launched around the festive season. It will be the first major update for the i20 since the launch of the new-generation version in 2020.
Hyundai i20 Facelift – What Do The New Teaser Reveal?
- The latest teaser of the upcoming Hyundai i20 reveals the front profile of the upgraded hatch, featuring a revamped cascading grille, a new headlamp setup with similar inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, and a reworked bumper with sharply designed triangular side intakes.
- All these changes align with the global-spec Hyundai i20, which received the facelift update in May this year.

- Hyundai will also make the six airbags as standard fitment.

Powertrain
- Expect the i20 facelift to retain the ongoing 1.2-litre naturally aspirated and 1-litre turbocharged petrol engines. However, the ongoing 6-speed iMT (clutchless manual gearbox) offered with the turbo mill might be replaced by a conventional manual gearbox.
Expected Price and Competitors
The facelifted Hyundai i20 will undoubtedly command a significant price premium over its current model, which retails between Rs 7.46 lakh and Rs 11.88 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will continue to rival the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Glanza, and Tata Altroz.
