The Hyundai i20 is a compact mid-range hatchback produced by the South Korean automaker Hyundai. Introduced in 2008 as the successor to the Hyundai Getz, the i20 was specifically designed to meet the expectations of the European market. For Europe, the i20 is manufactured at Hyundai’s Izmit plant in Turkey, while production for Asia and Oceania takes place at the Sriperumbudur facility in India. The model is not available in markets where the Hyundai Accent hatchback is sold, such as North America and South Korea.
The i20 is the third model in Hyundai’s new generation lineup, following the i30 and i10. Its design reflects European styling trends, with visual similarities to competitors like Opel and Peugeot. The headlights, for instance, resemble those of the Opel Corsa. Inside, the i20 features higher-quality materials compared to its predecessor, the Getz, and offers a surprisingly spacious 300-litre boot.
With a lower body and reduced center of gravity, the i20 delivers improved driving stability. The suspension setup is relatively firm, ensuring a comfortable ride while effectively absorbing road imperfections.
In 2012, the Hyundai i20 received a facelift that included a redesigned front grille, new headlights, and a refreshed bumper. The rear also saw updates, though they were more subtle. The engine lineup was streamlined to four options: two petrol and two diesel units. A notable addition was a 75 hp three-cylinder diesel engine, offering improved fuel efficiency.
Factory tyre sizes for the Hyundai i20 include 175/70 R14 and 185/60 R15.
