2020 Hyundai Elite i20 Spied With New Grille and 16-inch Alloy Wheels

The following months will witness a fleet of new vehicles from Hyundai. The nearest launch is the Hyundai Kona electric which is expected to arrive in July. Hyundai Grand i10 is the next in line, launched around the festive season. After that, it is possible that the Hyundai Elantra will be on the cards. Apart from these models, Hyundai is also reportedly working on the new generation Elite i20. Testing on the next-gen Elite i20 is ongoing, revealed by the latest spy shots. New Hyundai i20 will be ready for international and domestic launch possibly next year.

Next-gen Hyundai Elite i20 is likely to launch next year

In the premium hatchback segment, Maruti Baleno retains to be the segment-leading vehicle while Hyundai Elite i20 ranks as the second best-selling model. Moreover, the gap between Baleno and the second-ranked Elite i20 is widening. The latest updates confirm that Maruti Baleno has crossed 6 lakh sales within 44 months. On the other hand, Tata is also gearing toward launching the new Altroz on the same segment, which will undoubtedly stir up the competition. It poses an urgent need for the Hyundai to refresh the Elite i20. The next-gen Elite i20 is going to introduce a fleet of interior and exterior features.

In the latest spy picture, the Hyundai Elite i20 is heavily camouflaged. However, there are some visible exterior updates spotted from the spy images. First of all, the new Hyundai Elite i20 will get revised front grille which reminds us of the Lafesta’s design. It is also clear from the spy images that the headlight units will get the swept back design and the fog lamp house is also revamped.

The exterior of the Hyundai Elite i20 will come with extensive exterior updates

The back of the Elite i20 now features updated LED tail lamps. It seems that Hyundai will introduce a larger set of 16-inch machined alloy wheels which will give a boost to the road presence of the Elite i20.

No detail about the powertrain option of the next-gen Hyundai Elite i20 is available by far. Speculations suggest that Elite i20 will remain the current powertrain line-up but with BSVI updates. The transmission is likely to carry forward the existing options. Besides, the tops-spec Baleno RS is likely to come with 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine which debuts on the Hyundai Venue.
