Mr Tarun Garg, Director (Sales, Marketing & Service), Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said, “We are delighted to receive around 30,000 bookings for the all-new i20 and as Smart Indian customers are opting for smart cars, we are observing that around 85 % of these bookings are attributed to higher trims of the all-new i20.”

Consumers are clearly veering towards the top models as they feel they’re more value-for-money. Also, it has to be noted that all the flagship features that have been mentioned for the Hyundai i20 by the company are found in the top variants only. The base Magna trim is hit by this the most as it carries over the old audio system from the elite i20 and gets only analogue dials in the instrument console.

The higher variants of the new Hyundai i20 have segment-leading features like a 7-speaker bose audio system, all-digital instrument console with multiple modes, a 10-inch infotainment system with inbuilt Apple Carplay and Android Auto, Hyundai Bluelink over the air updates, and a wireless charger with a cooling pad.
