Here's a list of 7 best features that the 2020 Hyundai i20 will come with. However, neither Maruti Baleno nor Toyota Glanza gets them.

Hyundai will most-likely be launching the new-gen Hyundai i20 in the Indian market by festive season this year. Before the country-wide lockdown was imposed, the carmaker launched the Verna facelift and new-gen Creta in our market. Earlier, the all-new hatchback was scheduled to launch in June this year but the event got delayed due to the current situation. The new-gen Hyundai i20 will feature distinctive looks, increased level of equipment, and new powertrain options. The silhouette of the new model will also be different than that of the outgoing car to make it look sportier. Once launched, the all-new hatchback will compete with the likes of Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza (re-badged Baleno). But, what will it have as an extra over the two to dominate the competition? Here are 7 features the new-gen i20 that are not available in any of its rivals.

Cruise Control

Cruise control is considered as one of the important features for cars nowadays. In this segment, the new Hyundai i20 is not the first car to be offered with this feature. VW Polo and Honda Jazz are also offered with this feature, but both Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza miss out on its convenience.

Electric Sunroof

New-gen i20 will be the first one to get a sunroof in all of its generations that were on sale in the country. In India, several test mules of the new-gen i20 have been spotted with an electric sunroof. However, the addition of an electric sunroof will make the cabin of the car airier and more lucrative to buyers, as sunroof is coming up as a new halo feature.
