New Hyundai i20 is a direct rival to the Tata Altroz. How well do these premium hatchbacks fare against each other? Find out here.

Hyundai has finally launched the third-gen i20 in the country. It will compete with the likes of Tata Altroz, Maruti Baleno and more. The Altroz, however, isn’t the best-selling car in its segment, but it surely is the best-looking of the lot. Since the new-gen i20 too is on sale now, let’s find out how well do these premium hatchbacks fare against each other. Beginning with the dimensions, the i20 measures 3,995 mm in length, 1,775 mm in width, and 1,505 mm in height. The Altroz, on the other hand, is taller by 18 mm and smaller by 5 mm, but it is as wide as the all-new i20.

In terms of design, the new-gen i20 uses Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design theme while the Altroz gets the job done with Tata Motors’ Impact 2.0 design language. Interestingly, both of these premium hatchbacks look gorgeous. They get projector headlamps at the front along with LED DRLs, however, it is the i20 that comes with LED tail lamps. The Altroz’s tail lamps feature halogen bulbs, instead.
