In August 2014, Hyundai officially launched the affordable i20 model for the Indian market. In addition, Hyundai also plans to introduce the second generation i20 to European consumers through the Paris 2014 exhibition. Although the exhibition has not yet started, Hyundai quickly announced information and images of the European version of the i20.

Compared to the old version, the second generation Hyundai i20 has a completely new interior and exterior design. According to Hyundai, the interior design of the new i20 is “leading in terms of quality” in its segment.
Hyundai stated that the interior of the i20 2015 is supplemented with high-quality and soft plastic materials. Many independent consumers in Germany and the UK have highly rated the design and comfort of the Hyundai i20 interior compared to other main competitors.

On the dashboard and door panels of the new generation Hyundai i20, soft materials appear, which are described as durable and able to maintain a premium appearance even after a long period of use. The new Hyundai i20 interior has 4 color options for consumers to choose from, including beige, blue, café brown, and gray.
According to Hyundai, passengers sitting in the front seats have more legroom, headrests, and shoulder room. Meanwhile, the rear seats have enough space for 3 adults to sit comfortably.
In the European market, the new Hyundai i20 is equipped with 3 different petrol engines and 2 diesel engines, all of which meet Euro6 emission standards. Among them, the 1.25-liter 4-cylinder petrol engines produce a maximum output of 74 and 83 horsepower. The petrol engine is made entirely of aluminum, combined with a standard 5-speed manual transmission.
Next is the 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 99 horsepower. The power is transmitted to the wheels through a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
Finally, there are two 4-cylinder diesel engines with a capacity of 1.1 and 1.4 liters, accompanied by a 6-speed manual transmission. The respective maximum power of the two diesel engines is 74 and 89 horsepower.
