2020 Hyundai i20 DCT: At a glance
Hyundai I20's DCT model will be the flagship trim. It will have the same exteriors as the standard variant, featuring a sculpted bonnet, a blacked-out cascading grille, a wide air vent, and swept-back headlights with integrated LED DRLs. The sides will have blacked-out B-pillars, sleek ORVMs, and diamond-cut alloy wheels whereas the rear section will sport Z-shaped LED lights and a new bumper.
Power and performance
The Hyundai i20 DCT will draw power from a BS6-compliant 1.0-liter T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine, which we have already seen on the Hyundai Venue. The motor makes 120hp of maximum power and will come paired to a 7-speed DCT or an iMT gearbox.
How will the cabin look like?
2020 Hyundai i20 will feature an all-black 5-seater cabin with fabric upholstery, an electric sunroof, automatic climate control, and a multifunctional steering wheel. The car will house a digital instrument cluster, a 4.2-inch multi-information display, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment panel. Hyundai's Blue Link connected car technology will also be offered, along with a remote engine start/stop function, and all the standard safety provisions.
How much will it cost?
The top-spec Asta variant of the current-generation Hyundai i20 costs Rs. 8.32 lakh. However, the upcoming top-of-the-line i20 with turbo-petrol motor and 7-speed DCT will command a lot more. As per our sources, the i20 DCT will be priced close to Rs. 11 lakh (ex-showroom).
