Hyundai has launched the latest generation of their premium hatchback in India. Now called the Elite i20, the car features a raft of changes, both visually and mechanically. Styling wise, the Elite i20 features Hyundai's latest design language - the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 philosophy. As a result, the new design now has sharper lines, a much more aggressive front end with a large grille and a striking rear with large, wrap around tail lamps. Powertrain wise, the i20 features updated versions of the two engines offered on the last-generation car. So, now the 1.2-litre petrol engine offers 82bhp of power and 115Nm of torque, while the 1.4-litre U2 CRDi engine offers 89bhp and an impressive 220Nm of torque. Both engines have also been updated as far as their efficiency is concerned, so the claimed fuel efficiency is now 18.6km/l for the petrol and 22.54km/l for the diesel, which Hyundai claims are best-in-class figures. The interiors of the Elite i20 are quite impressive as it comes loaded with features as standard equipment. So, beginning from automatic climate control, rear a/c vents, audio system with built-in 1GB of storage, Bluetooth connectivity, smart key with start-stop button, automatic headlamps, dual airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, reversing camera and an automatic dimming mirror, the car is absolutely packed with features. In fact, the Hyundai Elite i20 is easily the best-equipped car in its class. Available in four versions in both petrol and diesel, the pricing of the Elite i20 is quite competitive with the petrol versions ranging from ₹ 4.9 to ₹6.47 lakhs, while the diesel versions range from ₹ 6.1 to ₹7.67 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi).
