The Hyundai i20 is an attractive supermini hatchback that was launched in 2008 and is currently in the third generation. The i20 is loaded with advanced features, comfort, and a spacious cabin. In Kenya, the i20 is not as popular as other hatchbacks from the Japanese domestic market. The Hyundai I20 competes with the Suzuki Fronx, Ford Fiesta, Mazda Demio, Honda Civic, Volkswagen Polo, Renault Clio, and Toyota Starlet.
Hyundai i20: Exterior, Interior and Engine Options
The i20 has a sleek design that is sure to make a statement in traffic and turn heads when parked outside a café. The intriguing mesh grille, LED headlights, and signature DRLs give the I20 a sharp nose. The Hyundai i20 also comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and a rear spoiler with integrated LED brake lights to complete the sporty look.
The interior of the Hyundai i20 is upmarket and the dashboard has a clean and flowing design. The two-tone black and grey cabin, together with the soothing blue ambient lighting and the metal finish inside the door handles, make the i20 a premium car and a cut above other cars in its class.
The front seats are comfortable and well-cushioned to support both driver and passenger. The rear seats also have enough legroom and shoulder room to seat three passengers comfortably. The 311-litre boot behind the rear seats is large enough for small items of luggage and groceries.
