6-speed manual transmission
The diesel variant of Elite i20 offers 6-speed manual transmission.
The i20 1.4 CRDi 90PS Blue Drive model features fuel saving technologies such as Intelligent Stop & Go which switches the engine off when coming to a halt and starts it again when depressing the clutch. Not only does this reduce emissions, but also improves fuel efficiency. The result is CO2 emissions of just 96 g/km and a combined 76.3 mpg*. The impressively efficient 1.2 litre petrol engine delivers a combined 57.6 mpg whilst keeping CO2 emissions low at 114 g/km, qualifying for free road tax in the first year.
With a large cabin and a generous list of standard technologies, including some 'firsts' for the European B-segment, the New Generation i20 offers a sophisticated and luxurious occupant environment that will appeal to a young audience.
The new, larger platform on which the New Generation i20 is based has a wheelbase that is 45 mm longer (now 2570 mm), providing greater interior space to match the sophisticated look.
Thanks to its increased dimensions and ergonomic cabin packaging, the New Generation i20 is one of the most competitive cars in its class for interior spaciousness. The new model is longer, wider and lower, providing Hyundai Motor's designers with more space to create a genuine five-seater for the B-segment, with the new model now yielding a more substantial cabin space.
The New Generation i20 offers combined front and rear legroom of 1892 mm, a class-leading figure and comparable with the space of a C-segment vehicle. Despite its lower roofline, the more substantial footprint and lower seat position enhance interior dimensions, allowing five adults to travel in comfort.
Compared with the previous model, front-seat occupants enjoy 33 mm greater headroom (1038 mm), more legroom (+24 mm to 1098 mm), a 6 mm increase in the hip room (1301 mm) and 15 mm more shoulder space (1365 mm). In the rear of the cabin, headroom of 978 mm, legroom of 794 mm and shoulder room of 1350 mm allow three adults to be seated in comfort.
Additional legroom was created in the front by raising the height of the dashboard and moving the glovebox and surrounding components forward - made possible due to the longer hood.
Cargo capacity has also been enhanced, making the vehicle one of the most accommodating in the segment. The boot volume has increased by 10% to a class-leading 326 litres (previously 295 litres) with the rear seats upright.
Thanks to clever packaging, the rear bench can fold fully flat, meaning trunk capacity is boosted to 1042 litres with the rear seats folded - ideal for young families and those carrying larger items. A two-stage luggage floor board can be moved up or down to conceal items and create additional storage options.
