Recently, Hyundai introduced a slim new Sports car, adding to its lineup of i20 in India. The popular hatchback got a facelift wherein several additional features were added to the Hyundai i20 Sportz. However, the upgraded variant still resembles the i20 Sportz‘s older version.
In the following paragraphs, let us learn more about the newly introduced Hyundai i20 Sportz.
Hyundai i20 Sportz – The New Features
At one glance, you can understand that the new version of the vehicle maintains the standard Sportz sleek design. The latest addition is the single-window sunroof. This feature was, however, just reserved for the higher version Asta and Asta (O). As far as the Hyundai i20 Sportz price is concerned, the cost of this variant is higher by INR 35,000 as compared to the Sportz trim. The Sportz (O) provided an exciting package that is quite compelling.
Upgrades in Features
The Sportz (O) trim is different from the single-pane sunroof. This feature offers a touch of luxury despite not being the highest-ranged variant. There is a wireless charger. The armrests are adorned with a faux leather finish, enhancing the car’s interior’s aesthetic look.
As far as the older features of the Hyundai i20 Sportz are concerned, the driver seat, which is height adjustable, cruise control, and the rear parking camera are all present and have been retained even in the new variant.
Powertrain Specifications
The powerful and reliable 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine drives the Sportz. But for this variant exclusively, it comes with a 5-speed manual transmission. About 83hp of power is generated by the engine. It ensures that you will have a smooth and effective driving experience.
Safety is a Priority
As far as safety is concerned, it is always a priority in Sportz (O). It has 6 airbags, EBD, ABS, ESC, Vehicle Stability Management Control, and a hill-start assist. The sound system comprises rear and front speakers. There is a 16-inch steel wheel. The sound system is equipped with front tweeters. In the higher variants, you will come across the Bose sound system.
The Hyundai i20 Sportz price is higher by INR 35,000 than the earlier variant. The price tag is INR 8.73 lakh ex-showroom price for the variants with the monotone option. And for those with a dual-tone, it is priced slightly at INR 8.88 lakh.
The facelift is ready to compete with its rivals in the same hatchback segment, including Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Tata Altroz, and Toyota Glanza. But among all of them, Altroz is the only variant that can live up to competition with Hyundai i20 Sportz since both have turbo-petrol engine options.
