Major changes have been made under the bonnet. Hyundai has phased out the top-spec 1.4-litre petrol engine from the 2018 Hyundai i20 facelift model lineup. The other two engines are continued to be on offer – i.e. a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder Kappa VTVT petrol and a 1.4-litre CRDi diesel. While the former delivers power worth 81.83bhp against 114.7Nm of torque, the oil burner is good for 88.73bhp of power and 219.7Nm of torque. Instead of 1.4-litre automatic version, Hyundai has introduced the 1.2-litre Kappa petrol unit with a new CVT automatic gearbox.

The previous model was equipped with a 99bhp, 1.4-litre Dual VTVT petrol engine paired to a four-speed torque convertor. It attracted high excise duty, thus made it around 81,000 more expensive than its direct competitor Maruti Baleno Alpha CVT. In order to compete well against the Maruti Baleno CVT, the updated i20 receives a new CVT automatic gearbox that has been specifically developed for Indian market. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual and a CVT automatic. Read – Upcoming Hyundai Cars In India
