2020 Hyundai i20 To Get BlueLink Connected Car Technology
Hyundai is all set to give a generation change to the i20 hatchback in the Indian market. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, its launch has been postponed to September from June, 2020. Speaking to carandbike, Tarun Garg, Director – Sales and Marketing, Hyundai Motor India, has revealed that the 2020 Hyundai i20 will come with the BlueLink connected car technology similar to the new Creta, Verna and Venue.
The next-generation i20 might offer 33 connected services including 10 India-specific features as we have seen in the Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV. The connected features are divided into 7 categories – Safety, Security, VRM (Vehicle Relation Management), Remote, Voice Recognition Services, LBS (Location Based Services) and Alerts Services.
Besides Hyundai’s BlueLink, the 2020 Hyundai i20 will receive new 10.25-inch displays with a navigation touchscreen, a digital cluster and wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. For entertainment purpose, there will be an optional Bose audio system with 8-speakers and a sub-woofer. Read – 20,000 New Hyundai Creta Booked So Far
