Hyundai had been playing quite the tease with the unveiling of the new Elite i20. Here's a look at what the deal is all about - fresh from the drive review.
There is no arguing with the fact that the new i20 is by far the handsomest car in the hatchback segment
There is nothing fluidic about this design language. It's a hard hitting, edgy design language which you just cannot ignore
The i20 has a 'floating roof' effect thanks to that blacked out chunky C-pillar
The wheel wells look a bit empty with the 16-inch rims and tyres that the India-spec i20 comes with
Familiar trim and variant badging carried over from the outgoing model
The Hyundai Veloster inspired tail looks aggressive
The i20's tail lights could remind you of the design treatment that Alfa Romeo or Audi use for theirs
The Elite i20's interiors are impressive enough to be counted among the more luxurious German set of premium hatchbacks
There are enough ports and sockets to charge most of your gadgets on the go
The audio system, like in the Grand i10, comes with 1GB of media storage space
The switches and controls are easy to reach and memorise
Steering mounted controls for audio and telephony...
...and for controlling the multi-info display
The highlight of the Elite i20's diesel drivetrain is the slick shift lever
The seats are supportive and seem to have enough strength to keep your back and thighs firmly in place
The i20 has a wrap-around dashboard with some of the elements inclined towards the driver
Despite staying under the 4-meter umbrella, the increased wheelbase has liberated more room inside the cabin
The i20 continues to get the RVM integrated reversing camera
The new i20 gets the same petrol and diesel powertrain configurations as before
The ride quality is good for most urban and highway conditions
