In this silent update, the hatchback now gets safety features mandated by the government as standard. The safety feature list includes reverse parking sensors with a rear-view camera, speed alert system and driver and passenger seatbelt reminder.Â Apart from the standard kit, the hatchback does not sport any cosmetic or mechanical changes.

The fascia still sports a faux-skid plate and a wide cascading grille with projector headlamps flanked on either side. The beefy body cladding runs around the hatchback and the roof rails remain unchanged as well. The cabin is the same and features a 7-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

Mechanically, 2019 i20 Active gets the same engine and gearbox options in as before. 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed gearbox and a 1.4-litre diesel engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. The power output for petrol and diesel engines are rated at 83PS at 6,000rpm and 90PS at 4,000rpm respectively. Both the engines are yet to comply with the BSVI emission norms, that said, recently spy pictures of the 2020 Hyundai i20 Active surfaced online hinting at a generation-upgrade scheduled for Q1 next year. The next-generation Hyundai i20 Active is expected to break cover with a BSVI engine in India.
