2019 Hyundai i20 and i20 Active - INTERIOR

Hyundai Motor is continuing its success in the B-segment by introducing a refreshed i20 line-up. In order to meet customers' expectations, the Hyundai i20 five-door now has a more modern design as well as updated safety features with Hyundai SmartSense. For both the five-door and the three-door coupe, Hyundai is also introducing a seven-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT) for optimal driving comfort and an Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system, which will reduce CO2 emissions. Offering a choice of three different petrol powertrains, New i20 meets current market demands.

Easy to handle, easy to run

The New Hyundai i20 offers a choice of two petrol powertrains. The Kappa 1.0-litre T-GDI engine comes with a choice of two power outputs: the engine that is capable of 74 kW/100 PS is available with a five-speed manual transmission, while the high-power version of 88 kW/120 PS comes with a six-speed manual transmission. As an alternative, the 100PS engine can also be matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission - a Hyundai first in the i20 range. Offered for the i20 five-door and three-door Coupe, the Kappa 1.2-litre engine is available with two different outputs, both mated to a five-speed manual transmission: 55 kW/75 PS or 62 kW/84 PS.

The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) is a standard feature on all Hyundai i20 versions, which will contribute to lower fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions and higher efficiency. The fuel savings of using the ISG will be especially apparent when driving in urban areas, as ISG automatically switches off the engine when the car comes to a halt.

By concentrating on efficient petrol engines in the i20 range, Hyundai is responding to market demands. The 1.0 T-GDI is now equipped with a built-in particulate filter to enhance environmental performance. The whole i20 powertrain line-up is fully compliant with Euro 6d temp regulations.

Safe and reliable: introducing Hyundai SmartSense for i20

To comply with the highest European standards, the New Hyundai i20 now also includes the latest Hyundai SmartSense active safety and drivers assistance systems. These include Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) city and interurban, Driver Attention Alert (DAA) and High Beam Assist (HBA).

Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

The i20 can be equipped with Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). LDWS alerts drivers with clear visual and acoustic warnings if the car begins to drift outside its intended lane. This can help prevent potential collisions with other vehicles.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

The Lane Keeping Assist System alerts the driver of unsafe movements at over 60 km/h by sensing the car's position. The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) sounds an alarm before the car moves over white, lines as well as over cat's eyes, while LKAS warns the driver acoustically and visually before inducing corrective steering to guide the driver back to a safe position.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) city and interurban

The AEB (city and interurban) is an optional feature in the Hyundai i20. It is an advanced active safety feature that alerts drivers to emergency situations, and brakes autonomously if required. Using a front camera, AEB operates in three stages. Stage one is initially warning the driver visually and acoustically. Stage two is controlling the brake if there is danger of collision. Stage three is applying maximum braking force to avoid a collision, or minimising the damage if a collision is unavoidable.

Driver Attention Alert (DAA)

The i20 features Driver Attention Alert, a driver-protection feature to help monitor driving patterns in order to detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents. The system analyses various vehicle signals, such as steering angle, steering torque, the vehicle's position in the lane, and driving time. In addition, the driver can adjust a user-selectable setting for the system's sensitivity.
