Hyundai i20 2018 sketch
Ahead of the much-anticipated launch of the 2018 Hyundai i20, IAB's graphic artist has sketched out the final design for the rear half of the car.
Shoeb Kalania’s renderings show the car has many similar features compared to previous “leaked” images on the test track. The highlight is the taillight design, inspired by the third-generation Hyundai i30.
The horizontal license plate is placed in a recessed frame that fits under the tailgate, instead of the position on the trunk of the previous versions. The new generation Hyundai i20 will have a rear bumper with a stronger design and equipped with new reflectors.
In the front body, Hyundai i20 2018 is equipped with Cascading grille and new brand logo design. Leaked images show that the car will have a fresher design with changes from the front bumper, grille to fog lights.
Regarding the interior, Hyundai will enhance the touch system on the infotainment screen and add chrome details on the center console and fan.
Hyundai is expected to have no major changes in the engine and transmission. The car company offers three engine options for the new generation i20: 1.2L Kappa petrol engine connected to a 5-speed manual transmission; 1.4L petrol engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission and 1.4L U2 CRDi diesel engine connected to a 6-speed manual transmission.
It is expected that the 2018 Hyundai i20 version will be officially launched at Auto Expo 2018, on February 7./.
