The oil burner will the same power output as the Venue. Let's see if the 1.0L turbo petrol will be offered in its same tune of 118 bhp or will be lowered for i20.
The prices for the same are expected to see an increase because of the new engines, design and features. Once launched, the i20 will rival Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza and Honda Jazz.
