New-Gen Hyundai i20 Teased

The newly released teaser showcased a sharper and quirkier design for the upcoming hatchback. The teaser showed Y-shaped LED DRLs placed horizontally with a connected light bar and rectangular-shaped LED headlamps. The front profile is expected to boast a more angular and sharper look. We can also anticipate some changes to the grille as well as the front bumper. The teaser also showed the Hyundai logo placed on the hood instead of the grille, similar to the one currently on sale in India.

If we further talk about the design, it is expected to get a new set of alloy wheels, complementing the overall sharp appeal of the vehicle. The side body lines and profile are also expected to receive a refresh. At the rear, the bumper and tailgate are expected to undergo minor revisions as well. However, these are just anticipations until the full design is revealed or more details become available.

The teaser revealed only a few design elements, but several international spy shots have already hinted at a new cabin theme and other updates. The new-generation model is expected to feature Hyundai's new Pleos Connect screen along with the updated operating system. Moreover, we can anticipate additional features on the inside, such as a 360-degree camera, ADAS, and other convenience and safety features.
