Hyundai i20 2020 Launched in India at Rs 6.79 Lakh; Gets the Biggest Touchscreen
The third-gen i20 packs in more features along with a diesel engine.
Hyundai i20 2020 launch finally took place in India at an introductory price of Rs 6.79 lakh (ex-showroom, pan India). The third-generation i20 looks more charged in terms of looks, cabin feel and performance. The Korean automaker had discontinued the diesel i20 in March 2020 owing to the application of BS6 norms. Earlier, the only car to have a diesel heart in its segment was the Altroz. With the diesel motor, it looks to take on the segment-leader Maruti Baleno as well.
