Hyundai has announced the pricing and trim specifications for its refreshed i20 hatchback, which has gained an updated exterior and a few tech additions.
This mid-life facelift, which was announced in May, includes a redesigned front end, with a lower nose that moves the brand’s logo from the front grille to the bonnet. Alongside a new-look rear bumper, the refreshed i20 also features thicker LED lights in the front and rear and new-look 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels.
The hatchback’s options list will also include three new paint colours – a metallic lime green, a metallic blue and a grey.
The updated range begins with the ‘Advance’ trim, which comes with LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors with a rear view camera, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen and a ten-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. To meet the UK’s most recent safety regulation changes, the car now comes with lane-keeping assistance as standard too.
