| 06-03-2012 at 08:00: The Updated i20 Revealed | |
|
Among the four powertrain options available in Europe for the updated i20, there will be a new 1.1-litre, 3-cylinder ‘U-II’ diesel engine that generates 55kW and amongst the lowest CO2 emissions of any conventional powertrain car on sale today. When mated to Hyundai’s Blue Drive technologies, this derivative emits just 84 g/km of CO2. The engine was developed at Hyundai’s Diesel Centre of Excellence – part of the European R&D set-up in Rüsselsheim, Germany – and showcases Hyundai’s development and expertise in clean diesel technology. This ground-breaking new engine will be offered alongside another sub-100 g/km diesel. When combined with Blue Drive technologies, the upgraded 1.4-litre ‘U-II’ 66kW engine emits 96 g/km. The revised exterior design carries the hallmarks of Hyundai styling, including the company’s signature hexagonal grille and new headlamp units. Updating their own design from the original i20, the stylists at Hyundai’s European design studio have further modernised the updated i20 with a more contemporary profile for the front and rear bumpers, a new sculpted bonnet and new wheel designs. The updated i20 is expected to arrive in Australian showrooms mid 2012. |
Hyundai have updated the i20 and ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show the first images have been released. The updated model features refreshed styling and enhanced equipment.^ Back to top ^
