The next-gen i20 will also come with Hyundai BlueLink Technology, wireless charging and other first-in segment features.
Hyundai i20 has always been an upmarket hatchback which provides loads of features inside and also happen to keep the prices in check with the competition. And the 2020 Hyundai i20 will be no less as it will get a digital speedometer.
Yes, the next-gen Hyundai i20 is expected to enter Indian shores by 2020 and it will provide the first in segment digital speedometer. It is still unknown if this exclusive feature will stick through all variants of the i20 or just the top spec Asta trim.
The unit is expected to be borrowed from the next-gen Hyundai Creta which will be showcased in the 2020 Auto Expo. And we might get new engines for the upcoming hatchback too.

Apart from the digital instrument cluster, Hyundai i20 will also get the BlueLink connected car technology which came with the Venue. The recently launched Elantra also gets this feature.
The next-gen i20 will also receive a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as connectivity features. Automatic climate control, Wireless charging, multiple airbags, start/stop button and several other features which its competition lacks.
Also, like we said above, the engine options might be new too. The 1.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine which produces 90 bhp will be replaced by a 1.5L motor. This new engine is borrowed from the Kia Seltos which produces 115 bhp and will come in the Creta as well as the Verna.

However, the power figures will be detuned to keep the costs in check and to increase the fuel efficiency. The hatchback will compete with Maruti Baleno, Volkswagen Polo, Honda Jazz. While the diesel engine on the Jazz will continue post BS6 emission norms but Maruti and Volkswagen are thinking to discontinue the Baleno and Polo diesel engines.
Also, there might be a possibility of a new turbocharged petrol engine for the Hyundai i20. The engine 1.0-litre petrol motor will be borrowed from the Hyundai Venue and the motor produces 120 bhp which gets mated with a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
With the new features and the BS6 engines, the prices of the Hyundai i20 will surely be increased by a good margin. We expect the petrol trims to get costlier by Rs 20000-30000, depending on the variant. We are not sure if how much the more the BS6 diesel will cost. The current ongoing Hyundai i20 sells off at Rs 5.5 lakh to Rs 9.31 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
