In other updates, the South Korean automaker is already in work on the Hyundai i20 facelift. As per reports, the hatchback will arrive sometime in late 2022. The hatchback is likely to witness significant design changes. The front end could get a slightly updated bumper and grille with redesigned inserts. We could also see new alloy wheels, an updated rear bumper, a boot lid, and Venue-inspired taillamps.
The new Hyundai i20 could also come with a contemporary interior theme, updated seat upholstery, new connected features, and ventilated front seats. Although, we do not expect to see any changes under the hood. As of now, Hyundai has not made any official word on its India launch timeline. But we believe, we could see the updated model arrive on the market sometime in 2024.
