Super Exclusive Hyundai i20

The new five-door i20 will go on sale in the UK on January 15, with the first three-door i20s arriving in April, but Hyundai decided to announce full pricing for its Getz replacement model. When the i20 goes on sale in the new year, the entry level 1.2-litre Classic will start at £8,195 for the three-door with a five door costing an extra £450. All i20s will be equipped with air-conditioning, six airbags, active head restraints, remote locking, electric front windows and an aux-in socket as standard.

The mid-range Comfort model, which Hyundai expects to be the best seller, starts from £8,995 and adds 15-inch alloy wheels, body colour door mirrors and handles, electric rear windows, full iPod integration, steering wheel mounted audio controls, a trip computer and a six-speaker system. The flagship model of the i20 range is the Style and it comes with 16-inch alloys, climate control, part-leather upholstery, metal-look facia and front fog lights.

The i20 will be available with two new petrol and diesel engines, including a 78HP 1.2-litre 'Kappa' petrol and 100HP 1.4-litre petrol borrowed from the i30 and the 1.4-litre capacity diesel unit offered in two version with outputs of 75HP and 90HP.
