Despite the mass migration to SUVs , the Hyundai i20 is still a strong seller in South Africa. With 1,700 units sold so far in 2024, it is outsold only by the Volkswagen Polo and the Suzuki Baleno and Toyota Starlet twins.
And now the South Korean importer is upping its hatchback game with a fresh new look for the Indian-built B-segment hatchback as well as lower pricing.
Launching in South Africa this week, the Hyundai i20 gets a fresh new front end design, with a new headlight and bumper configuration that sees the Hyundai badge moving above the honeycomb grille.
Strangely though, while the facelift has been applied to the base and mid-spec variants, the range-topping N-Line appears almost identical to the outgoing version.
Hyundai has reconfigured the line-up, with the previous Motion and Fluid model grades making way for Premium and Executive variants. The 1.0T Fluid has been replaced by a 1.4 Executive auto model, leaving the N-Line as the only turbocharged model.
