Hyundai’s i10, to be made only in India and exported world wide, fills the gap between the Santro and Getz (didn’t realize there was any… until now). Hyundai says i10 symbolizes their new phase of operations (more to come ‘i’ cars).

more pictures & details after the jump.

This one surely looks the part - very contemporary & modern. The front bumper is wonderfully styled especially the bumper grille area where the number plate sits (a bit far fetched but reminds me of the new skyline GT-R’s bumper). Hyundai i10, sharing its platform with the Santro, also shares many parts and has the same dimensions with a few differences being it is 3 inches wider in overall width and 1.57 inches shorter. Also its track width is 3.34 inches wider.

Hyundai i20 is powered by an 1.2L kapp engine developing 80PS of max power at 5200rpm and 114Nm of peak torque at 4000rpm. Hyundai offers the premium hatchback in three variants – i20 Magna,i20 Asta and i20 Asta (O).
i20 is 3940mm in length,1710mm wide and 1505mm height and a wheelbase of 2525mm. i20 also offers a quiet decent luggage space of 295 litres. Turning radius of i20 is just 5.2m.

Unlike the i10 there is not automatic option for i20. A 5-speed manual transmission is uniform across all variants.Mcpherson strut with coil sprin and torison beam axle with coil spring forms the suspension setup of i20.
