Next-generation Hyundai i20: Design and interiors' details explained
South Korean car giant Hyundai has updated a number of vehicles in 2020. From the new-gen Elantra to Creta, a majority of the Hyundai cars are getting some serious makeovers. Soon the next-generation i20 will also join the list. The car has already been revealed digitally in the international market.
The all-new Hyundai i20 boasts a sportier design, as for the available pictures, it has also grown slightly bigger in size. It adopts a more modern, and edgier design. The company says that it derives inspiration from Hyundai's 'Sensuous Sportiness' design language which 'is defined by the harmony between four fundamental elements in vehicle design: proportion, architecture, styling, and technology.'
