Which variant of the Hyundai i20 should you buy?

For most buyers, the Sportz (O) trim of the Hyundai i20 is the one we’d recommend. It comes with a good balance of features at the right price without sacrificing much. For buyers looking for a trim with the most bells and whistles, the Asta should be the choice, as it has features like a wireless phone charger, soft touch inserts on the dash, ambient lighting and a rear wiper and washer. With the i20’s lower trims, Hyundai is offering a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a rearview camera for an additional Rs 15,000 as dealer-level fitments.
