We broke the story a little while ago that Hyundai will soon offer the i20 with a touchscreen infotainment system. Now our sources have confirmed this news, with Hyundai equipping the top trim levels of the i20 and the i20 Active with a touchscreen infotainment system. The seven-inch AVN system will be seen on the top-spec SX trim of the i20 Active, while the i20 gets the system on its new top-spec Asta(O) trim.

The i20 Active continues to be offered in three trim levels – Base, S and SX – with the top-spec SX trim now being offered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine as well. The touchscreen system offers Bluetooth, aux and USB connectivity, as well as the display of the rear parking camera, previously shown on the rear-view mirror.

The standard i20 hatchback's new top trim level, Asta(O), is positioned above the Asta trim. The Asta(O) trim gets the addition of the seven-inch touchscreen AVN system with USB, aux and Bluetooth connectivity, along with all the features present on the Asta trim.
