Hyundai will launch the new 2014 Elite i20 in India on Monday, August 11, 2014. The new Elite i20 will be unveiled for the first time globally and India will be the first market where it will go on sale. Hyundai dealers are already taking bookings for the new Elite i20. Hyundai will also showcase the 2014 Elite i20 at the upcoming Paris motor show 2014.  

 

Exterior

 

The new Elite i20’s styling is based on Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2 theme. The design language is in fact very similar to that seen on the Grand i10 and the Xcent. The low mounted grille forms the focal point of the design - the headlights, bonnet ‘V’ and even the strong shoulder line emanating from there. The upturned headlights have metal inserts that give definition to the overall design; the placement of the number plate is also interesting.

 

The overall stance of the car is also sporty. What also work well are the elongated wraparound tail-lights, which make the rear of the car look up-market and very European.

 

Interior

 

The new Elite i20 gets a longer wheelbase, this means, there is more interior space on offer than the current car. As seen from the spy shots, the new Elite i20 will get a dual-tone dash comprising a light beige top and dark brown bottom. The top half of the dash features soft-touch material in a light shade.

 

The central console is wide and comes with cool-blue back lighting, double-DIN audio player and climate control. Top-end variants will get push-button start like all Hyundai offerings. Additional features on offer depending on variant will be Bluetooth telephony, audio and multi-info display, dual 12V power sockets for the front passengers and USB. Continued..
