Hyundai has teased the fourth-generation i20 yet again, this time revealing its new touchscreen and driver’s display. Earlier, the carmaker showed glimpses of the hatchback’s exterior lighting setup, featuring new exterior lights connected by illuminated bars both at the front and rear. The new Hyundai i20 is expected to debut during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off on June 11.
- New i20 may get a 12.3-inch touchscreen instead of the current 10.25-inch unit
- The digital driver’s display unit could also measure 12.3 inches
Next-gen Hyundai i20 interior teaser details
The twin digital screens seen in the teaser resemble those offered in the Hyundai Venue, and each could measure 12.3 inches. The current i20, for reference, offers either a 10.25-inch or an 8-inch touchscreen, depending on the variant. On the 10.25-inch unit, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are made wireless via an adapter, but Hyundai may eliminate the need for the same with the new infotainment system, enhancing convenience.
As for the driver’s display, even the tachometer graphics are similar to those in the compact SUV. A new steering wheel with ‘H’ in Morse code, a 360-degree camera and new upholstery colours are expected.
Next-gen Hyundai i20 exterior changes
What community is saying on the I20?
In addition to the new connected headlights and tail-lights, an earlier teaser showed a new front grille that was disconnected from the headlights, similar to that of the Verna. The placement of the Hyundai logo, finished in brushed aluminium, continues to be above the grille.
While a proper look at the side profile is pending at the time of writing, the tail-lights have a new C-shaped LED signature, and a black trim beneath the rear windscreen was also spotted. The next-generation model is expected to be larger than the current i20, and as we reported earlier, will be based on the Hyundai Bayon’s platform.
Next-gen Hyundai i20 powertrains
The upcoming i20 may continue to offer 84hp 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 120hp 1.0-litre direct injection turbo-petrol engine options. As we exclusively reported, the company is developing a new 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine, expected to deliver higher peak power and torque than the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol. It remains to be seen if Hyundai offers the new turbo-petrol engine with the new i20.
Hyundai has yet to confirm if it will launch the next-generation i20 in India. The current i20 is priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 10.39 lakh, while its sportier N-Line version ranges from Rs 9.27 lakh to Rs 11.59 lakh.
Ex-showroom prices mentioned above are as of June 11, 2026.
