Following on from our last Blog, the new Hyundai i20 will be available from 7th May 2012 and prices will start at under £10k! Improvements have been made both internally and externally to further improve Hyundai’s very popular supermini.
There will be three main trim levels available starting with the base level Classic which comes with a very generous list of standard equipment. This includes air conditioning, remote central locking, six airbags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Vehicle Stability Management which is a first for the i20. The next trim up is the Active which in addition to the Classic specification has 15-inch alloy wheels, electric/heated door mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, front fog lights, leather steering wheel & gear knob and rear electric windows* (*5 door only). For those requiring even more luxury there is the range topping Style model. This includes automatic headlights, rain sensing front wipers, climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels and an automatic dimming rear view mirror with integrated reversing camera. Buyers will also have the option of a Convenience Pack which comprises of chrome exterior door handles, keyless entry, supervision cluster and engine start/stop button.
Further details have also emerged on the improved engine line-up. The ever popular 1.2 litre petrol engine now has increased fuel economy figure of 57.7mpg on the combined cycle (existing engine is 55.4 mpg). CO2 emissions have also been reduced from 119g/km to 114g/km which makes it one of the most fuel efficient 1.2 litre petrol engines on the market! For those concerned that power has been scarified over improved fuel efficiency fear not as power has actually been increased from 79ps to 85ps.
As previously mentioned in our last Blog post the new i20 also sees the introduction of an ultra-efficient 1.1 litre diesel engine. A three-cylinder set-up, Intelligent Stop & Go and low rolling resistance tyres all contribute to an incredibly low CO2 figure of just 84g/km and a fuel economy figure of 88.3mpg (on the combined cycle) which makes it the lowest emitting diesel engine in the UK - quite an achievement I think you’ll agree!
The new i20 will be in our showrooms very soon so for more information simply pop in to any of our two centres or give us a call.
