Hyundai Elite i20 (2019) Updates

The era of the Hyundai Elite i20 came to an end with the introduction of the new-gen i20, marking a transition to newer models and technologies. This change signifies Hyundais commitment to innovation and keeping up with market trends.

In November 2020, Hyundai offered discounts up to Rs 70,000 on several models, including the Elite i20, as part of their sales strategy. This was an effort to boost sales during a sluggish market period.

The 2019 Hyundai Elite i20 has seen significant sales, with the model crossing 1.3 million sales figures in the same year. This milestone underscores the vehicles popularity in India. I think this is a testament to Hyundais strong market presence and customer trust.

The top-spec Asta(O) trim of the 2019 Hyundai Elite i20 now includes a CVT gearbox, in addition to the existing features. This makes the top variant more competitive in the market.

Hyundai has not made any changes under the hood of the 2019 Elite i20. It continues to be offered with the same engine options: a 1.2-litre petrol engine with manual and CVT gearbox, and a 1.4-litre diesel CRDi unit. The diesel variants are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.

Hyundais updates to the Elite i20 were partly in response to the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift, which was expected to have a long list of features starting from the base variant. This competitive move aims to keep the Elite i20 relevant in the market.

Hyundai India has introduced 15-inch gunmetal alloys for the single-tone Sportz+ variant, while the dual-tone Sportz+ gets 16-inch diamond cut alloys. This gives buyers more options to customize their vehicles look.

The 2019 Elite i20 Base Era MT model now comes with standard features like parking sensors and Eco Coating technology. This move is likely to enhance safety and convenience across the range. I believe these additions make the base model more appealing to budget-conscious buyers.

Hyundai India has updated the Elite i20 for 2019, introducing new variants such as the Magna+ and Sportz+. These variants come with additional features like Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and keyless entry. The Sportz+ variant also includes a chrome grille surround, rear parking sensors with a camera, and a sliding front armrest.

The 2019 Hyundai Elite i20 now offers wireless charging in the Sportz+ and Asta(O) variants, a feature that is a segment first. This update also includes CVT gearbox options for the Sportz+ and Asta(O) trims. I think this adds a lot of convenience for users who are always on the go.
