Hyundai i20 Elite Asta (Diesel)

Synopsis

Hyundai Elite i20 is one among top selling hatchbacks of India. They recently gave an update to this model by keeping most of the prices unchanged for now. Elite i20 Asta diesel is the top spec model that also has an optional available variant for a huge price difference. Hyundai brings dual airbags and ABS as standard on this car while many features were reshuffled after the launch of facelift version. i20 Asta diesel comes with some mouth watering features like 15 inch gunmetal finish alloy wheels and touch AVN with navigation and phone connectivity (MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay).

Hyundai offers this typical variant with rear parking sensors and camera. Unlike older models that had the display hidden behind rear view camera, 2018 Elite i20 comes with AVN based rear monitoring. Front fog lights help driver stay easy in uneven weather and low light conditions while headlights offer escort function for easy entry into dark places. Getting a smart key requires Asta (O) variant while Hyundai offers fold-able key for owner’s ease. Halogen headlight may feel like a drawback at such high price point. Body colored bumpers, outside door mirrors and door handles further complete the outer profile.
