The third-generation Hyundai i20 was unveiled online for the European market on 19 February 2020; it was supposed to debut at the 90th Geneva Motor Show in March 2020, but the show and the launch were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is larger and lower than the previous generation and employs Hyundai's "Sensuous Sportiness" design philosophy, with a redesigned exterior and interior, and it is a five-door hatchback on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform related to the Hyundai Bayon, Venue, Creta (SU2) and Accent/Verna (HC), built in İzmit, Turkey (BC3) and Chennai, India (BI3). The performance i20 N uses a 1.6-litre Smartstream T-GDi engine with 204 PS.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
