The i20 is the sophisticated choice in the premium hatchback segment. It trades the raw sportiness of its predecessors for a highly refined, tech-loaded, and visually striking package. If you want the features of a segment-above sedan wrapped in a hatchback footprint, this is the most premium option available.
Hyundai I20 price starts at ₹ 5.99 Lakh and goes upto ₹ 10.57 Lakh (Avg. Ex-Showroom, Delhi). It is offered in 17 variants. The base model is Hyundai I20 Era and the top model is Hyundai I20 Asta (o) Knight At (ivt) Dt.
Skip the base Era trim completely, as the interior looks too basic for a premium hatchback and misses out on essential infotainment. The mid-spec Sportz offers fantastic value, giving you the digital cluster, a proper touchscreen, and automatic climate control—everything you need for a comfortable daily commute. Stretch to the top Asta trims if you want the premium Bose sound system and the electric sunroof, which genuinely elevate the cabin experience to feel like a much more expensive sedan.
