dr_nishu Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 After Refreshing their Old-Warhorse from the i-Series i.e; i10, Hyundai India is now Readiying the Face-lift & Updated version of their Premium Hatchback -i20. Changes Expected are the; -Styling Tweaks to the Front End, similar to their ix-35 & now their i10. -Re-designed Tail-lamps & Rear Bumper. -Replacement of Old 1.2l kappa Petrol engine with the New i10 based Tweaked 1.2l Kappa2 or VTVT engine. -Bluetooth Enabled Stereo, etc. Source: http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100927/biz.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonFre Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I read it too but isn't it too soon for a facelift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgiitk Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think they have the VTVT Kappa, which will be put into the bonnet, so are doing a few very minor things as well. It will be stupid to have the VTVT in the i10 and not the i20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG1 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I personally dont expect any design facelift. maybe something new under the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designersf Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The i20 will definitely get the global Hyundai look but as mentioned, it is too early for one. Maybe a year down the line, we can expect a facelift like the i10 and the iX20 MPV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 VTVT under the bonnet for sure. That looks like a rather fast facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asethi919 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hyundai is taking a lesson out of Honda's practices. Honda has been able to maintain good numbers for Accord and City because of timely upgrades. Hyundai would like to continue the momentum the i20 has built up in India along with the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nishu Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 @all; I also agree with the fact that this Oncoming face-lift will be a bit early for i20 but Hyundai is more Interested just because; -To Update their Global Range as per their 2010 plans & design Standards. -This upcoming face-lift is going to be for the i20s destined both for India & Abroad, as the Recent face-lift was restricted for India only & International versions are already having that features from Day1. -To Introduce Slightly more Green & Fuel Efficient 1.2l kappa2 VTVT engine in i20 range also. -Their Upcoming Rival New Swift 2011. O.T: Hats off to the Hyundai for Introducing the Hi-Tech VTVT(Variable Valve Tech) in Mass Hatchback(i10) segment, first in the Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rssh Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think Hyundai will only add the bluetooth and upgraded engine in the i20 as I recently went for the 3 rd service today and saw one with VTVT badging and it looked the same to me , I never bothered asking the salesman as the engine change was obvious.

suntusu7 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I m bit confused after reading this thread and a thread regarding ix20. Will ix20 be the next i20 here or will hyundai do some cosmetic changes and launch i20 with 1.2 VTVT engine.If that happens can anybody update when the launch is tentatively schedule.

Durango Dude Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 @Suntusu7: ix20 looks very similar to the i20 but is a compact MPV based on the Kia Venga. Front end of the ix20 looks a bit like our facelifted i10. Whereas, i20 is (ahem) i20, confusing, Njoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntusu7 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks for clearing the confusion DD but any idea when is i20 with VTVT engine getting launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amritevil Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I20 seems to be having discounts this december. Looks like i20 VTVT is on its way in Jan-Feb 2011. I dont see a reason why discounts would be offered on super selling i20 (first time ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashikawa Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hope ,this new i20 will be free from steering rattles. Note from Mod: Avoid posting outside links. BornFree2011-01-11 16:47:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiti Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hyundai doesn't have a solution for their classic "Steering Rattle" problem on both i10's and i20's. Also it seems that the top management does not pay any heed to any consumer complaint in regards with this issue. I have seen couple of guys have gone to consumer court. Lets wait for the same. IMHO, whats the use of launching newer models and face lift's if they are not able to solve MAJOR issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashikawa Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 @amiti Just think this kind of serious problem may even lead to a horrible accident. With this much steering complaints how hyundai is always preffered by people. Also I see people advising to buy a hyundai ignoring this serios flaw. Even one can do with the rattles of maruti, instead of risking life with such flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiti Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ashikawa, you are spot on. One guy from gujrat just escaped an accident. He has gone to consumer court. I will update you all regarding his hearings. Hyundai is not at all serious regarding this problem This is a serious flaw in Hyundai vehicles. Since they are yet to master the art of EPS, they have this flaw. Due to this Hyundai has lost almost 50 customers from Pune. I really feel that one should not put his/her hard earned monies in any hyundai product. By the way I also have i10 asta and dont want other fellow members to go through this.

motorhead Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 In fact before deciding A-Star, I took test drive of i10 of my S-I-Law, witch had just done 2800 km. on odo and was pathetic to at least ( it was irde or something ), clutch was like, I was driving five years old car and above speed of 50 it was like "no don't push too further", ah how do people drive these cars ?, only GOD knows.

creativebala Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 -Styling Tweaks to the Front End' date=' similar to their ix-35 & now their i10.[/quote'] IMHO, this would make the i20 very close looking to VernaRB hatch, which is IMO not as good looking as the current i20, so I think, this time the upgrade will be just for engine.

IMO, Its Interiors are already Saturated with Upgradations & doesn't have any corner left for upgradation. & By anyhow its AC & Steering Rattling Issues get Resolved in its 2011 version.

cg2074 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 hi Guys, Is i20 getting a facelift by Oct / Nov 2011 ? I'm planning to buy an i20 and thinking if it is worth to wait for the facelift version. Pls suggest. Regards, cg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejasmehta990 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 If this would be avataar of new i20 than it is worth waiting for. Post edited: Kindly remove the Watermarks before posting pics/content. BornFree2011-07-03 04:54:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
