Hyundai Motor India has strengthened its focus on passenger safety by updating the i20 hatchback with six airbags as standard across all variants. This move makes the i20 one of the safer options in its segment, aligning with the brand’s growing emphasis on offering advanced safety features even in mass-market vehicles. With this update, Hyundai aims to appeal to safety-conscious buyers looking for a premium hatchback experience.
The updated Hyundai i20 is now priced starting at Rs. 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom), making the enhanced safety package accessible without a significant jump in cost. By standardising six airbags—front, side, and curtain—Hyundai has set a new benchmark in the segment, where many competitors still reserve such features for higher trims or offer fewer airbags as standard.
Apart from the added safety, the i20 continues to offer a modern and stylish design, which has been one of its strongest selling points. The sharp exterior styling, premium interior layout, and well-designed cabin help the i20 maintain its position as a sporty and youthful hatchback. Features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and connected car technology further enhance its appeal.
On the mechanical front, the Hyundai i20 remains unchanged, offering a range of petrol engine options paired with manual and automatic transmissions. These engines are known for their refined performance and fuel efficiency, catering to both city commuters and highway drivers. Hyundai’s proven reliability and widespread service network continue to add value to the overall ownership experience.
