Priced from £20,770, the upgraded supermini gets a latest design featuring a revised front bumper and radiator grille, together with a redesigned bumper and new Z-shaped LED rear lamps. New designs for the 16- and 17-inch wheels are available along with eight exterior colours – debuting three new options including Lucid Lime Meta.

More Hyundai Smart Sense safety features come as standard, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) for ‘City’, ‘Interurban’, ‘Pedestrian’ and ‘Cyclist’ and Lane Following Assist (LFA) ensures that the vehicle stays in the current lane of travel.

Optional safety systems include rear cross-traffic collision assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist and navigation-based smart cruise control.

The new i20 also offers a more simplified powertrain line up, with all models available with the 100hp turbocharged, three-cylinder petrol and a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. CO2 and MPG figures are to be confirmed.

In a range realignment, the new i20’s range now starts with the Advance trim from £20,770, followed by the Premium from £22,570 and the i20 Ultimate from £24,070.

It also adds in automatic wipers, automatically dimming rear view mirror, automatic air con with climate control, heated front seats, heated steering wheel and front arm rest. Other upgrades bring a 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation, as well as Hyundai’s Bluelink telematics system with a free three-year subscription.
