2020 Hyundai Elite i20 is expected to go on sale during this festive season with a thoroughly overhauled interior and exterior

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has been on a launch spree as it began the calendar year with the debut of the Aura compact sedan before the arrival of the facelifted Verna and the second generation Creta. Only a few weeks ago, the updated Tucson was officially introduced as well and up next, the brand is certainly targetting to bring in a brand new avatar of one of its key volume sellers.

The Elite i20 has been around in the domestic market for long without any substantial updates and is getting a generation shift in response to the growing competition. The B2 segment hatchback has the Maruti Suzuki Baleno as its main competitor while the Tata Altroz joined the fray earlier this year.

The upcoming Elite i20 has already been caught on camera testing on Indian soil. It will have plenty in common with the third generation i20 revealed for Europe a long while ago. It has begun reaching the European countries giving us a thorough indication of what to expect in India, as it will likely be launched here during this festive season.
