The spy shot here is of the top end petrol variant i.e. Asta (O) which features an automatic gearbox. From seat upholstery to dashboard and steering wheel design, everything looks identical to the ongoing model. Although, currently Hyundai offers the automatic transmission option only on the Magna variant which does not feature a touch screen entertainment system. The test mule, however, gets a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system similar to the one on the Verna. Both the automatic gearbox and the updated infotainment system might be available on the Asta (O) variant upon launch next year.
The cascading grille can be seen more clearly now and the test mule was sporting an “Auto” badge on the fender. The second mule spotted was missing on projector headlamps suggesting this being Sportz or Asta trim. The LED daytime running lights (DRLs) have been positioned next to the fog lamps and there have been reports of a redesigned bumper but the same couldn’t be confirmed via the spy pics. At the back, the upcoming Hyundai i20 will feature new taillight design and graphics. The rear number-plate has been shifted from the bumper to the boot as well.
Following the recent spy shots, we can work out certain details that will be carried over from the current model including dashboard layout and color scheme, upholstery materials and color scheme. The design of the steering wheel, center column are identical to the current model as well. The final changes will be available as we near the launch.
