Hyundai to launch a special edition of the Elite i20
Hyundai India is planning to launch a special edition variant of the Elite i20 to commemorate the first anniversary of the hatchback in India. This might also help Hyundai get the attention of potential customers who might have been distracted by the launch of the new Honda Jazz. This special edition dubbed the Hyundai i20 Celebration Edition, will be limited to just 600 units. The Hyundai Elite i20 is the current segment leader in terms of sales thanks to the stellar response the received by the standard i20 and the i20 Active and this special edition will only help enhance the hatchback’s appeal. Scroll down for the Hyundai Elite i20 Celebration Edition launch, price, pics, and features.
