Based on the Indian Car of the Year 2015 – Elite i20, Hyundai i20 Active will mark the entry of the South Korean car maker in yet another segment. With an aim to increase sales to 5 lakh units annually, in the domestic market, Hyundai India is on a product offensive. It’s just March, and this is their second launch of the year already.

Hyundai i20 Active will sport the same engine options as seen on board Elite i20. Petrol engine on board the i20 Active will be a 1.2 liter dual VTVT engine offering 83 PS power and 114 Nm torque mated to a five speed manual gearbox. A 1.4 liter U2 CRDi 4 cylinder diesel engine will be capable of 90 PS power and 220 Nm torque mated to a six speed manual gearbox.

Rear too gets a sharper roof spoiler, circular reflectors, and revised bumper.

The petrol and diesel engine will claim mileage of 17.19 kmpl and 21.19 kmpl respectively which is marginally lower than that offered on the i20 hatchback. This is because of the added weight, and revised final gear ratio, which as resulted in better acceleration, as compared to Elite i20.
