In terms of design, the 2020 i20 clearly looks a like a new generation vehicle with some heavy updates on the exteriors. While the profile has majorly remained similar to the previous gen model, aesthetically there are multiple design changes which makes the i20 look futuristic, agile and partly European. Being a Hyundai, the international spec i20 has come out as a heavily loaded package. It remains to be seen what all features will be available on the Indian model.
