Hyundai Motors India Limited has commenced bookings for the 2020 Hyundai i20 prior its launch scheduled for November 5. The carmaker has officially announced the booking price of Rs 21,000 across all official online and offline platforms.

The i20 in its third generation is based on Hyundai’s global design philosophy called ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ which was earlier seen on the new Hyundai Verna as well. On the outside from the pictures, one can see the i20 now gets a lower nose with a hexagonal-shaped blacked-out front grille. It looks like the 2020 Hyundai i20 gets projector headlamps with LED DRLs and turn indicators. Also, the tail lamps are Z-shaped and there is a thin chrome strip running between them on the boot lid. The overall design looks far more aggressive and sharper than before. There’s a distinct lack of chrome up front, and the i20 certainly looks good.
