The Hyundai i20 Thread

Here's how much the facelifted Hyundai i20 costs in SA

Hyundai Automotive South Africa has launched the facelifted i20 hatchback range, complete with a new “Active” derivative.

As before, the facelifted line-up comprises six variants (and the choice of six colours), but the local arm of the Korean automaker has opted to remove the outgoing range’s Sport model in favour of the cross-hatchback Active derivative. Pricing starts at R229 900 and runs through to R284 900.

The powertrains (both naturally aspirated) carry over unchanged, which means there’s again the choice of a 1,2-litre four-cylinder petrol mill worth 61 kW and 115 N.m, and a 1,4-litre petrol four-pot with 74 kW and 133 N.m.

The transmissions are unchanged too, with the 1,2-litre models featuring a five-speed manual gearbox and the 1,4-litre versions a six-speeder. The pair of automatic models in the range both employ a four-speed self-shifting transmission (that means the new dual-clutch cog-swapper will not be offered locally).

Highlights inside include the addition of an infotainment system for the base Motion variants (and the rest of the range), and a centre arm-rest and rear parking sensors for the lone 1,2 Fluid model.

The 1,4 version of Fluid variants, meanwhile, gain yet more added kit in the form of automatic headlamps, LED daytime running lights and leather trim for the steering wheel and gear-knob. The new Active furthermore features static-bending headlamps as standard, in addition to its crossover-inspired styling.

As before, the 1,2-litre derivatives feature a two-year/30 000 km service plan, while the 1,4-litre models boast a three-year/60 000 km plan. All models, however, come with Hyundai’s five-year/150 000 km warranty as standard, along an additional two-year/50 000 km powertrain warranty.

Pricing:

Hyundai i20 1,2 Motion: R229 900
Hyundai i20 1,2 Fluid: R241 900
Hyundai i20 1,4 Motion AT: R254 900
Hyundai i20 1,4 Fluid: R266 900
Hyundai i20 1,4 Active: R279 900
Hyundai i20 1,4 Fluid AT: R284 900

A NA 1.4 for almost R300k, that must be the most expensive of the kind in the country.

Polo TSI 85kW Highline DSG®
Recommended Retail Price R302,200

But at-least the polo has newish engine and DSG gearbox.

The Polo is turbo charged, I was referring to normally aspirated cars. Doubt any other 1.4 NA car in this country costs that much. Although it's possible, I'm not aware of any other.

1.4 TEC SR AT
R304,995.00

Pretty much the same car as the I20, but they offer the EU infotainment screen.

Next they'll probably charge R900k for one of their sedans.

Hyundai SA's perked-up i20 range - specs and prices

Hyundai has perked up its popular i20 range in South Africa’s hyper-competitive small hatchback market with a mid-life facelift and equipment upgrades.

SA’s third best-selling B-segment hatch (after the VW Polo and Ford Fiesta) also introduces a new crossover version as a rival to cars like the Toyota Etios Cross. This model, called the i20 1.4 Active, replaces the old i20 1.4 Sport derivative and is dressed up with SUV-style roof rails and plastic front and rear skidplates to give it an ‘urban adventurer’ look. Inside, it gets a splash of extravagance with contrasting colours on the seats, dashboard and gearshift.

Though it’s front wheel driven like the rest of the i20 range and has no offroading aspirations, the new 1.4 Active gets a raised ride height (from 150mm to 170mm) to give it better ground clearance on rough gravel.

The Active is the new flagship of the range and is available in a single 1.4-litre, six-speed manual model selling for R279 990.

The remainder of the i20 range, which was launched here in 2015, has been given a makeover with reshaped bumpers, grille and lights, and new alloy wheel designs. The biggest change is at the back where larger tail lights and more bodywork detailing make for a busier look than the old car’s clean lines.

In all models the infotainment has been upgraded to a large screen system with Bluetooth and USB music connection, while navigation can be ordered as an optional extra.

As before the i20 is available in Motion and more upmarket Fluid grades, with all versions coming standard with keyless entry, driver and passenger airbags, ABS brakes, aircon, and front electric windows.

The higher-specced Fluid and Active derivatives replace manual aircon with automatic climate control, swop steel wheels for alloy versions, and throw extra features like automatic headlamps, LED daytime running lights, rear electric windows, a centre armrest, and rear park assist into the mix.

The upgrades come with nominal price increases of R5000.

With the 85kW Sport model dropped from the line up, the i20 range is available in two power outputs: a 1.2-litre petrol with 61kW and 115Nm, and a 1.4-litre petrol with 74kW and 133Nm.

The 1.2 versions are available only with a five-speed manual gearbox, while the 1.4 Fluid offers the choice of six-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The 1.4 Motion is only available in four-speed auto.

I drove the 1.4 Active manual at this week’s media launch in Gauteng and Hyundai’s compact hatch impressed above all with its soft-spoken refinement, smooth gearshifts and useably perky power, which allowed me to easily cruise at the national speed limit on the open road - and more, if I’d wanted to.

The cabin is smartly finished and the red detailing gives the black interior an appealing splash of colour.

I also drove the 1.2 manual and though it was noticeably less powerful, it still managed to cruise along, and even overtake the occasional long truck, without getting completely out of breath. It too was very refined with minimal wind and engine noise.

In both cars the power-assisted steering had a tendency not to self-centre as readily as expected - an issue I’ve picked up on other Hyundais.

Hyundai i20 Facelift (2018) Specs & Pricing in SA

Hyundai has announced the specification and pricing of its facelifted i20 range in South Africa. In addition to the subtle mid-life upgrade, there is now also a crossover-flavoured Active derivative.
With close to 90 000 examples sold in the South African market since its initial introduction in 2009, the i20 is one of the mainstays of the Korean giant's local line-up. The current generation i20 was originally launched early in 2015 and has now come under the knife for slight facelift. Several models have also benefitted from added features, but the major news is arguably the introduction of the crossover-themed Active 1.4 which replaces the outgoing Sport and comes in at a more affordable price.

General design changes
Ignoring the Active for now, the rest of the range also benefits from a few styling tweaks, predominantly to the front and rear bumpers, a reshaped grille and different graphics of the head- and taillamps. Inside, Hyundai's efforts have gone into creating a more upmarket look and feel, and so expect to see upgraded materials and finer attention to detail. Under-the-skin changes include revisions to the front and rear suspension as well as the steering, all in an effort to endow the i20 with greater steering precision, comfort and responsiveness. We'll drive the new i20 soon, so look out for our thoughts on these changes.

The Active

As crossovers are very much the trend at present, it only makes sense for Hyundai to add such a product to the i20 line-up. Although the only practical benefit of the Active's crossover pitch appears to be a ride height that's 20mm higher than normal, you do also get a more individualistic look. Based on other brands' success stories with similar vehicles, we can see this going down well in the local market.

The Active gets all the usual SUV-addenda, including roof rails, wheel arch linings and front and rear "skid plates" to make it look ready for the urban jungle. It also gets a very different grille/front foglight treatment and inside there is a far more youthful blue/red colour theme. Standard specification is generous on this model and includes; automatic air-conditioning, infotainment system (navigation optional), auto lights, leather steering wheel/gearknob, rear park assist, projection headlamps with LED DRL, different alloy wheel finish, height-adjustable driver's seat and electric windows all-round. It still appears a bit light on safety specification, with only dual front airbags and ABS/EBD appearing on the features list. We'd have liked to see ESP (electronic stability control) included, too.

Other models
The rest of the line-up remains much the same, but there are some specification tweaks. The entry-level 1.2 Motion derivative has gained an infotainment system, while the slightly dearer Fluid gets that and adds a centre armrest and rear park assist. The 1.4 Motion Auto also gets an infotainment system, while the 1.4 Fluid Auto further adds auto lights, a centre armrest, leather steering wheel/gearknob and LED daylight running lights. The 1.4 Fluid manual's specification is similarly beefed up.

Model range and Pricing
i20 1.2 Motion MT - R229 900

i20 1.2 Fluid MT - R241 900

i20 1.4 Motion AT - R254 900

i20 1.4 Fluid AT - R284 900

i20 1.4 Fluid MT - R266 900

i20 1.4 Active MT - R279 900

All derivatives are sold inclusive of Hyundai's excellent 5-years/150 000 km warranty (and addition 2-years/50 000km powertrain warranty), while 1.2L derivatives come with a 2-years/30 000km service plan, extended to 3-years/60 000km for 1.4L offerings. Roadside assistance is also part of the deal, for 5-years/150 000km.
