Autocar India reports that Hyundai Motor

as standard on both, i20 and i20 Active, shortly. ABS will not be available on
base Era and Magna variants as usual.
The 2016 Hyundai i20 will reportedly be
offered in five variants with the Sportz (O) discontinued. The top-end i20 Asta

are already offered on the European version and the India-spec Hyundai i20
Active. The said version will also be equipped with 16-inch diamond-cut alloy

Volkswagen Polo and Fiat Punto Evo, the 2016 Hyundai i20 is said to hit
showrooms in the coming weeks.
