Hyundai i20 1.4 petrol AT (India)
The Hyundai i20 1.4 petrol automatic
variant is now available for sale across dealerships from today. It is priced
at INR 9.02 Lakhs (INR 9,01,812, ex-showroom Delhi), and will only be sold in
the Magna grade.
The automatic variant is powered by a
bigger 1.4-liter Dual VTVT four-cylinder petrol that produces 100 PS at 6,000
rpm and 13.5 kgm of torque at 4,000 rpm. It is mated to a 4-speed torque
converter, making it the only hatchback in its segment to offer the
conventional automatic gearbox.
The i20 automatic is only available
in the Magna grade, it misses out on features like ABS and EBD, alloy wheels,
projector headlights, keyless entry, rear parking camera and sensors,
touchscreen entertainment system and automatic climate control. Some of the
noteworthy features available in the Magna grade include dual front airbags,
rear HVAC vents, chilled glovebox, and 2 DIN audio system with Bluetooth and 1
GB storage.
The Hyundai i20 petrol AT is priced
higher than its closest rivals: the Honda Jazz CVT and Maruti Baleno CVT. The expensive price tag can be attributed to the larger displacement
engine, due to which the i20 AT is not classified as a ‘small car’ and the
corresponding excise duty increases from 12.5 percent to 24 percent.
