Hyundai
has unveiled the 2016 HB20 hatchback for Brazilian markets on September 21. The
car is available in four trims – Comfort, Comfort Plus, Comfort Style and the
top-spec Premium.
Sales
of the hatch will commence on October 10, and prices have not yet been
disclosed. It features major changes up front, where it gets a new hexagonal
grille outlined in chrome, a redesigned bumper housing small fog lamps with
chrome surrounds.
The
top-spec variant comes with projector headlights and LED DRLs while the lower
variants will get conventional headlights. The sides get new wheel designs,
while the rear features a redesigned bumper and revised tail light cluster.
Inside,
the new HB20 offers a new Dark Brown color and improved sound insulation. The
dashboard houses a new 7.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system with support for
Apple, Samsung and LG devices.
The
In Car Link function can be used to access applications such as Google Maps,
Waze, Spotify and Deezer among others. Other new features include two side
airbags in addition to the dual front airbags, and automatic climate control.
Under
the hood, it continues to offer the same 1.0-litre flex-fuel producing 80 hp
and the 1.6-litre unit rated at 128 hp. The only significant mechanical change
is the new 6-speed automatic, which replaces the 5-speed manual and 4-speed
automatic units offered in the 1.6-litre variant.
