About the Hyundai HB20 BR2

While it shares its platform with the global i20, the HB20 features a unique design and a suspension setup tuned for the challenging road conditions of South America. The entry-level 1.0-litre naturally aspirated Kappa engine is a flex-fuel unit, capable of running on both petrol and ethanol, a staple of the Brazilian automotive landscape. It remains one of the most popular vehicles in the region, praised for its reliability, modern interior, and five-year warranty.
