About the Hyundai i20 BC3
The third-generation Hyundai i20 (BC3) marked a significant shift for the brand's supermini, adopting the 'Sensuous Sportiness' design language with sharp creases and a distinctive rear light bar. This Premium trim features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system paired with a 1.0-litre T-GDi engine, designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Inside, it boasts a high-tech cabin with dual 10.25-inch screens, a major step up in quality and equipment for the segment. While not as sharp to drive as a Ford Fiesta, it offers a refined ride and a comprehensive suite of safety features usually reserved for larger cars.
