Hyundai i20 Facelift: What Recent Teaser Reveals?

The car has received several aesthetic alterations to both the front and rear, according to the recent teaser. The front bumper has two sizable arrow-shaped inlets on either side, and the LED headlamp setup has been improved in addition to the grille. Additionally, the chin appears wider due to the lower half's striking contrast black finish. The emblem has also been relocated from the grille to the base of the bonnet in a 2D style. At the rear, the vehicle's bumper now has a more prominent dual-tone finish. Further, the taillight boasts a few minor tweaks.

Further, the dual dashcam presently found on a number of Hyundai cars is anticipated to be available. In addition, the facelifted version may get ADAS features, similar to the Europe-based model.
