Hyundai has tasted quite a bit of success with the launch of the Elite i20 in India and has now introduced a crossover based on this hatchback. The i20 Active is one amongst the horde of compact crossovers and SUVs in the Indian market. With the launch of this crossover, Hyundai plans to increase their market share and improve the domestic volumes.
The crossover is based on the current Elite i20 which is the second generation version of the i20 in India. It shares the same platform but gets additional features making it look meatier and muscular in appearance. Technically, this new model remains mostly similar like its sibling hatchback, but it gets a better ground clearance of 190mm. However, it looks much sportier from inside and out, thanks to the sporty cosmetics all around. This vehicle gets black colored claddings and moldings on all its facets along with metallic nudge guard that enhances its rugged appeal. At the same time, it also gets styling factors like projector headlamps, LED DRLs and diamond cut alloy wheels, along with a pair of aluminum roof rails, which are more than enough to enhance its sporty appeal. In a bid to lure the young auto enthusiasts, alloy wheels are offered as standard elements.
Only the entry level variant comes with 15 inches alloy wheels with 185/65R15 tyres. All the remaining variants of the car come with Alloy Wheels and 195/55R16 tyres.
