What is the Hyundai i20?

The Hyundai i20 is a type of car known as a "supermini" or "subcompact car." This means it's a smaller car, perfect for driving in cities and for people who need a car that's easy to park. It's often chosen by families or young drivers because it's reliable and doesn't use too much fuel.

Generations of the i20

The Hyundai i20 has changed and improved over the years. Car companies often update their models, creating new "generations." Each new generation usually has a fresh look, new technology, and better features.

First Generation (2008-2014): This was the original i20. It came out in 2008 and was a big step up from the Getz. It was available as a 3-door or 5-door hatchback.
Second Generation (2014-2020): This version had a more modern design and improved safety features. It continued to be a popular choice for many drivers.
Third Generation (2020-present): The newest i20 has an even more stylish look and lots of new technology inside. It's designed to be comfortable and fun to drive.

Different Styles of the i20

The i20 comes in a few different styles to suit various needs:

Hatchback: This is the most common style, with a back door that swings upwards. It's great for carrying groceries or sports gear.
Coupe: Some versions of the i20 have been made as a "coupe." This usually means it has two doors and a sportier look.
Active: The i20 Active is a version that looks a bit like an SUV. It has a slightly higher ride height and rugged styling, making it good for light adventures.
N Line: The N Line models have a sporty design inspired by Hyundai's high-performance cars. They look fast and exciting.
i20 N: This is a very special, high-performance version of the i20. The "N" stands for Namyang, Hyundai's research and development center, and the Nürburgring, a famous race track. The i20 N is built for speed and exciting driving, similar to a race car for the road.
