The automatic (AT) version of the Hyundai i20 has been launched which was showcased at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show 2016. This car is supposed to hit the Indian market soon, as it is being manufactured in our country and exported across the globe.

According to recent reports, the sales of automatic cars have doubled since the last year and that has led several carmakers to shift to gearless transmission as it is preferred by many people and is easy to maintain. The trend of the AT is there in almost all the segments (higher and lower) which has led to a massive boost in the sales of the gearless transmission. Maruti Suzuki, India's leading carmaker has planned to launch few of its cars with this technology and alongside, its competitor, Hyundai will also follow the same path and the i20, which is the manufacturer's highest selling car, in India will be a good start to adopt this AT technology.

Coming back to the mechanical aspect of the i20 automatic, this car will have a 1.4-litre, four-cylinder Gamma VTVT petrol engine that will produce 99.3PS of power and 130Nm of peak torque. The India-bound one will get a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine which will produce 83.3PS of power and 114Nm of torque mated to a four-speed AT gearbox that will be offered along with the five-speed manual one. However, the automatic transmission might be introduced in two variants of the i20, one being the top-end Astra.

As far as the pricing is concerned, this car might have a price tag that will be a bit more than the manual variant. Hence, the automatic i20 is expected to launch somewhere around the festive season this year.
