Hyundai i20 models

“Made in India and Made for the world.” Hyundai Motor India (HMIL), the country’s second largest car manufacturer and the largest passenger car exporter, today announced that its premium compact hatchback i20 has achieved 1 million units in global sales (including i20, Elite i20, and i20 Active). According to the manufacturer, the i20 is the most awarded car in the Indian automobile landscape, winning as many as 34 awards since its launch.

The premium Elite i20 was nominated and then won the award for the Indian Car of the Year in 2015. After winning this prestigious award the i20 became a true expression of Hyundai’s commitment in becoming a modern premium brand adding cheerful moments to its customers. HMIL is the largest exporter of passenger cars and the second largest car manufacturer in India. It is currently producing ten models viz., the Eon, i10, Grand i10, Elite i20, Active i20, Xcent, Verna, Creta, Elantra and Santa Fe. It currently exports to around 92 countries across Africa, Middle East, Latin America, Australia and the Asia Pacific. HMIL has been the number one exporter from India for the last 10 years consecutively. HMIL currently has 451 dealers and more than 1,170 service points across India to support growth and expansion of the company. However, there are several rivals in the markets, Maruti Suzuki Baleno being one of those which is giving the Elite i20 quite a challenge. But the Baleno has a longer waiting period, so buyers go for the Elite i20.

Commenting on all the achievements, Y.K. Koo, MD & CEO, Hyundai Motor India, said, “Reaching this historic mark is a testament to Hyundai i20’s staying power and the global appeal of a vehicle that delivers sporty design, functionality, and class-leading performance. We are extremely delighted that i20 models have achieved this milestone of 1 million global sales and met the aspirations of Indian and Global customers. Hyundai is Modern Premium brand that offers quality, innovation and value for money with awards winning cutting-edge technology, styling, and performance. Hyundai is committed towards fulfilling the customers’ aspirations and will continue to evolve its products as per the ever changing market trends.”

In 2008 the i20 was launched in India with its acclaimed ‘Fluidic sculpture’ design. Since its introduction, the i20, rather than offering a premium compact category, has offered a sporty, dynamic and innovative driving experience to customers in India and overseas. The original i20 that was launched in 2008 was indeed a curvy car but had no rough edges. After an overhaul, the new car got a completely different look. Some features that were added to the car were a new set of taillamps, tweaked bumpers and new headlamps with daytime running lights (DRL) that attracted the buyers towards the car in such a manner that, till date, the i20 models remain the top selling cars in the markets.
