Dramatically different from the five-door i20 hatch (Elite i20)
Hyundai has revealed the 3-door i20 coupe based on the second gen i20 (our Elite i20), will go on sale next year in Europe. Hyundai says, for the first time 3-door version vaguely similar to the 5-door hatch, has its own road presence and will attract younger buyers. As we don't have market for 3-door hatchbacks, Hyundai India will not launch this in the country.
Speaking of the changes, compared to the i20 5-door hatch, the coupe offers a sportier front bumper featuring a larger reverse hexagonal grille. The coupe rides on a 17-inch - 205/45R17 radials featuring bolder wheel arches. On the inside, dashboard is borrowed from the hatch but offers a new orange shade color palette to compliment the new exterior color Tangerine Orange (existing i20 5-door hatch color palettes are also available - interiors color palettes are not offered in India).
