Hyundai i20 PB / PBT Phase 2 2012 - 2014

The Hyundai i20 is a versatile urban hatchback launched in 2008, which has become over its generations an essential player in the affordable small cars segment in Europe. Since its creation, the Hyundai i20 model has experienced four distinct generations that have shaped its evolution: the first generation (2008-2014) laid the foundations with functional design and excellent equipment-to-price ratio, followed by a second generation (2014-2019) marked by a notable stylistic facelift and improved perceived quality, while the third generation (2020-2023) adopted more modern and assertive design language before the current fourth generation continues this modernization with reinforced onboard technologies and hybrid powertrains. Positioned between compact urban vehicles such as the Peugeot 208 and Volkswagen Polo, the Hyundai i20 story reflects the South Korean brand's strategy: offering reliable, well-equipped and intelligently priced cars to win over demanding European customers. The Hyundai i20 technical specifications gradually enriched with gasoline and diesel engine options in earlier generations, now complemented by mild hybrid (HEV) and electrified variants, while maintaining controlled fuel consumption and a compact footprint ideal for urban driving. Today, the i20 asserts itself as a mainstream city car reference in its segment, seducing motorists seeking practicality, proven manufacturer reliability and competitive value for money.
