Hyundai is expected to offer the new-gen i20 with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine with 48V mild-hybrid technology paired to a six-speed iMT (intelligent Manual Transmission). This helps reduce the fuel-consumption by cutting off the engine and going to ‘Costing Mode' when the driver lifts the foot of the gas-pedal.
