Korea's leading automaker Hyundai has launched two new variants of its popular hatchback car i20 - 1.2-litre Asta (O) CVT and 1.0 Sportz DCT. The Hyundai i20 1.2-litre Asta (O) CVT is priced at Rs 10.51 lakh. While the Sportz DCT model costs Rs 9.76 lakh. Not just the new variants, Hyundai has also updated the feature list of the new i20 hatchback.

Earlier the Hyundai i20 Asta (O) trim was offered only in the manual variant. Whereas with the introduction of the new 1.2 Asta(O) CVT variant, the top-spec model is now offered with an automatic gearbox. Also, the DCT (Dual-clutch Transmission) automatic gearbox is now available with the lower spec Sportz variant. Earlier, the DCT was offered on the top-spec Asta trim. The new Sportz DCT variant is about 1.05 lakh cheaper than the 1.0 Asta DCT.

The sale of these trims will continue

Earlier it was reported that Hyundai will discontinue the top-spec 1.2 CVT Asta and 1.0 DCT Asta variants. However, the company's official website reveals that these variants are available for sale.

New features included

Hyundai has also updated the feature-list of the Sportz variant. It now gets automatic AC instead of manual AC. The Sportz DCT also comes with cruise control feature, which was earlier limited to the Asta (O) variant.

The i20 Asta trim also gets a single pan sunroof as standard. The electric sunroof was only offered on the 1.0 iMT Asta variant. However, these variants get a smaller 8-inch touchscreen instead of the 10.25-inch unit. Apart from this, Hyundai has also removed some connected car features. The top-spec Asta (O) now gets additional voice commands for the Blue Link system. The lower-spec Magna trim gets separate wheels with a gun metal shade.
