The turbo petrol variant of the Hyundai i20 currently only gets a Dual Clutch (DCT) transmission.
-
The 1.2 liter NA petrol and 1.5 liter diesel variants remain unchanged.
-
The i20 N Line will continue to be equipped with the 1-litre Turbo petrol engine with iMT and DCT options.
-
Retail prices for the i20 start at Rs 71,800 and turbo petrol from Rs 101,100 (ex-showroom).
Hyundai has retuned the turbo petrol version of its premium hatchback i20. The clutchless manual transmission (iMT) has been discontinued and turbo petrol is only available in the dual clutch automatic (DCT). The DCT is the sportier transmission, while the iMT was a budget option, something between a stick-shift and a fully automatic transmission.
Hyundai i20 variants and specs
The i20 continues to offer three engine options: the base specification 1.2 liter naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, a 1 liter turbo petrol engine and a 1.5 liter diesel unit. Even with fewer transmission options, there are still four transmissions available, including two different manuals.
The base engine is a 5-speed manual (MT) as standard and an iVT (CVT) automatic as an option. The diesel unit has a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the turbo petrol engine has only a 7-speed DCT.

The iMT wasn’t about shifting speed or convenience, but it did help bring down the price of the avid turbo petrol model. His entry-level iMT Turbo petrol model cost him Rs 8.88 lakh before being discontinued. However, the DCT variant, currently priced from Rs 10.11 lakh, makes him less turbo petrol available than the iMT by Rs 1.23 lakh.

Hyundai has not retuned the i20 N line variant and here are the prices regarding its drivetrain.

1 liter turbo petrol iMT |
Rs 10.16 lakh to Rs 11.19 lakh |
|
1 liter turbo gasoline DCT |
Rs 12.12 Rough |
Excluding the price of the dual tone variant
Pricing for the i20 N Line base variant with iMT is about the same as the entry-level turbo petrol model of the standard i20 hatchback. If you don’t mind paddling your own gear, the clutchless manual N line offers a racier aesthetic, a sportier suspension setup and a stinking exhaust note than the standard i20.
The Hyundai i20 will take on the Maruti Baleno, Toyota Granza and Tata Altros.
