The interior of the i20 facelift will remain largely unchanged, but there are some potential feature upgrades. These include the addition of a dual-dashcam, an updated digital instrument cluster and ADAS features.
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, and it includes features such as lane keeping assist and forward collision warning. If the i20 facelift is equip with ADAS, it will be the only hatchback in India to offer this feature.
The i20 facelift is expect to have the same engines and gearboxes as the current model. This means that it will be power by a 1.2-liter naturally aspirate petrol engine that produces 83 horsepower, and a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 120 horsepower.
