The projector headlamps and LED DRLs would be offered only on the top-spec, Asta (O) version of the 2016 Hyundai i20.

The 2016 Hyundai i20 will reportedly be offered in five variants with the Sportz (O) discontinued. The top-end i20 Asta (O) now receives projector headlamps with cornering lights and LED DRLs, which are already offered on the European version and the India-spec Hyundai i20 Active. The said version will also be equipped with 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and an Audio Video Navigation system with a 7.0-inch display.

There is no change in the powertrain lineup which has the 1.2-litre petrol engine with the five-speed manual gearbox, and the 1.4-litre diesel motor with the six-speed manual transmission.
