Hyundai i20 Blue delivers British customers with 37 kmpl!

The refreshed Hyundai i20 was first shown at Geneva last month. A few weeks back, India was the first launch pad for the Fluidic i20, though in a muted fashion.

Now, the Fluidic i20 heads to Great Britain for a starting price tag of £9,995 (INR 8 lakhs). Point to be noted, this is not a next generation i20 but a comprehensive facelift for the i20 to bring it at par with the rest of family design. Hyundai offers the 3-door model on the entry level petrol variants and the 1.4-liter diesel in a high spec variant. These are complemented by the 1.4-liter petrol with paired to an automatic transmission.

The most interesting bit is the Blue variant which is powered by a new 1.1-litre “U-ll” three-cylinder diesel engine generates 75 PS and comes with with Intelligent Stop and Go and low rolling resistance tires. The outcome is a whopping 37 kmpl!
