In a statement released by the company, Hyundai said, “Designed at Hyundai Motor's Design Centre Europe in Russelsheim, Germany, i20 Active is scheduled to make an official global debut in the Indian market in the month of March 2015.”
Earlier this month, the company had launched the updated version of its mid-sized sedan 4S Verna priced in the range of INR7.73 – 12.19 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The car came with some considerable design upgrades and minor mechanical changes. Hyundai also redesigned the interiors apart from adding additional safety features like ABS as standard on all variants. As for the top trim petrol and diesel variants, they come with six airbags.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Rakesh Srivastava had said the company's “aspiration is to achieve the 5 lakh sales mark in the domestic market” and the updated Verna would play a significant role in achieving the milestone. In order to achieve the target, he stated HMIL has lined up a slew of products for this year, including models in new segment.
The i20 Active will be competing with the likes of Toyota Etios Cross and Fiat Avventura in the newly emerging premium hatchback-crossover segment in India.
