Hyundai Bayon, New i20 Show Updated Designs During Testing
Hyundai is testing two updated cars: the Bayon SUV and the i20 hatchback.
Photos show that both cars may receive new styling and improved interiors.
The Bayon could get a large curved screen like the one used in some Venue models.
Its cabin may also have two-tone colors and a special pattern on the steering wheel.
The Bayon may use a new 1.5-litre petrol engine.
It could also be available with a CNG option.
The i20 may get leather seats, more storage and connected rear lights.
The i20 is expected to continue using its existing petrol engines, with the turbo engine reserved for the sportier N Line version.
The Hyundai Bayon was spotted testing with revised interior and exterior details.
The Bayon may receive a curved display, dual-tone cabin and updated steering wheel.
The Bayon is expected to use a 115hp 1.5-litre petrol engine with manual, CVT and CNG options.
A new-generation Hyundai i20 test mule showed leather seats, an armrest and twin cupholders.
The i20 is expected to retain its 1.2-litre petrol engine, while the 1.0-litre turbo may remain exclusive to the N Line variant.
