Buoyed by the success of new-gen i20 in the Indian market, Hyundai is now planning to launch the crossover version of the hatchback in the Indian market. The company has, in fact, started testing the car on Indian roads and is planning to launch it in March or April 2015. Hyundai has been riding high on the success of the Elite i20 hatchback. Currently one of the most pricey hatchbacks, it managed to sell well over 10,000 units in February 2015; which is a very respectable number. Considering how popular the Elite i20 is, Hyundai is confident that they can convert a few potential customers towards the i20 Active. With heavy localization, the micro crossover would slot between Grand i10 Nios and the all-new i20 in the Indian portfolio. The car is likely to be here towards the end of 2021 or early 2022.

- Combines rugged design with space, style and quality of i20 five-door
- Highly efficient new 1.0-litre engine now available with all i20 models
- Hyundai Motor crossover and SUV range broadened to four models
At the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show, Hyundai Motor is introducing the New Hyundai i20 Active, a rugged compact crossover for customers with active lifestyles.
Further expanding the popular i20 range, the New i20 Active will go on sale in Europe from the beginning of 2016, joining the spacious, functional i20 five-door and the sporty, individual i20 Coupe. The car’s arrival also broadens Hyundai Motor’s European crossover and SUV offering to four models - alongside the All-New Tucson, New Santa Fe and New Grand Santa Fe – each new or enhanced in 2015.
“With the introduction of New i20 Active, we further diversify our offer in the B-segment with an attractive crossover model,” explains Thomas A. Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe. “In 2015, our entire crossover and SUV line-up has been renewed, as part of our youngest ever model range in Europe. And with the introduction of our 1.0-litre turbocharged engine, we further enhance our customer proposition in the European B-Segment.”
- Design
- New Hyundai i20 Active’s rugged crossover design enhances appeal and increases versatility
- Over half of exterior parts differ from standard i20 model
- Higher seating position adds to comfort and aids visibility
The distinctive and rugged crossover design of the i20 Active sets it apart from conventional B-segment models. While the new car is based on the i20 five-door – sharing its expansive space, comfort and quality – over 50% of the exterior parts are unique to this model.
To give the i20 Active a characteristic crossover stance, revised suspension settings elevate the body of the i20 Active by 20 mm compared to the i20 five-door. The seating position is also raised, placing the driver higher within the car. The result makes ingress and egress more comfortable, as well as offering superior visibility while driving.
Underlining the i20 Active’s adventurous appeal are the unique front and rear bumpers with integrated skid plates, which offer additional protection when driving away from public roads. Round fog lamps are integrated at the front and rear, with an exclusive rear spoiler adding to the i20 Active’s appeal.
The rugged appearance is further enhanced by bold side skirts and side cladding to complement the robust wheel-arch mouldings. Moving to the top of the car, a set of silver roof rails complement the crossover’s stance, adding essential practicality.
Other details that set i20 Active apart from its siblings include a reverse treatment of the signature Hyundai hexagonal grille in high-gloss black with chrome surroundings, a fuel cap cover in silver finish and newly designed 17-inch wheels.
The interior benefits from the superior space, comfort and quality of the i20 five-door, with greater ergonomics from the heightened driving position and further design enhancements. Unique metal pedals present a robust and high quality appearance, while Tangerine Orange interior color applications expand the personalization options. Also exclusive to the i20 Active is the Morning Blue exterior color, a distinctive option for those wanting a bespoke finish.
“The New i20 Active’s rugged design and crossover features target young urban customers with active lifestyles,” says Raf Van Nuffel, Head of Product Management at Hyundai Motor Europe. “The higher stance and the bespoke design enhancements express the car’s adventurous spirit without compromising the spaciousness and comfort of the i20 5-door version.”
- Engines
Hyundai I20 Crossover 2019
- New efficient 1.0-litre T-GDI engine introduced for all new i20 family
- Three-cylinder turbocharged direct injection engine with 100 PS and 120 PS
- First of the new generation in-house developed small petrol turbo-charged engines for Europe
Coinciding with the arrival of the i20 Active comes the introduction of a new engine for the i20 family. Focused on dynamic and efficient driving, the new Kappa 1.0-litre T-GDI three-cylinder turbocharged direct injection engine will be available across all i20 body types from the end of 2015.
The 1.0-litre T-GDI engine is available in two power outputs. The standard-power 100 PS version is tuned to maximize fuel economy and focuses on comfort, while the high-power 120 PS unit has been developed to facilitate more spirited driving without sacrificing efficiency.
“The new 1.0-litre T-GDI is a perfect fit for the i20 family,” states Dr. Michael Winkler, Head of Powertrain at Hyundai Motor’s European Technical Center in Rüsselsheim. “A downsized 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine with direct gasoline injection and a matched compact turbocharger with electrical wastegate actuator offers customers not only fuel economy but also driving pleasure.”
These new fuel efficient 1.0-litre T-GDI engines, which achieve up to 4.6 l/100 km* and CO2 emissions as low as 106 g/km* in the New i20 Active, are the first of the new generation of newly-developed small, turbocharged power plants tuned for Europe. Hyundai Motor’s European Technical Center in Germany played a key role in the engine’s research, development, engineering and testing, specifically for use on European roads.
The new engine features highly efficient combustion and dynamic performance to fulfill Hyundai Motor's dedication to implementing downsizing as a fuel saving technology. The standard 100 PS version and the high power 120 PS version both deliver a peak torque of 171.6 Nm at 1,500 rpm providing a perfect combination of dynamism and efficiency.
A turbo charger with electric waste gate actuator improves fuel efficiency by lowering pumping losses as well as improving throttle response and low-end torque. An optimized split-cooling concept for the cylinder head and block brings engine refinement by reducing friction.
To keep the engine unit as small as possible, the exhaust manifold is integrated within the cylinder head and can therefore be cooled efficiently using the cylinder head water cooling system. These efforts result in faster warm-up of the catalyst and ultimately, in improved real-world fuel consumption and emissions.
The i20 Active will also be available with a 1.4-litre Kappa engine. The 1,368 cc four-cylinder gasoline engine delivers 100 PS and 134.4 Nm of torque.
As an alternative to gasoline, 1.4-litre U II diesel engine comes as an option for the i20 Active, just as it does for the i20 five-door and i20 Coupe. This 90 PS diesel engine delivers fuel economy of up to 4.2 l/100 km* and CO2 emissions as low as 110 g/km*.
*Preliminary technical data
- Connectivity

- Four crossover and SUV models boost Hyundai Motor brand in Europe
- New Hyundai i20 Active adds to Hyundai Motor’s crossover SUV range
- All four new or enhanced in 2015, designed and developed in Europe
- B-segment is key to Hyundai Motor’s ongoing growth in the region
Hyundai Motor’s crossover and SUV range now consists of four models, each new or enhanced in 2015. New i20 Active accompanies the All-New Tucson, New Santa Fe and New Grand Santa Fe, continuing the brand’s strong tradition of producing SUVs for the European market.
Having sold more than one million SUVs since the launch of the Santa Fe in 2001, Hyundai Motor is well accustomed to European motorists’ appetite for rugged, capable and stylish cars. Expanding the SUV and crossover range into the growing B-segment is a strategic business decision that aims to contribute to 100,000 i20-family sales each year.
Like its siblings, the i20 Active has been designed and developed in Europe to cope with the demands of quality, refinement and reliability expected across the European market. The i20 Active will be produced alongside the i20 family at Hyundai Assan Otomotiv Sanayi (HAOS) plant in Izmit, Turkey.
