Hyundai Motor is preparing the fourth generation of its popular premium hatchback i20, which is going to be launched later this year. The recently released teaser image shows the front end of the new i20, which looks quite sportier and modern. The new car has been provided with Y-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs), which look like the Lamborghini Revello. The combination of full-width LED bar and rectangular headlamps makes it premium and attractive.

Spotted on test mules many times before, this car has adopted angular design language, which looks bolder and boxier than the current model. It is expected that the sub-4 meter length will be maintained in India so that tax benefits can be availed. The new i20 has been designed keeping in mind the preferences of young customers, which has a perfect combination of sportiness and practicality.
