Like the Alto, the Hyundai i20 made its debut in Paris. It's also a car that will
be produced in India and distributed to different parts of the globe. And it's also scheduled to be launched in India before years end.The i20 is expected to replace the Getz in Europe. However, in India, as has become the norm, we'll see both cars sold side-by¬side - at least initially. Hyundai will be hoping the i20 can emulate the success of its smaller sibling, the ilO, and make up for the somewhat limited sales of the Getz. It's a handsome small car with world-class levels of build quality and materials - as we've come to expect of Hyundai after the ilO.

It'll most likely come with a retuned and slightly more powerful version of the ilO'S 1.2 liter Kappa engine. It may also have a pairing of 1.4 liter petrol and diesel engines as well. On the whole, it looks like a great package and one that has its sights set squarely on Swift buyers - although, it's expected to be a little more expensive. Either way, it certainly appears as though the Hyundai and Maruti-Suzuki battle in going to get a lot more intense in the coming months.
