Dubbed as the Hyundai i20 Sport, the perky hatchback is powered by the car maker’s new turbocharged downsized petrol engine.

The power is pushed to the wheels by a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine is said to be very energetic for the i20 Sport and does 0-100 km/h in 10.3 seconds. While being frisky, the i20 also manages to do economical fuel figures as it comes armed with a direct injection tech on its small displacement engine. The claimed number stands at 20kmpl. The most powerful i20 of the town, 1.4-litre Hyundai i20 N Sport, is taken down by the new 1.0-litre i20 Sport.
