Extra special
Korean manufacturer Hyundai has released pricing and specification details for its new i20 Turbo Edition which goes on sale this month.
Designed, engineered and built in Europe, the i20 Turbo Edition will be priced from £12,975.
Hyundai claims there’s a growing trend for small capacity turbo petrol engines, and the special edition i20 Turbo features Hyundai’s efficient 100bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine with CO2 emissions of 104g/km which equates to 63mpg.
The newcomer to the i20 range comes with distinctive 16in alloy wheels and is available with a choice of six exterior colours - Polar White, Aqua Sparkling, Sleek Silver, Stardust Grey, Phantom Black and Red Passion, all with a special Black/Grey interior.
The Turbo edition is based on the well-specified i20 SE and the sporty new model comes with Bluetooth, DAB digital radio, cruise control with speed limiter, and a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio and phone controls as standard.
Additional to the SE the new upmarket i20 adds a rear view camera, automatic lights with dusk sensor, and satellite navigation via a seven-inch integrated touch screen.
With the satellite navigation upgrade the i20 Turbo Edition comes with a free seven-year TomTom Live Services subscription, which provides the most up to date traffic information, speed camera alerts, weather updates, and live point of interest notifications.
