Elite i20 Automatic now on Hyundai's website

Thank you to the Team-BHP fan Hillol Saha who sent this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts!

Hyundai India has listed the Elite i20 automatic on its official website, though prices of this new variant haven't yet been revealed. The Elite i20 automatic's brochure was leaked last week, revealing most of its specifications. It will be offered only with a petrol engine option, and will be available in the mid-level Magna trim. The Korean automaker is expected to announce prices of the Elite i20 AT in a couple of weeks.

The old i20 was offered with an automatic transmission in its previous iteration, but with the launch of the Elite i20, the slushbox was dropped from the spec sheet. But with rising demand for ATs, Hyundai too has brought back the convenience of an automatic gearbox in the Elite i20.

The AT variant will be powered by a 1.4-litre, Dual VTVT petrol engine, which is mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. This powertrain is capable of generating 98 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 132 Nm @ 4,000 rpm.

Since it will only be offered in the Magna trim, the Elite i20 AT will miss many features like ABS, reverse parking sensors, front fog lamps, auto headlamps, touchscreen infotainment system, smart key, projector lights, and DRLs.
