Looking to buy a premium hatchback with an automatic gearbox? You might just be in luck. Hyundai has slashed the prices of its i20 automatic variants by up to ₹58,000, making the stylish hatchback a whole lot more tempting than before.
And no, this isn’t some limited-time festival deal — it’s a proper price revision.
A Much-Needed Price Drop
Let’s be honest: the i20 automatic has always been a bit pricey compared to its rivals. But now? It’s playing a different game. Hyundai has adjusted the prices across its IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission) lineup, making the automatic option more accessible to the average buyer.
Here’s how the new prices look:
| Variant | Old Price (Ex-Showroom) | New Price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magna IVT | ₹8.84 lakh | ₹8.26 lakh | ₹58,000 ↓ |
| Sportz IVT | ₹9.28 lakh | ₹8.70 lakh | ₹58,000 ↓ |
| Asta IVT | ₹10.04 lakh | ₹9.46 lakh | ₹58,000 ↓ |
So yes — you can now get an i20 automatic for under ₹8.3 lakh.
What Do You Get for That Money?
If you’re wondering whether Hyundai has removed any features to justify the cut — the answer is nope. You still get the same smooth 1.2L petrol engine paired with a CVT gearbox, which is perfect for daily city driving. It’s not the fastest car out there, but it’s buttery smooth and super comfortable.
And the features? Well, Hyundai doesn’t hold back:
- Touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- LED DRLs and projector headlamps (depending on variant)
- Dual-tone interiors with a premium feel
- Good safety kit — dual airbags standard, more on higher trims
- Decent boot space and rear legroom
The Asta IVT even throws in a sunroof, wireless charging, and other premium touches.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
Hyundai’s decision likely comes in response to growing pressure from cars like the Maruti Baleno, Tata Altroz, and Toyota Glanza, which have all seen increased interest lately — especially in automatic form.
Here’s a quick price comparison:
| Car | Automatic Price Start | Gearbox Type |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai i20 | ₹8.26 lakh | IVT (CVT) |
| Maruti Baleno | ₹8.38 lakh | AMT |
| Tata Altroz | ₹8.55 lakh | DCA |
| Toyota Glanza | ₹8.40 lakh | AMT |
While some of these are cheaper overall, most use AMTs, which are often less refined than Hyundai’s CVT. So if smoothness is your top priority, the i20 just became even more appealing.
Why the Price Cut?
There’s no official word from Hyundai, but a few reasons make sense:
- Boost demand in a tough market
- Compete more directly with Baleno and Altroz
- Drive up sales for automatic variants, which lag behind manuals in India
- Possibly clear stock before a mid-cycle refresh or update
Whatever the reason, it’s good news for buyers.
