Those features are of i20 Era or Magna or any other model??
Hyundai does come with good options, and engineering as always, but aren’t they making all their models look alike?
A price tag that falls under Rs.5lakhs is really very competitive on the Indian market, and the new i20 iGen model has been released with a base price of Rs.4.73L, which has offered a positive edge to this model against its key rivals.
