2023 Hyundai i20 Sportz CVT Variant Explained In 5 Images

The Sportz variant of the updated Hyundai i20 comes with both manual and CVT automatic transmission options

The Hyundai i20 has recently undergone a minor design makeover, and its powertrain options have also been altered. The updated i20 is available in five broad variants - Era, Magna, Sportz, Asta and Asta(O). Here, we will explore what the mid-spec Sportz CVT trim of the premium hatchback has to offer, as it is the entry-level option for the automatic transmission. It is priced at Rs 9.38 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). 

The front of the i20 Sportz closely resembles its higher-specced variants, featuring a parametric jewel pattern grille and a prominent skid plate. But it still gets a halogen headlight setup, and the LED DRLs are mounted near the air curtains on the bumper. On higher-specced Asta and Asta (O) variants, you get LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs.

Moving along the profile, it gets body-coloured door handles and ORVMs, with side indicators on the outside mirrors. It comes with stylised 16-inch steel wheels, unlike the diamond cut alloy wheels offered with the top-spec Asta and Asta (O) variants. Also,  if you opt for a dual-tone version of this Sportz trim, the ORVMs will be blacked out. The monotone versions of top-spec i20 also get chrome finished door handles.

At the rear, this i20 Sportz model comes with Z-shaped LED tail lamps which are connected by a chrome garnish, silver skid plate on the rear bumper, and a shark fin antenna. It also gets a rear defogger, but misses out on rear wiper and washer. Apart from these, it looks similar to the better-equipped versions of the i20.

Inside, the i20 Sportz comes with a dual-tone black and grey cabin and fabric seat upholstery. It also gets adjustable front headrests, and the driver’s seat can be adjusted for height. In terms of features, this variant of the i20 comes with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system which supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a semi-digital driver's display, automatic AC, cruise control, Type-C USB charger at the front, and powered ORVMs. But instead of a premium 7-speaker Bose sound system, it gets a basic 4-speaker audio system with 2 tweeters.

The mid-spec Sportz variant of the i20 also comes with amenities like rear AC vents and a cooled glove box. A Type-C USB port has been provided for rear passengers as well. In terms of safety, it is equipped with six airbags (as standard), ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

The Hyundai i20 facelift only comes with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (83PS/115Nm) only. In the mid-spec Sportz variant, it is mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic. For the CVT models, the power output increases to 88PS, and it also gets ‘Normal’ and ‘Sports’ driving modes.
