Hyundai has announced pricing and specifications of the 2016 i20 model range, which includes the i20 Active compact crossover and new 1.0-litre T-GDi engines.

The i20 Active costs from £15,225 OTR, and features unique bumpers, roof rails, a rear spoiler and a 20mm increased ride height over the standard i20.

Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, DAB radio and rear parking sensors.

The i20 Active is exclusively available with Hyundai’s new three-cylinder 1.0-litre T-GDi 100hp engine, which offers combined fuel economy of up to 58.9mpg and CO2 emissions of just 110g/km.

The 1.0-litre T-GDi engine also features across much of the i20 range, replacing the 1.4-litre 100hp in manual-equipped i20s.

With a price increase of £400 more than the outgoing engine, the 1.0-litre T-GDi offers fuel economy of up to 65.7mpg and just 99g/km.

Available in SE models and above, the 1.0-litre T-GDi 100hp models cost from £14,025 OTR.

Hyundai has also introduced a new 1.0 T-GDi 120hp model to i20 Premium and Coupe Sport versions and above – the most powerful engine in an i20 to date. Fuel economy is up to 58.9mpg combined. Prices start from £15,525 OTR.

Standard equipment on the i20 SE includes DAB radio and a fresh 15-inch alloy wheel design, rear parking sensors, cruise control, air conditioning and Bluetooth with voice recognition.

Premium Nav, Premium SE Nav and Coupe Sport Nav models now come with TomTom Live traffic services as standard.

The 2016 Hyundai i20 will be available in showrooms from 3 March 2016.
