Last week, Hyundai dropped the first official photos of the all-new i20 supermini but none of those images showed the interior – bar one design sketch.
The Korean automaker has now fixed that by releasing the first interior image of the 2020 Hyundai i20, revealing a more high-tech ambience compared to the previous-generation model.
You can’t (and shouldn’t) judge an interior by a picture and neither are we jumping into any conclusions, but we have to say, that at a first glance, this dark colored dashboard and / or the way it was shot, gives out a cheap, hard plastic vibe. For all we know, it might be soft-to-the touch everywhere, but we thought we’d point it out.
As with most new cars nowadays, the dashboard is dominated by two large digital screens. There’s a 10.25-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and a 10.25-inch center touchscreen positioned atop the center console.

The digital instrument panel changes color based on the selected drive mode: blue for Normal, green for Eco, and orange for Sport. Further to the right, the AVN (audio/video/navigation) touchscreen integrates a range of new connectivity features never before seen in the i20, including Hyundai Bluelink Telematics.
Hyundai LIVE services are among these and include real-time traffic and weather data, information about nearby fuel stations (including fuel prices) and parking spaces, and online voice recognition. Other Bluelink services offered by the new i20 include Find My Car, remote lock services, navigation to local points of interest, vehicle alarm information, and maintenance reports.
The infotainment system is fully compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, the latter available wirelessly in combination with the 8-inch Display Audio. A wireless charging pad and eight-speaker Bose sound system are available as well.
Design-wise, the all-new Hyundai i20’s cabin is available with three different interior trims: Black, Mono and Black & Grey. Ambient lighting technology is also present and the air vents are connected with horizontal blades stretching across the whole dashboard. We can also spot a new multifunction steering wheel very similar to the one of the new Sonata and door cards “inspired by shapes found in nature.”
The all-new Hyundai i20 will have its official debut on March 3 at the Geneva Motor Show.
