Hyundai i20 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2008–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation Hyundai i20 is a practical supermini offered in Mini 5-doors and Mini 3-doors body styles, with a range of petrol and diesel engines paired with manual or automatic transmissions.
The Hyundai i20 engine range focuses on everyday usability, with petrol and diesel options matched to manual or automatic gearboxes. For example, a 1.3-liter gasoline engine with a manual transmission suits straightforward driving, while a 1.4-liter diesel manual version appeals to those prioritizing fuel economy. A 1.4-liter gasoline automatic offers relaxed city cruising without clutch work. All examples drive the front wheels, contributing to predictable handling and efficient packaging.
