Hyundai i20 Gets More Affordable With New Variant Priced At ₹5.99 Lakh

Hyundai has updated the 2026 i20 with the edition of a new base variant. Called i20 Era, this new trim is priced at ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom). With this update, Hyundai is able to position the i20 more competitively against its rivals like Maruti Suzuki Baleno (starting price ₹5.99 lakh, ex-showroom) and Tata Altroz (₹ 6.30 lakh).

The reintroduction of the Era trim has lowered the i20’s entry price by around Rs 74,000. At the same time, Hyundai has also revised prices of the Magna Executive and Magna trims. Both these variants are now priced at ₹6.73 lakh and ₹6.99 lakh (both ex-showroom), respectively, with a reduction of ₹13,000 each.

Commenting on this development, Sunil Moolchandani, National Sales Head, HMIL, said, “The Hyundai i20 has consistently redefined benchmarks in the premium hatchback segment with its progressive design, dynamic performance and advanced technology. With the new starting price of ₹5.99 lakh, we are making the i20 experience even more compelling, accessible and desirable for customers.”
