Hyundai India will launch the highly-anticipated i20 Active pseudo crossover in the country today.

The crossover features a new front fascia with projector headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, fog lamps, new grille and bumper. AT the back, the car has new bumper that accommodates new circular reflectors, roof spoiler, plastic claddings and new i20 Active badge. In order to offer a sporty character to the crossover, the car gets extra body cladding, skid plates, roof spoiler, new 16-inch alloy wheels and roof rails.
The car has a ground clearance of 190mm, which is around 20mm higher than the Elite i20 hatchback. It will come in two different interior colour options including Tangerine Orange & Black, Aqua Blue & Black.
The Hyundai i20 Active will be offered in both petrol and diesel fuel options. While the petrol unit is a 1.2-litre motor that produces 83PS of power and 114
