现代近日发布了2018款i20，新车增加了更多科技含量。新车可提供三种车身风格，包括五门掀背车、三门轿跑车和Active车型。其中五门掀背车和Active车型的改款幅度最大，采用了新的Cascading格栅，升级尾部的后保险杠和尾灯组，可选择15/16英寸轮圈，幻影黑双色车顶以及更多车身涂装选择。除了造型风格升级，技术升级也是一大看点。新车现在可提供新的七英寸信息娱乐系统，可兼容苹果CarPlay和安卓Auto，中控台增加新的USB接口，同时增加更多安全配置。包括最新的现代SmartSense安全技术，包括车道偏离警示，车道保持辅助，前方防撞预警，驾驶员注意力警示以及远光灯辅助。当然，绝大多数新增的安全设备是需要另外加钱购买的。动力系统方面，所有车型都标配1.0升涡轮引擎，搭配标配的五速手动变速箱，功率74千瓦/100马力。如果搭配六速手动变速器，引擎功率提升至88千瓦/118马力，消费者还可选装首次提供的七速双离合器变速器。I20轿跑车和Active车型还可搭载更大的1.2升引擎，搭配五速手动变速器，功率55千瓦/73马力或62千瓦/83马力。顶级款搭载的1.4升四缸引擎，搭配六速手动变速器，功率74千瓦/100马力。所有车型都配备了新的停启系统。目前还不清楚218款i20上市时间和售价，但预计新车将于未来几个月在欧洲上市，据传i20 N高性能版也将加入i20家族。
Hyundai i20 Updated With New Corporate Grille, More Tech
With a fresh new face and some added tech, the Hyundai i20 has been thoroughly revamped for the 2018 model year.
Three body styles will be available on the new model, including five-door, three-door coupe, and Active trims. The five-door and Active models see the most revisions, gaining the new Cascading grille, updated rear styling to both the bumpers and taillights, new 15- and 16-inch wheel options, a Phantom Black two-tone roof, and more colors. Apart from styling, technology was a big area of focus for Hyundai engineers in the redesign. The i20 now offers a new seven-inch infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity – the first time ever the tech has been offered on this vehicle. There’s also a new USB charger on the center console, and plenty of newfound safety.
The i20 now features the newest Hyudai SmartSense safety technology, including things like lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision avoidance, driver attention warning, and even high-beam assist. Most of this added safety equipment comes at an extra cost, of course.
All trim levels, from coupe to Active, come with a standard 1.0-liter turbocharged engine. Paired to the standard five-speed manual transmission, that engine produces 100 horsepower (74 kilowatts). When optioned with the six-speed manual, that same engine now produces 118 horsepower (88 kilowatts). Buyers can also opt for a first-ever seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. A larger 1.2-liter engine, available on the coupe and Active trims, comes paired to a five-speed manual, with an output of either 73 (55 kW) or 83 hp (62 kW). At the top of the range, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, paired to a six-speed manual transmission exclusively, produces 100 hp (74 kW). All three versions of the i20 will come with a new stop-start feature as well.
It’s unclear when the new i20 will go on sale, or how much it might cost when it does. But expect to see the new subcompact in Hyundai dealers in Europe in just a few months. A hotted-up i20 N is also rumored to join the lineup.
