Magna Rs 6.80 lakh Sigma Rs 5.64 lakh XE Rs 5.44 lakh G Rs 7.01 lakh V Rs 7.50 lakh Trendline Rs 5.87 lakh
Sportz Rs 7.60 lakh Delta Rs 6. 45 lakh XM Rs 6.30 lakh G mild hybrid Rs 7.48 lakh VX Rs 8.10 lakh Comfortline Rs 6.82 lakh
Asta Rs 8.70 lakh Delta Smart Hybrid Rs 7. 33 lakh XT Rs 6.99 lakh V Rs 7.64 lakh ZX Rs 8.74 lakh
Asta(O) Rs 9.20 lakh Zeta Rs 7.01 lakh XZ Rs 7.59 lakh
Zeta Smart Hybrid Rs 7.90 lakh XZ(O) Rs 7.75 lakh
Alpha Rs 7.64 lakh

All six premium hatchbacks come with a naturally aspirated petrol engine option paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. From the table, it’s clear that the Altroz and Baleno are among the most affordable models here while the Jazz and i20 sit on the higher side of the segment.

It should be noted that the Baleno and its badge-engineered sibling, the Glanza, are unique as they get mild-hybrid options as well. The mild-hybrid engine option on the Baleno is only available with the mid-spec variants and cost about Rs 90,000 more than their respective non-hybrid. Meanwhile, the mild-hybrid Glanza costs Rs 47,000 more than the equivalent standard variant.

Variant Price Variant Price Variant Price Variant Price
Sportz CVT Rs 8.60 lakh Delta CVT Rs 7.77 lakh G CVT Rs 8.33 lakh V CVT Rs 8.50 lakh
Asta CVT Rs 9.70 lakh Zeta CVT Rs 8.33 lakh V CVT Rs 8.96 lakh VX CVT Rs 9.10 lakh
Alpha CVT Rs 8.96 lakh ZX CVT Rs 9.74 lakh

When comparing the petrol automatic versions, the i20 still comes across as expensive, but by a much smaller margin. The Baleno and the Glanza, are still the model of choice for the price conscious. The Jazz automatic is a close second on the price charts; the top-spec version is about Rs 4,000 more than the range-topping i20 petrol-CVT, though Hyundai does not offer the CVT with the Asta(O) trim.

While the Altroz is set to get a dual-clutch automatic unit in the future, the naturally aspirated Polo 1.0 is expected to remain a manual-only model.

2020 Hyundai i20 turbo petrol prices vs rivals

Asta DCT Rs 10.67 lakh GT TSI Rs 9.67 lakh
Asta(O) DCT Rs 11.18 lakh

The i20 turbo’s only rival comes in the form of the VW Polo 1.0 TSI. The i20 turbo in ‘clutch-less manual’ form costs Rs 72,000 more than the equivalent Polo TSI, while the dual-clutch automatic i20 turbo is priced at a whopping Rs 1.48 lakh more than the Polo TSI with the 6-speed torque convertor auto-box.

Tata and Hyundai are the only carmakers that still offer a diesel engine option with their respective premium hatchbacks. Here too, the Altroz is the more affordable option by a Rs 1.2 lakh margin to start. The top-spec i20 diesel costs over Rs 1.6 lakh more than the range-topping Altroz diesel.

2020 Hyundai i20 prices vs rivals: Conclusion

The 2020 Hyundai i20 does come across as expensive, irrespective of the engine and gearbox option. However, our close look report did state that the new i20 appears to be the all-rounder to beat. Time, a proper road test and an on-road comparison will tell if the premium you pay for the i20 over its rivals is worth it.
