The Euro6 emissions-compliant engine line-up brings even better drivability, with lower fuel consumption and emissions.

To uphold New ix20’s class competitiveness, a new six-speed automatic transmission, as well as power and torque upgrades to the overall Euro6 emissions-compliant engine line-up brings even better drivability, with lower fuel consumption and emissions. The two diesel engines have been enhanced to provide more torque – 240 Nm (1.4-litre) and 260 Nm (1.6-litre) – from just 1500 rpm (1.4 CRDi (77 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 4.4 - 4.2 l/100 km, urban: 5.2 - 4.9 l/100 km, extra-urban: 3.9 - 3.8 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 115 - 110 g/km; 1.4 CRDi (90 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 4.4 - 4.2 l/100 km, urban: 5.2 - 4.9 l/100 km, extra-urban: 3.9 - 3.8 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 115 - 110 g/km; 1.4 CRDi (115 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 4.5 - 4.4 l/100 km, urban: 5.5 - 5.1 l/100 km, extra-urban: 4.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 120 - 115 g/km; 1.4 CRDi (128 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 4.5 - 4.4 l/100 km, urban: 5.5 - 5.1 l/100 km, extra-urban: 4.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 120 - 115 g/km*).

The Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) 1,4- and 1,6-litre gasoline Hyundai ‘Gamma’ family units have both had efficiency boosted, with the 1,6-litre now available with a six-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous four-speed unit and delivering improved real-world fuel economy (1.4 MPI (90 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 6.2 - 5.6 l/100 km, urban: 7.5 - 6.6 l/100 km,  extra-urban: 5.5 – 5.1 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 148 - 130 g/km; 1.6 MPI (125 PS): Fuel consumption combined: 6.5 – 5.9 l/100 km, urban: 8.6 – 7.1 l/100 km,  extra-urban: 5.7 – 5.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 150 - 139 g/km*).

All engines have been enhanced to offer improved driveability and fuel efficiency, as well as meeting Euro6 emission standards.

Fuel Saving Technologies

To optimise its environmental performance, New ix20 BlueDrive features Integrated Stop & Go (ISG), low rolling-resistance tyres, an alternator management system (AMS) and a drag-reducing ‘active air flap’ in the front grille.

The ix20 has not only attracted almost 200.000 customers in Europe but also won numerous awards during its first five years on sale, including the prestigious ‘Family Car of the Year‘ award in Belgium and ‘Best Supermini MPV‘ at the UK’s Auto Express awards. Like all new Hyundai models, the New ix20 is backed by Hyundai’s unique, Europe-only, Five Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty package. Production of the New ix20 begins in May 2015 at Hyundai’s European plant in Nošovice, Czech Republic.
