The fourth-generation Hyundai i20 has leaked in full ahead of its official unveiling at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Hyundai serves as an official partner.

If it reaches Indian shores, the new i20 will arrive with a radically different design philosophy and a stronger focus on technology than any of its predecessors.
