Replacing the current Euro-market Getz, the i20 is built on an entirely new platform and features a longer wheelbase than its predecessor's, a more spacious and better packaged interior, and improvements in standard equipment and fuel economy. The i20 has been designed primarily for the European market, where it will compete with the likes of the popular Ford  Fiesta. Because of this, Hyundai currently has no plans to bring the car to the U.S., although with the automaker now saying the smaller i10 won't make its way to American shores, the slightly bigger i20 may make sense in the suddenly fuel-conscious U.S. market.
The i20 will likely retain the Getz's engine options, a 1.1L gas engine that makes 65 hp, a 1.4L gas engine making 96 hp, and a 1.6L gas engine making 105 hp. In addition to the base i20, Hyundai will also show special variant of the new i20 compact called the i20 i-Blue. The i-Blue sub-brand will feature extra fuel efficient and eco-friendly variants of European-market Hyundais to distinguish them from their siblings. The i20 i-Blue concept offers a handful of small, low-cost improvements designed to reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel economy, including changes to the front and rear aerodynamics, low rolling resistance tires, a 15mm reduction in ride height, and a new 1.4L CRDi diesel producing approximately 89-hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. Combined, these changes help the gas-sipping concept achieve an estimated 57 mpg, according to Hyundai. With the popularity of diesels in Europe, the i20 i-Blue is expected to do well
