Interesting details emerging. The i20 is looking even better.

Good article.

The diesel is the low compresion, 85kw, from the i30 so as the i20 has a lighter body it should be similar to the i30 with the 115 kw diesel with is acceleration and power to the wheels.

Hopefully it will give the Mazda 2 a run for its money...

85kw is the high-output version of the 1.6l motor.  Should go like the clappers in a lighter car (even more so with a tunungbox).

The 2.0L crdi has 6spd already. The one I test drove had it, but I found it to be useless on the test (5th gear was quite adequate to keep some torque at hand)
