To start with, the new i20 facelift offers a set of new bumpers. The front bumper trades the fog lamps for a more angular air duct, which helps to cool the brakes more efficiently. The radiator grille also gets larger intakes and a more aggressive design than the outgoing model.

Around the side, the updated model comes with a choice of new 16-inch or 17-inch  alloy wheels. At the back, the new i20 facelift gets a new bumper with a faux silver skid plate and tweaked Z-shaped LED tail lights. Furthermore, the new i20 also offers 3 new colour options — lime green, grey and blue.
