The popular Smart Electric Sunroof, once reserved for the higher-end variants of the i20, is now being offered in both the Magna and Sportz (O) variants. This addition significantly enhances the premium feel of these mid-level trims and is expected to attract younger buyers who see the sunroof as a desirable lifestyle feature. It's a strategic move by Hyundai to bring aspirational features to more affordable variants.
The Sportz (O) variant has received a substantial feature upgrade to bridge the gap between mid- and top-spec trims. Hyundai now equips this variant with a Smart Key with push-button start, a Bose Premium 7-speaker sound system, and the Smart Electric Sunroof. These features were earlier exclusive to the top trims and now make the Sportz (O) a compelling choice for buyers seeking a near-top-end experience without the full price tag.
Adding to the list of customer-centric offerings, Hyundai is now providing a 25.55 cm touchscreen infotainment unit as a genuine accessory, priced at
₹
14,999. This system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and includes a rear-view camera for added convenience. Hyundai is also backing this accessory with a 3-year warranty, which should give buyers added confidence in opting for it as an upgrade.

Haryana Teens Drive Recklessly, Nearly Kill Two In Shocking Daylight Incident
Last Updated: The shocking incident raised a question mark on parents as two kids nearly caused fatal damage to local residents by driving and racing a Hyundai Venue car. A bizarre incident in Haryana saw children causing havoc by driving a Hyundai Venue car through a village. Residents were left stunned as these teens entered the big vehicle and started driving it, losing complete control of the car and nearly smashing it into two locals, including a kid, who somehow survived. The vehicle destroyed the two-wheelers parked nearby before people in the neighbourhood came out, shocked by what had happened. The incident that took place on July 16 was caught on CCTV and posted on Instagram, where these notorious kids started driving and racing the Hyundai car. At the beginning of the clip, one can see a resident trying to pass the gully on his bike before being forced to pause and somehow save his life by evading the uncontrolled vehicle. Later on, a child also managed to escape by milliseconds, as he jumped into an open door, while the car shattered the two-wheelers parked. From another angle of the footage, it is visible that the car kept racing through since the children inside had no idea how to apply the brakes. A pair of kids on the other side of the gully ran to save their lives, before the Hyundai finally stopped after jamming into a bike parked adjacent to a house. The locals came rushing by to check what had transpired, and much to everyone's disbelief, the car had two kids inside. One of them opened the door and started crying, as he was presumably hurt. He went straight to his mother, who was there and hugged the little one anxiously, knowing a lot worse could've happened. The other kid also came out safe and was checked by the locals before he ran to check his sobbing friend. Fortunately, no one was hurt. But the incident raised a few critical questions: how did these kids enter the car and start driving it unperturbed by the consequences? And what were their parents doing, completely unaware of what the kids were up to? How could they be so careless? While kids at their age had no idea of what they were getting into, the incident emerged as a genuine parenting failure. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 10:51 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
