We told you about the new Hyundai i20 months back at NEW HYUNDAI i20 and the news out is that this new model is due for launch by the festive season this year. Hyundai is currently testing the new i20 in India for real world testing and as expected , the car will also sport the new 'fluidic design' theme as seen on the new Verna and the new i10.
The i20 was launched in India in 2008 and since then , nothing much has changed with the car. Hyundai will also tweak the current engine options , two petrol (1.2 and 1.4) and a diesel (1.4) for lower emissions and better fuel economy. As for the price of the new Hyundai i20 - well we feel that owning to stiff competition , Hyundai will keep the prices unchanged!

The company also offers an automatic on the 1.4-litre petrol engine and we feel they should extend this to the 1.4-litre diesel unit as well. When the new version is launched , Hyundai might also offer their BlueDrive technology (LPG) as an option to increase the appeal.

A few days ago when KTM was getting unveiled by Rajiv Bajaj(MD , Bajaj Auto) and Stefan Pierer(CEO , KTM) in New Delhi , most of the people had only One question in their mind and that was not related to KTM in any way. Yes , people were curious about the upgraded/all new Pulsar that is due since to launch since past few months. With all the rumors and speculation , most of the auto-journo couldn’t hide their excitement about the new Pulsar and blasted Mr. Rajiv Bajaj with questions related to the new Pulsar. With enough questions piling up , Mr. Bajaj finally said that the new Pulsar will be launched on 30th January in Mumbai and that was it , no further revelations were made by the big boss of Bajaj Auto who started revolutionizing Pulsar in first place when he entered the company.
Enough said , Bajaj Autos has updated their website with a big countdown timer which made it clear that the bike will become alive on 30th January. With all the spy pictures and rumors doing round on internet , we could make out that new pulsar will sport a mono-shock and Pulsar 135LS styling!
We are waiting for the all new Pulsar to excite and meet our expectations. We hope BAL comes out with something that was never seen before from the company.
