Hyundai has recently announced a new line of subcompact cars, the HB20. The previous line-ups of cars brought comfort, ease, and safe driving experiences to people and were among the most trusted cars in the country. Hyundai’s recent launch promises potential buyers a new look, feel, and driving experience. The line-up includes six different cars available in various color options. Learning about the Hyundai HB20’s features can help buyers make an informed decision.

Design
The brand-new Hyundai HB20 has a sleek and modern look. The company has reworked almost everything in the older lineups to come up with a fresh new offering. The car now has a shiny black front grille that lends it an imposing look. Another eye-catching feature is the car’s 16” diamond alloy wheels, paired with 195/55 tires. Some HB20 variants include 15” hubcaps and 185/60 tires, adding to the car’s bold personality. The tires elevate the vehicle’s look and deliver commendable performance.

HB20’s rear design is just as impressive. The tail lights have integrated arrows along with straight, striking lines. The end-to-end connection design gives the car a striking and bold presence. The side of the car has a premium matte finish, adding to its outward appearance. Buyers can choose from six solid, pearlescent, and metallic shades.

Performance
The new 2024 Hyundai HB20 lineup promises good performance. Not only that, but the company also aims to deliver premium-quality features at the price of an affordable vehicle. The car’s variants include a Kappa 1.0 Flex motor or the Kappa 1.0 Turbo GDI Flex. A three-cylinder engine with 80 hp and 12 valves, the Kappa 1.0 Flex delivers performance similar to that of more powerful engines while consuming less fuel. The engine starts with an E-start switch, which ensures lower gas emissions and improved performance.

The Kappa 1.0 Turbo GDI Flex has 12 valves and three cylinders, delivering 120 hp of power. Both Kappa engines contribute to fuel efficiency. Additionally, the HB20 offers buyers the option of a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission to go with the two engines. Besides that, buyers can also check if their variant is compatible with a 6-speed automatic transmission system.

Safety
Featuring high-quality rear-view camera with clear and defined images, the driver can get good visibility even in low-light areas. The car’s front and rear electric windows have also been developed with anti-crush technology. This keeps the passengers safe during their rides or in case of any accidents. Additionally, the HB20 has panels running around both sides. These are slightly higher than the rest of the car, providing increased safety against scratches. The panels are made of high-quality plastic and have a five-year warranty. Even the door handles are layered with protective adhesives, protecting them from accidental knocks and scratches.

The HB20’s perimeter and volumetric alarm system alerts individuals against attempted forced entries and lets them know if the window is broken or if there are any other suspicious activities. Besides that, Hyundai has included anti-theft locks in the car; this prevents the car or its parts, like the wheels, from being stolen. The wheels come with an exclusive key that needs to be used to remove them from their rightful position.

Interiors
The car’s indoor flooring is covered with PVC carpet. It is made of 100% recycled PVC, which protects the car and the environment. The carpet is designed with safety locks on the driver’s side to ensure it stays in place. Buyers can also invest in matching matte black carpet mats to elevate the car’s aesthetic appeal.

The inside of the doors in the new Hyundai HB20 are equally protected. They have door sill protectors on the inside, preventing scratches and scraping of paint color while lending the car a sporty look. The car also comes with an organizer box with a waterproof lining. Not only that, but the box also has a security lock to store valuables or other objects that require more protection.

The trunk of the car has a perfectly fitting carpet that can be installed in place of the owner’s need to make space for storing objects or suitcases. The carpet is made from waterproof plastic, which keeps the trunk protected from water and dirt.

Variations
The new Hyundai HB20 lineup released includes a variety of options buyers can choose from. The base model is the HB20 Sense Plus 1.0 MT, with a starting price of R$88,990. It includes car-colored seat fabric, a 3.5” console screen, and front electric windows. The 2024 HB20 Comfort Plus 1.0 MT is priced at R$92,390.
