The Hyundai HB20 ("HB" stands for "Hyundai Brasil") is a subcompact car by Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company, which was launched in 2012. It is Hyundai’s third vehicle produced in Brazil and has flexible-fuel engines, therefore it was not exported to other South American countries until 2016, when it began to be sold in Paraguay and Uruguay.
First generation (HB; 2012)[]
It has two engine options, one of them from Kia Picanto (1.0-litre I3 with 75 hp). The higher versions do feature a 1.6-litre Gamma engine with 128 hp. The HB20 is available with a six speed automatic and manual transmission for both 1.0-litre and 1.6-litre.
HB20S[]
The Hyundai HB20S is the sedan version of the HB20 hatchback. It has the same engine and transmission choices from the regular HB20. It has the same wheelbase as the hatchback but is longer with 4.23 m (166.5 in) and has a bigger trunk (450 liters against three hundred liters in the regular HB20).
HB20X[]
The Hyundai HB20X is a mini SUV version which sets it apart from the standard HB20. As is the case for other similar models, it is available only with front-wheel drive. It is produced and sold only in Brazil to compete in the expanding mini SUV market.
This version contains mixed use tires, a suspension raised slightly and a few visual upgrades. It is available only with the 1.6-litre Gamma engine.
