Immobilizer – Security coded key for added security which cuts off/restores fuel supply when same coded key is used thus ensuring safety from theft.

Increased use of high rigidity steel plates – To reduce the injury of pedestrians at crash, safety zone in cowl and crash-absorbing hood are applied.

Seat Belt Reminder – The Hyundai i20 is also boast of a unique feature – ‘Seat Belt Warning’ for all the five occupants. Thus, strengthening the company’s commitment towards passenger safety.

As per the details available at Hyundai i20 Safety Features


Passive safety

Electronics are used to prevent the brakes from locking when they are harshly applied (known as ABS) and to control the car’s traction with the aid of an electronic stability package (ESP) if road surfaces become unexpectedly twisty or slippery. These devices automatically control the safe progress of the car, virtually without the driver being aware.

Active safety

In the event of an accident, active safety systems instantly activate the front seat belt pre-tensioners fractionally ahead of the front, side and curtain air bags.
