The i20 Magna 1.2 MT is powered by a 1.2 litre Kappa petrol engine (1197 cc) that produces around 82–83 bhp and ~114.7 Nm of torque and is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox driving the front wheels. Its engine delivers a refined and smooth drive around town with acceptable acceleration and strong fuel economy thanks to its naturally aspirated design and efficient gearing.               

This variant sits above the base trim in the i20 lineup and offers useful comfort and safety features such as automatic climate control, multiple airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, and a spacious cabin with ample boot space. While it doesn’t get the sportier styling or the additional tech found on higher trims, it represents a well-balanced choice for buyers looking for blend of price and practicality.
