Following the Euro-spec i20 Active which has been unveiled last April, its number plate now takes a new accommodation - on the tailgate instead of the bumper. As for the bumper, it gets faux skid plate as well as taillights with LED fixtures. On this model, Hyundai i20 Active 2018 chooses to take a 2-tone color scheme: Phantom Black is applied to the roof.

This May, the official India website of Hyundai got some updates including a few for the Hyundai i20 which are more color options with an addition of a white dual-tone and new blue paint scheme, back rub strip located at the foot of the boot lid, and silver finish applied to the rear reflectors and front fog lights. The paint scheme in the model gets benefits from the novice Alps blue interior highlights, revised seat upholstery, and new button arrangement for the touchscreen.
