In Brazil, the i20 has seen significant market traction since its launch. Sales figures indicate the model has reached 6,386 units sold, outperforming the Peugeot 208 in year-to-date sales. The high-end Ultimate trim includes features such as a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous braking.
