A year that brought the world to a standstill, 2020 hasn’t been great for most of us. With nations crushed under the weight of COVID-19, 2020 made us rethink mobility. With buses and other modes of transport becoming the centre of virus transmission, the automobile industry didn’t lose its ground. Despite heavy losses looming the entire industry as a whole, several manufacturers launched new vehicles to keep the spirits high. And the mere fact they were launched in the dreaded 2020, makes them iconic. While there were plenty of of new launches in 2020, here are the 7 most iconic and awaited new cars of 2020.

  1. Kia Sonet

Powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (83PS/114Nm), a peppy 1.0-litre turbo (120PS/172Nm), and a 1.5-litre diesel engine (100PS/240Nm), the all-new i20 is as exciting as it gets.
