RightIndicator

Right timing, Right Offering and Right price point is making Hyundai a successful in Indian Market, specially in Hatchback segment and i20 fits perfectly into the scenario. When i20 was launched it was highly desirable, market was looking for new face after swift and Getz. i20 extends the luxury and makes it perfect offering for a dire need and fills most of gaps left by its biggest competitor swift. Currently when market is full of similar other choices like VW POLO, Fiat Punto, Ritz and Micra still, i20 is giving a tough competition for their survival. i20 is well balanced car for a balanced family in every aspect.

i20 Style & Exterior

When i20 was launched in India it was almost the only one in the competition with its Style, size, length and width. i20 looks balance from all the sides. Big head lamps with cheeky design gives it peppier look and at the same time Size of the car is a significantly contribute to soberness and match with its class. Rear lamps compliment the head lamps and exterior design. Balanced Design is the key factor which makes it appealing and soothing to the eyes, and that is factor again which does not make head turner. If you compare it with swift, Polo and Punto, they all shows a distinct character imbibe in it, but yeah .. that is somehow less visible in i20.

i20 Interior Design

This is my favorite part, I just love i20 interiors. Here I would say Hyundai has done an outstanding good job, They followed the principal “Design follows the function”. Avoiding unnecessary design element, makes it simpler, contemporary. In my opinion i20 offers the best interior in the segment. Long and broad dashboard with dual tone looks awesome. Not only looks but plastic quality is good and touchy. Right amount of chrome and silver in instrument panel gives a rich look.

Ample amount of cup holders and racks makes it more useful.

i20 Driving Comfort

Ergonomically i20 offers an excellent riding posture for driver. Space is lavishly used inside the car. Long wheel base with low height offers less body role hence improved comfort and stability. As I said, i2o is balanced in every term.

Instrument cluster is arranged in a suitable way to fall on hand whenever desired. Gear shift is really really smooth and just need a touch to shift it. Steering is light and easy to maneuver, very helpful in busy hours, but it does not change in highway at higher speed ooofff .. its a family car you are not supposed to test limit ok

i20 Performance

i20 uses the same Kappa engine as in i10. That gives an impression that i20 is sluggish and in specially in AC, but in reality actually it’s not. Here gear ratio plays a key role, which is tuned for the size of i2o to offer satisfactory torque and acceleration. Yes that is definitely a compromise to max speed but As a family person I will prefer to drive sober than a in racing spree. I think Hyundai took a call here to make i20 an affordable family hatch, by keeping the engine within 1.2 liter bracket, otherwise prices could have gone significantly higher, due to higher tax slab on bigger engine.

If you are looking for a Diesel variation of i20, in my opinion i20 is a very good choice. 1.4 ltr engine is just superb in every angle. Compared to other diesel hatch, i20 diesel is very silent, though I will say it will take a while for you to figure out that its a Diesel engine under the hood not petrol. On contrast Torque (220Nm@1750rpm) and fuel efficiency (14 on average) figures are significantly good to become a fan of it.

Another good thing for lazy buggers , i2o comes with Automatic option too. I did not get a chance to drive it, 1.4 liter gamma engine will be definitely a good experience to drive. It is really costly (around 7.60 Lacks ex-showroom) as expected the reason are: first- it comes with more engine capacity, Second: Costly Automatic Gear box and Third: Only top end model option. There is significant drop in fuel efficiency of automatic cars compared to manual ones, you can expect 2-3 km per liter difference compared to manual i20.
