Following the success of the i10, Hyundai Motor India today launched its latest model – the i20, a premium compact car -- for its discerning Indian costumers. The premium i20 hatch is a significant addition to the new generation of Hyundai vehicles identified by the 'i' prefix
Designed to meet the high quality standards, the five-door i20 offers a large interior cabin and stylish exteriors. Featuring Hyundai's distinctive design motifs – a body coloured radiator grille flanked by piercing teardrop headlamps at the front and a striking rear light clusters – the i20's modern lines are further strengthened by neat detailing, including colour-co-ordinated bumpers, sills and wing mirror.

The i20's well-packaged interior boasts of generous levels of standard equipment. All the i20 models have AC/heating, tilt & telescopic steering, 60:40 split folding rear seats, dual tone beige interiors, 2 DIN CD + MP3 Music System, front & rear power windows, refrigerated glove box, a multi information display (which includes trip distance, engine running time, calendar, clock, temperature and audio display) and tachometer, as standard equipment. While the top-end model of the i20 comes with features like fully automatic A/C, leather wrapped steering wheel and TGS knob, steering mounted audio control (a first for this segment), foldable key with keyless entry function, alloy wheels, height-adjustable driver seat, electrically foldable and adjustable outside mirrors and the category first six airbags.

The Hyundai i20 is a five door hatchback car which made its debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October 2008 and arrive on sale in late 2008 — to fit between the i10 and i30 and to replace the Getz.


A new 1.2-litre petrol engine will be available along with a revised version of the company's existing 1.4-litre unit and a 1.6 from the i30. A new 1.4-litre CRTD plus a 1.6-litre will be the diesel units offered at launch. All will produce 64.2mpg and 116g/km of CO2.

    i20 shall be a smart car. It may bring a dent in the Maruti Swift market. Like i10 brought down the sales of Wagon-R, Alto and Estillo to the ground level. I personally feel Maruti has never produced a genuine hatch back apart from the old zen which always rocked in style

    i20 will be the great car . We will buy it .

    Hi guys,
    I was planning for i10 magna. But since i20 has come. I may go for it. Can u let me know the diff. bet both cars like price, boot space, mileage and other adv. of i20 over i10.

  4. on 02 Jan, 2009 at 11:37 AM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Srihari,

    According to me both cars fall in difference segments of hatchback itself. i10 is a small car in comparison to i20 which is a huge in size. Its bigger than Getz and Swift as well in all aspects of size including boot space forget i10 to be compared with it. Price is also a factor. Base model of i20 will cost around 5.2 in Delhi while the top model is around 6.4 lakhs mark. Mileage will be around 15 mark which is the same as in i10. All in all a good car to choose

  5. on 02 Jan, 2009 at 04:00 PM Sandeep (Mumbai)

    The car is v good on looks,the interiors are ok,the cabin space is not very spacious as it looks from outside,Its bigger than the i-10 though.
    A good car with a very heavy price tag.You get all the features in swift apart from the 6 airbag.
    Just High-pricing the car doesnt make it above the competition should be able to give something new,like complete digital intrument cluster etc.
    Ppl wud rather go for an IKON,swift desire diesel.

    Dear Anonymous,

    Thanks for the post, i do not think the price is very high, the base model cost approx 5.3 ex-delhi with all features except for airbags and some others.

    Clearly, in all aspects, i20 is a much bigger car than Swift. almost 200 mm bigger in length and all others aspects..

    Get the facts right and than reply dude

  10. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 01:41 PM Hiten (Mumbai)

    Dear Friend Ashutosh the i20 is a bigger car but when it comes to inside sitting its not as big as swift and even for cost the base model is magna is 564000 on roads compared to other cars in the same level

  11. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 02:02 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Anonymous,
    I think either u are ignoring the above mentioned facts as given by me or you are just a blind follower of Swift Tag....

    Kindly check this link and it will prove as an eye opener to u:
    http://www.hyundai-i20.co.in/Interior.asp

    Boot space in Swift is 232 liters while in i20 is 295 liters, doesn't that make i20 a much bigger car from Swift from inside as well.

  12. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 02:10 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    And yes, it is bit expensive car though,it offers much more than all cars in its segment with 6 airbags, hand controls, climate control AC, big boot space, proven hyundai technology.. All in all a good buy

  13. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 05:44 PM Amit (New Delhi)

    and a good plastic compare with others, refined engine etc. so higher price is justified.

    amit

  14. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 07:24 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Amit, It depends upon individual taste on cars. I feel i10 is not a good buy for any consumer as it seems a high priced car for the things it has to offer, especially the space. Whereas i20 seems a dynamic car in all senses to me to say the least.

  15. on 04 Jan, 2009 at 10:03 PM Sss (New Delhi)

    hi all, anyone who got i20 - can u confirm its milage... am confused between Swift & i20.
    SM

  16. on 05 Jan, 2009 at 10:50 AM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    both will give u almost the save mileage, around 14-15 mark per liter and it all depends on ur driving skills. If u want to use full throttle in second gear all the times, it may not give more than 11-12 and if u drive in 5th gear with 50 as an average speed, it may cross 16 mark with less of brakes

  17. on 10 Jan, 2009 at 04:36 PM Umapati Das (Bongaigaon)

    Dear Mr.Ashutosh Trakroo,
    I have gone through your expertise comment on i20.It is very very informative.Can you pl tell whether I should go for Swift Dezire at the same price of i20Astha because the boot space of Dezire is much more than swift.
    With regrads.
    U.P.Das

  18. on 10 Jan, 2009 at 05:19 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Mr. U.P Das,

    I would suggest u to go for a test drive of both the cars and check the difference. According to me, Hyundai cars are always smoother than all the cars in its segment in its drive...Though its a personal choice

  19. on 10 Jan, 2009 at 09:35 PM Syam Krishnan (Trivandrum)

    dear anonymous,
    go for the i20 unless u luk 4 a diesel. i20 luks much better than dzire with one of the biggest butts and its awkward styling. i20 has much better interiors than swift and more legroom at the rear. Unless u r so particular abt the boot go 4 the i20. Oh man, i20 rockzzzz. its an all new car and will grab u more eyes than dzire.

  20. on 13 Jan, 2009 at 08:06 PM Anurag Gaddhyan (Dhanbad)

    Goin by my veiws, i20 is really an amazing car. I have made a research between i20 and swift which reflects the superiority of i20 over swift. I20 has many advantages and features which is generally seen in C segment cars. The car is a bit expensive but it also offers u that features. To conclude, performance wise, safety wise, looking wise, feature wise, and above all value for money wise, i20 is really going to outsmart its competitors. I am a fan of this car and is going to buy it within a f

  21. on 14 Jan, 2009 at 09:12 PM Sreekanthiyer2

    pls compare ground clearance and turning radius of i20 with dat of swift

  22. on 16 Jan, 2009 at 07:14 AM Jayan M P

    I have gone for a test drive of i20. It is stylish & comfortable but got very poor pulling capability especially climbing up. Also Fuel economy needs to be ascertained.

    Mr. Trakroo,

    U looks 2 e as Hyundai man. Today I had a test drive of i20 and found it to be interesting. It is good looking (design which would not ruffle many feathers)and it has a descent handling and drive quality. But it somehow lacks the buzz of swift. Moreover me a value for mone miser could not justify the excess price. Mabe Mr. Trakroo you can guide on features of engine etc. apart from some dimensional junk you shared

  24. on 19 Jan, 2009 at 12:48 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Mr. R Divine,

    You may consider me a Hyundai Man and yes i would gladly accept this gesture if you would want to compare Hyundai Vs Maruti.
    Maruti for years has duped Indian consumers from all its cars becuase of lack of compettion from all ends.
    If you want to compare Swift with i20, its just disgracing the class of i20. Swift is not worthy of competition with Getz itself. Swift just sold more in India because of better marketing campaigns and Maruti Tag.

  25. on 19 Jan, 2009 at 12:51 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    The gear box of Swift is the same as in Maruti 800 or in Zen. no comparison to the smoothness of Getz or i20. The gear ration and the clarity of clutch handling is pathetic whereas one would love to drive i20 or Getz. Hyundai hatchback cars be better compared to the likes of Skoda Fabia or Honda Jazz and not the old bitten Maruti cars meant for cheap driving experiences.

  26. on 19 Jan, 2009 at 04:24 PM Sabyasachi Chakravarty

    I am not sure whether the reviewer has driven a i20 before he wrote this review. I dont think this car is best buy for the price its quoting. It still using 1097 CC engine like the Hyundai i10 Magna 1.2, then why should the price be more that a 1 lac extra. DOes not make much sense to me. Its the ploy of these hyundai walas to take the customers for a ride...

  27. on 19 Jan, 2009 at 04:45 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Sabyasachi Chakravarty ,

    The lack of information is clearly reflecting on ur research or bias towards some other brands. Well, I am the reviewer of this car and I have already bought this beauty. well for ur kind info, the car has a 1298 CC engine petrol and 1600 CC engine diesel which will be launched in India soon. Get ur facts right before posting and even i have mentioned the Engine sepec clearly in my report.

  28. on 22 Jan, 2009 at 09:56 PM Sabyasachi Chakravarty

    Mr Trakroo,
    Well as per the specs, the engine cc is 1197. Where did you get the extra 100 cc?

  29. on 26 Jan, 2009 at 11:57 AM Robin

    Hi Dudes,

    I am impressed by i20 features but the only concern is that it appears to be underpowered (1197cc, 80bhp @ 5200 rpm) as per engine specifications.
    However Swift is 1298 CC and generates 87bhp @ 6000 rpm. Since the power values are at different rpm, which one is more powerful engine? Swift or i20?

    I currently have a swift and plan to sell it and buy a new hatchback.

    Cheers,
    Sudeep

  30. on 26 Jan, 2009 at 12:07 PM Priyanka

    Hey all,

    I bought an i20 two days and it is just awesome.
    Sudeep: do not just limit urself to power. Just go and take a test drive of i20. U will be bamboozled to drive it. Its gear changes like cream slipping of ur hands and the overall driving experience is just overwhelming. sitting inside the car gives u a feeling of a big Sedan.. My advice to all who wish to buy i20, just take a test drive and than decide. just go on to the facts provided here and there....

  31. on 26 Jan, 2009 at 12:14 PM Anonmys

    Amazing car...Looks are just too good. security features are also well justified at this price, and drives amazingly smooth

    Hi all,
    Can anyone suggest me which CAR is best between I20 Magna and Switft Dzire Vxi..including mileage

  33. on 07 Feb, 2009 at 12:30 AM Prabhjot

    Hi all,
    I m very confused and unable to decide whether i should go for Swift Vdi or I 20 magna
    Pls anyone suggest bcoz i want to but one of them asap..

    Hi all,
    I m very confused and unable to decide whether i should go for Swift Vdi or I 20 magna
    Pls anyone suggest bcoz i want to but one of them asap..

    and can any body confirm mileage of i 20

  35. on 07 Feb, 2009 at 10:37 AM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Hi Prabhjot,

    Swift Vdi is a diesel car where as i20 is a petrol version. Diesel car good on pocket if u have a daily need of at least 40-50 Kms's. Moreover, diesel cars will not provide you with smoothness what u will find in Petrol versions. I would strongly recommend you to go for a test drive of both the cars as mentioned by you and have a feel. Than decide for yourself/

  36. on 12 Feb, 2009 at 11:12 PM Suraj

    hi dear,why is delivery of i 20 delayed so much?artificial long waiting list or some problem wid d car...heard abt some problem in its telescopic steering..my self bookd it 1 mnth back..still no assurance frm the dealer

  37. on 14 Feb, 2009 at 06:58 PM Rahul

    Hi Guyz,

    The other day I went to the showroom to buy i10 Hyundai, Magna. Then I saw 120, both me and wife loved the car as it's spacious, bigger looks like SMALL VERSION OF CRV. I must say, dont compare i10 to i20. 1 lack difference is not big when you have something like CRV look alike and features better than Astra so the end difference is not even 20 - 30k. But it's an amazing car guys. Go for it.

  38. on 18 Feb, 2009 at 02:32 PM Saurabh (Ghaziabad)

    Hi All,
    I always wanted to buy Swift & was planning to buy Swift vxi from last 2 month but somehow couldnt buy. Few days back I heard of I20 and went for test drive. The instant reaction after driving it for 2-3 kms, I said this is the car which i was looking for. The car was awesome. Everything was well placed and it gave me a luxurious feeling. I booked the car on 12th feb and will be getting on 12th march. I would suggest to go for I20. You will love it once you own it.

  39. on 19 Feb, 2009 at 06:35 PM Bidhushekhar

    Dear Mr. Ashutosh,
    I must say that you have posted a good review of i20. It is very useful for everyone. But I would like to know whether you have confirmed the mileage of 14-15 km/l. I doubt because of the size of the car. It's a big Car having same engine as of i10 which I think gives better mileage. Please clarify....If it giving mileage of around 13/14 km/l then it should be a superb Car

  40. on 19 Feb, 2009 at 07:25 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Bidhu,

    Thanks for the comments, Well, Hyundai cars are usually low on fuel average and that is the only con I have mentioned in the start.

    Yes, it does provide an average of above 13 and mostly it depends upon ur driving styles. It is a superb car and even if u are a race driver, it will give u an average of around 11-12 and if u have taken a test drive of it, u would have loved it by u.

  41. on 20 Feb, 2009 at 04:21 PM Santanu Brajabasi (New Delhi)

    Hi all,
    I have checked three cars recently, but I am little bit confused which car I should go for. My options are SWIFT DZIRE VXI, HYUNDAI I20(Base model) and the recently launched FIAT LINEA DYNAMIC. My priorities are comfortable drive, low maintanance, adequate features, looks, proper service network and value for money. Please advise or should I wait for another four months for the anticipated launch of HONDA JAAZ and FIAT GRANDE PUNTO.

    Hi Ashutosh

    Very good review. Ijust got my hands on this beauty. I went for a test drive and fell in love with it. I had thought of i10 Sportz but couldnt resist this beauty and booked the same. i think an additional 1L is completly worth it. Just hope it manages to give around 13Km avg in Mumbai. Also i completly aggree that swift is no match to this car. Maruti has only produced stupid cars and keep on fooling people by selling their crap. I am saying this after taking swift test drive too

  43. on 22 Feb, 2009 at 04:52 PM Naveen Gupta (Kanpur)

    hello ,i am planning to buy i10 asta AT with sunroof . is Automatic transmission available in i20.

  44. on 23 Feb, 2009 at 11:28 AM Arpit Srivastava (New Delhi)

    Hi..I took a test drive of i20 its a good machine...but am facing just one issue before going for it..that the dashboard of driver's side is coming out more and it strikes your leg when you come out or get in...I hope you understand my point.....Arpit

  45. on 24 Feb, 2009 at 03:55 PM Saurabh (Ghaziabad)

    I20 is simply the best. Its best in its class. The car is smoother to drive and has a good handling. Its give a mileage of 12-13km/ltr in City and above 15 on highway. You will simply love this car. Go for I20 who are planning to but swift or swift dzire............ Saurabh

    Well, from the above discussion, its clear that the i20 boasts the luxury features of higher segment cars, is spacious and gives an average of 12-13Kmpl.
    My concern is power .. When I drive from Mumbai to Pune on the express highway ... will the swift just say bbye to me in the next lane ? If i20 has the same engine as that of i10, I expect it to be a buit slow dragger

  48. on 12 Mar, 2009 at 11:01 AM Nipun Bharti

    Read the Feb Autocar comparison with Fabia 1.2.They are concluding that Fabia 1.2 is a better performer.Now we all know Fabia 1.2 is poor performer when compared to Swift petrol.Problem lies with poor low end performance of the kappa 1.2 engine.When this kappa 1.2 is used in I10,it gives slower in gear acceleration than 110 with the older 1.1l engine from Santro. .In gear acceleration (20 to 80 in third gear and 40 to 100 in fourth gear)is more important figure.

  49. on 12 Mar, 2009 at 11:16 AM Nipun Bharti

    Opt for Swift for a spirited driving,buy Getz 1.1 if you want a big hatch with comfortable but relaxed(slow) drive.Presently I20 does not justify its cost.Wait for their diesel or bigger engine petrol model if you must buy a I 20

    good review and im all behind u on every word .. just went for a test drive of i20 today and i loved it , been driving swift a lot but the comfort level of i20 is just a lot different , planning to book one tomo ... just gotta get through this sleepless night of deciding on the color i want !!!!

  51. on 16 Mar, 2009 at 12:18 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Darshjeet,

    Thanks for the comments. The car is really amazing, I think Hyundai needs to bring the rates a bit down say 5% to make it more aggressive in the market, nonetheless get ur Uber cool (i20) now

  52. on 23 Mar, 2009 at 05:40 PM Priya Baweja

    PRIYA
    I have been thinking of buying a new car since the last 6 months- went to see the i10 but fell in love with the i20 at 1st sight..however my practcal side urges me to go for the swift dzire as its bigger and the same price as the i20.Had made up my mind on dzire..called for a test drive..but was v disapntd..with the pick up and the interiors..so all my practically has vanished...i20 it is..well almost..but hope the underpowered engine is not going to pose a huge prob for the amt i drive.

  53. on 23 Mar, 2009 at 05:43 PM Priya Baweja

    well i drive abt 50kms every day

  54. on 23 Mar, 2009 at 06:00 PM Priya Baweja

    has anybody compared the ascent to the i20..is that a valid comparison--they are similiarly priced

  55. on 23 Mar, 2009 at 09:52 PM Akshay Sawant (Mumbai)

    EACH INFO. GIVEN BY MR.TRAKROO IS ABSOLUTELY RITE.
    We own an i20 asta , having class leading handling , performance nd exceptional average in heavy traffic of 12kmpl in city with ac on .
    DIS IS R 6TH CAR ND R 4TH HYUNDAI CAR ND FOUND IT D BEST IN FUEL ECONOMY


    yes ive compared accent wid i20 .
    Aceent lacks Many features prsent in i20(asta) such as ABS , ALLOYS , AIRBAGS , CLIMATE CONTROL ETC.
    U WILL NOT AT ALL GET A GOOD RESALE VALUE OF ACCENT COZ IT IS NOW REPUTATED AS AN OLD CAR.

  56. on 02 Apr, 2009 at 12:18 AM Raman

    what is the delivery period of shift , i20 will be delivered with in 4 weeks any body can tell abot shift so i can plan.

  57. on 09 Apr, 2009 at 12:40 PM Anup Kumar Sahu (Mumbai)

    I think only the people who purchase hyundai cars are intelligent guys and rest are fools. some of u even compared i20 with fabia and honda jazz (which is yet be launched). I own a city and i can tell u that even the worst car from honda will perform better than the best from Hyundai.

  58. on 13 Apr, 2009 at 02:36 PM J P Singh

    I am confused that what I should buy, Maruti Swift Vxi or i - 20 magna, maruti swift Zxi or i-20 asta

  59. on 14 Apr, 2009 at 12:38 PM Lakshya Sharma (Trivandrum)

    Go for the i20

  60. on 14 Apr, 2009 at 12:49 PM Lakshya Sharma (Trivandrum)

    I just booked the car (asta). There's just one word to describe it. Fantastic. And this car is no way under powered. It beats the fabia and comes just behind the swift. Check out the overdrive review. And the best part is that it has better fuel efficiency figures than both the swift and fabia. Go for it if you have the budget.

    Swift desire is just a swift with a boot attached. Perfect deception by maruti to deceive foolish indians to buy a sedan. It suffers from body rattles, poor plastics, turbo lag and cramped interior (back seats). The i20 on the other hand is a luxury cruise liner with all features you would find only in a d segment sedan at almost the same price as "so called" sedan dzire. My advice. Go for i20

    Bumps are very high in INDIA. Dear Ashutosh, don't u think they will strike the base of i20. Second thing, leg space for driver side is less, it strikes the knees while going out or in. DR. VIKAS AGRAWAL.

  66. on 20 Apr, 2009 at 09:58 AM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Dear Dr. Vikas,

    I live in Chandigarh and in Chandigarh bumps are not allowed. I do not know about other cities but yes, if the bumps are too high, it will touch the base of i20 for sure. These type of bumps are usually found in cities like Rohtak, or any other Tier 3 or 4 cities and u would not expect them in a good city.

    Leg space for driver side is Less: Compared to what?

    sir i want exact figure about the ground clearence of i20 i think it is very less thats why
    it is not mention either in i20 brochure and in any website.

  69. on 10 May, 2009 at 03:12 PM Navinsivaram

    Many positive comments about maruti comes as they havent checked on a hyundai. The overall built quality is pathetic in maruti. If one checks in detail a swift & any of hyundai cars this will be clear. As Mr. Ashutosh mentioned maruti is selling more cause of people's ignorance & their network.

  70. on 18 May, 2009 at 04:37 PM Muralidhar (Bangalore)

    Dear Friends,
    The performence of i20 is not yet published by the user properly regarding the mailage, maintainance etc., pls inform any one who have using the car since I have to buy at the earliest.

    I'm almost on the verge of selling off my 9 yr old Alto to purchase the new i20 from Hyundai... I need to know as to why I don't see many i20's on Delhi roads and 2ndly, I need to know if there'd be enough space for the ones sitting at back while I usually need to push my(driver) seat to the extreme end while driving for comfort as my legs ae a bit long!

    i20 is a premium car and if u see
    every second person own this car
    will satisfy you till you havent
    bought.
    as the space is concerned it has a
    very good legroom and boot.

  75. on 13 Jun, 2009 at 03:05 PM Vikalp Singh (Gurgaon)

    I went to hundai showroom to see Accent and got stuck with i-20. when i saw the interior it was really like sedan and feathers are really good and looks like it has every thing. I felt rather than going for 9 year old aceent sedan i should go for i-20. my only worry is mileage for i-20. Can somedoby confirm how much mileage they are getting after 1'st servicing.

  76. on 13 Jun, 2009 at 07:39 PM Ashutosh Trakroo (Chandigarh)

    Hi,

    The mileage is good, not excellent though,. It will be around 13-14 with AC on and a bit more without AC. All in all it is a very good buy with its ride quality, interiors, pick up, smooth gear box. One of the best hatch back to hit the Indian roads.

  77. on 15 Jun, 2009 at 04:44 PM Salil R G

    Hi folks,
    I ve been a regular reader of Mr. Trakroo s observations ...any way I got my magna version delivered last month...has driven about 2100 km(includes 790 km straight drive from trivandrum to chennai)...I LUV THE CAR...its was an apt replacement for my santro zing of 4 yrs...the car gives me an overall mileage of 15.5 to 16(I drive 70km a day, 20 km in chennai city)...second gear initial pickup is a bit low..the front clearence is a bit less..the flexi rubber pad gets bruised oft

  78. on 15 Jun, 2009 at 04:52 PM Salil R G

    The interiors are a class apart..suspensions are good..stearing is butter smooth...music sytem is modest(not a nuclear reactor)...classic wheel caps...tried 120 kmph..no vibrations...has to extend to 140 kmph when I see gud roads(just to satisfy my ego..has driven swift petrol at 140kmph effortlessly)...GREAT CAR...even better cause honda Jazz is priced at 7 lakh...so go ahead and buy the vehicle...shall keep u guys posted on the mileage dept....:)

  79. on 16 Jun, 2009 at 09:24 AM Salil R G

    latest up date on the mileage of my car...did a full tank mileage check up at 1/4th of the fuel guage indicating empty...To be honest" the car gave me 13.9 kmpl"...with my usage, (never switches of the car/AC during idling periods) the mileage figures are good...of course 1/3rd of my total drive was in hectic chennai traffic...

  80. on 16 Jun, 2009 at 05:50 PM Mitesh Patel (Mumbai)

    hi
    Need some serious help on one particular feature. The AC cooling. What about the rear AC cooling in the car. As mentioned earlier, i loved the car, every bit and will be booking soon. but need urgent feedback on rear AC cooling

  81. on 17 Jun, 2009 at 03:05 PM Salil R G

    Hi mitesh..
    I hve only sat once in the rear seat during travel,didnt find any thing lacking...but during my travels from Tvm to chennai...the AC was tested to the core...the outside temp was 39 degrees(coutesy the hyundai gifted temp indicateor on my dash)..the folks a the back complained a bit about the cooling..I think it might have been due to the Honda city kinda big glasses/windshield)...however after increasing the fan speed to 4 they stopped murmuring...

  82. on 17 Jun, 2009 at 03:08 PM Salil R G

    to be honest...m going for sunfilming cause even though the AC chillsmits a bit unbearable to with stand the peeping chennai Sun....

    i 20-The Steering is damn soft, the gears change like slicing a butter piece;one would never find these in a Maruti car.I am driving a Santro since last 7 years.the first mileage that i got was 18.4 kmpl when the car odo read just 700 kms.I have regularly achieved figures of 17.5kmpl + and at times wvwn 19-20 kmpl.the worst was 16 when car had 18 people packed somehow with speed at 130 kmph and AC at full blast in sweltering heat of Rajasthan(Jodhpur).ma experience:Hyundai cars gud at mileage.

    Hello Mr Devkumar

    Here comes 1 more blind Maruti tag follower. The performance and comfort pleasure felt in Hyundai can never be felt in Maruti. And plz first drive a hyundai and then comment. I had a santro which was gr8 and now an i10 which is awesome. Also am planning to freeze on i20 as 2nd car. In the process i also tried swift but trust me i20 just rocks

  87. on 23 Jun, 2009 at 05:07 PM Priya Baweja

    i had been planning to pick up an I-20 for the some months and almost booked it..faced the same confusion between swift dezire and i-20..after test drives of both..i-20 won hands down....my booking got delayed due to some unavoidable circumstances which set me thinking ...i was paying almost 5:30 for i-20 magna..and thot to myself a little more and i can buy a sedan like sx4..so eventually i-20 being a hatch back lost out on pricing..i finally picked up the sx4. gr8 car...

  88. on 23 Jun, 2009 at 05:10 PM Priya Baweja

    at the end of the day..no matr how much we say maruti is for india fools...maruti is maruti..accessibilty and low maint'nce - benefits that are unbeatable..but cant take away frm the i-20...good looking car-u fall in love with it at first sight....if i am allowed andr car..def wd be i-20

    Dear Sir,

    I went through your review,I am currently using an i20 Magna , I agree with all the point's you have mentioned but would like to add that initially you feel a low power compared to swift, which was the only low point of the car, this is a honest comment as i am using both the vehicles, in all other aspects as you said it surpass Swift.

    Hello Every One,

    Well i read all the comments on i20. No doubt its better looking than Swift But when it come to value for Money.
    SWIFT is way ahead in all dept. i20 (Petrol) is no match for Swift ( Petrol).
    Also SWIFT (Diesel) is better than i20( diesel) though its very close.
    There is lag in pick-up of i20 when compared to SWIFT.
    Also, Turning Radius, Milege & Ground Clearance is better of SWIFT.

    So, SWIFT remain's at TOP. Best& Sportiest Hatchback and Great Value for Money.

  102. on 02 Aug, 2009 at 09:26 PM Raja Chowdhury (Kolkata)

    is there any possibilities that hyundai will come out with more powerful engine of i20 in near future ?

    Hi Trakroo,

    I saw your comments on Maruti( duping indian consumer...).With more than 15 yrs of competitors & 20 plus players still every other car sold is a Maruti Dude. And do you think 50% + car indian car buyers are brainless? You might say value for money that makes maruti so big in numbers. I agree and the same factor makes Swift a attractive option.

  104. on 04 Aug, 2009 at 01:05 AM Phani

    Trakroo,
    If you can recollect, getz diesel was a gem of a car( though little pricey).But it was a all time flop due to its price and poor strategy.And the few poor buyers are in a dilemma about its spares. Just compare the price of the variants of swift and i20( with similar features).
    With Hyundai already confirming plans to scrap i20's production in india and moving it to Czech republic, i 20 would be Hyundai's next big dud.

    Do check yearly maintenance cost. it mustbe less than Rs25,000/yr This onemost is important-factor before buying. eg. fabia/ford/honda/innova/Hyundai. anything b/w Rs35-65K just3-4service,oils+filters+labour

    I went for a test drive of i20 Asta. Car is loaded with so many features/functions which I suspect will require lot of maintenance. Also, rear leg space is not sufficient, its same as ALTO (which I currently own). Car looks modern but once you inside you feel not so great.

    ifyou r opting financing fori20,than sorry itsnot foryou. owning the car willbe very Expensive for PremiumCars inthis case it is l20
    Do check yearly maintenance cost. it mustbe less than Rs25,000/yr This onemost is important-factor before buying. eg. fabia/ford/honda/innova/Hyundai. anything b/w Rs35-65K just3-4service,oils+filters+lab

    Kamal

    -this car is not for middle-class but

    for upper-class/upper-middle class.

    think before buying ritz/ dizire-petrol/ swift-petrol but buy swift vdi-it is quite ok/good/world-car.

    you have better option of verna at same price of i2o/i20 1.4/sx4

    hi,Ashutosh

    since, since you r technically loose, you cann't differentiate b/w good,best n bad.

    if you are fool it dose not means that everyone is so. otherwise roads full of this-shit-car. i hardly fined them at delhi. see monthly sales.

    the guy anil77 is good n hitting the rite point.bulls-eye.

    don't follow others blindly.

    These ABC, Anil77 Devkumars are making similar comments against every Hyundai car and they are using this channel to spread their negetive propaganda against i10 i20 etc. and mostly shouting for Maruti cars.It proves either they are Maruti salesmen or Maruti dalals. Guys certainly dont trust these jerks, get true feedback from actual owners. i20 is a very capable car & still sells inspite of such onslaught.

    hi dmkb ji,

    i10era is bad car n 20 is pricy. since, since you r technically loose, you cann't differentiate b/w good,best n bad.if you are fool it dose not means that everyone is so.

    i'm tell the best swift vdi abs/punto/ buy dzire vdi abs/verna/sx4/feasta.s in the price of l20.1.4 is it nice.

    don't fellow others blindly check yourself...

    Hi Mr Anil77 the Maruti dalal, try to give something new, why copy other's comment? You & Devkumar together make a great sales team no doubt. But why mislead people? Certainly most of the viewers are not fool if you are fool or oversmart. Guys always go for a TEST DRIVE before purchasing one. No car is perfect, every car has its limitations, even i20 has a few i must say. Its upon the customer to see which one suits him best meets his expectations.

    And guys certainly dont trust these dalals or so called experts. Even test drive those cars which they have mentioned. Every car is good. It is upon us the customers to choose amongst them that meet all our requirements. A testdrive has no alternative, it will clear any doubt regarding any car . I think the devkumars and anil77s will now keep themselves off against making negetive propaganda of any car, at least for now!

    Hi Mr devkumar, i think you have enough faltu time. Its you who have been spamming, not me. Otherwise you could have seen i have urged for test drives before deciding a car whether its a hyundai or maruti or anything. is that wrong on my part? you have been making similar comments against hyundai cars in almost every hyundai reviews for quite long and shouting for maruti products. now you say who is spamming. doesn't it prove that you are a maruti dalal? isn't it quite obvious?

    hi Ravi/devkumarji,
    no doubt you have gone mad and take a long break from this forum. here one is supposed to share their experiences or give objective opinions, not to hurl abuses or making derogatory comments, but you people are hell bent in doing so. It only speaks of your disturbed state of mind. you need urgent psychiatric counselling, no doubt in that.

    hi to all,

    this review is fully loaded bias elements, just take one example the transmission. look it carefully which is very old & dated. since it is so hyped as if out of the world but the same is much much behind the worst little i10e. why they did so. is public are fool or what?

    if you are damfull than first learn car driving only then you can find/understand the difference.

    and also read the review."i20 UNDERPOWERED-by Nipun Bharti" cont....

    ashutosh why you r comparing swift to i20 i dont know atleast you go to show room & see price i think u have to compare i20 with honda jazz ......and yes ur not hyundai dealer na ?its looks like that only & look on road how much swift u see & then compare this factor to i20 ok maruti is maruti no one can beat it think about milage also .service stations avalability on highway roads and yes specialy resale value dear

  156. on 01 Nov, 2009 at 11:07 PM Pk Mathur (Mumbai)

    After having scanned through all the comments given by my learned friends,I am still confused about the choice between Dzire VXi and I20.I also find that someone has added that I20 is likely to be discontinued in India.So what you guys have to say??

  157. on 03 Nov, 2009 at 01:54 AM Kavik

    hi,

    either dzire vdi/zdi/sx4/verna-petrol-if you have a lots of money

  158. on 17 Nov, 2009 at 12:39 PM Karan

    ....I wonder how many of these people are actually working for Hyundai or Maruti ???? In these times of hectic lifestyle and workloads some people seem to be spending too much of their time and energy defending one brand or the other....so do your own research and don't blindly follow anyone’s reviews it’s your money, so spend it wisely….test drive all of them, do your homework and suit your needs….no matter what there are enough customers, satisfied or unsatisfied for both brands.

  159. on 18 Nov, 2009 at 04:20 PM Adity

    karan thanks for your wise real tips n eyeopener............

    fck any sales guy or tv-ads, test y'self n satisfied.
