Hyundai Elite i20 [2014-2015] User Reviews

Exterior The C-black pillars, and the fluidic design , 16 inch wheels give a very attractive/eye catching looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Loads of features. Rear a/c vents, good wheelbase, comfort for rear seat passengers, cooling glove box, controls on steering, dash colors, dash lighting illumination control,  quality of plastic, buttons, climate control: use all these features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I've not checked fuel economy. Gear shifts are smooth, could have been better.

Ride Quality & Handling Is good..use it for day to day drive to work in bumper to bumper traffic, don't sense bumps & potholes..feels sturdy when I hit 90-100 kmph on NH..

Final Words Great experience. Driven both in city and on high way ..2 kids +2 of us..it's a great buy for a family. Decent boot space, good torque & power, 2 airbags, lots of features, good speakers, integrated dash, climate control, 1 GB in memory for storing &playing songs, hand rest box, 2 power outlets , conveniently placed

Areas of improvement  

1.Gear box- when shifting the gears, the experience is not as smooth as I had experiened with Swift.

2. Attitude towards safety : More airbags/side airbags, automatically lock doors if speed crosses say 15 km.

3. Distance to empty indicator.

4. Sun roof.

Looks, features- rear ac vents, steering rake and reach adjustment, blue tooth, spaceDo not have side airbags, does not automatically lock doors even at higher speeds

Exterior Superb. Everybody turn back & look it. Very nice experience when people look it. Especialy white and Red color apealing very good. Overall good impression.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good quality, impressive and stylish. Excellent work from Hyundai. Especially AVN comes into the picture. But it gives video playback while driving would be better, cz other passanger will be there and would be more enertaining. In rear seat middle hand rest with cup holder missing even top end models, would be better implemented it. Also missing window toggle button led light, only driver side is there. Overall good quality, comfort and legroom space is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good and powerfull enough to get easily 140kmh with abundent torque. Cabin is too silent, rifinement of engine is too good with butter smooth gear shifting. Clutch is slightly heavy, you will get power punch @1800 rpm for sure. Slightly turbo lag is there. Overall pickup, torque, stability very very good. Hyundai must be need to tune engine to get more mileage as its competetors like Honda Jazz, MS Baleno. Overall good package.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Nice and good.

Final Words Except mileage and some cons, this premium hatchback is really premium. If you want power, torque, comfort, features and many more I would definately suggest it's top end. Don't go for basic. Only go for Sportz and Asta models.

Areas of improvement Brakes, Mileage, Rear seat arm rest with cup holder, DRL is must.

Style & Design, Space, Comfort, Torque, Stability, Interior, FeaturesMileage, Poor Brake, Rear is drum brake instead disc, No DRL, Slightly overpriced

Exterior

 Awesome looks, gives me feeling of bmw x1 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Too good, It offers more features than any other permium hatchback in india(ofcourse bmw,merc and mini are out of equation)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good at rpms above 1.5K but below that it feels sluggish

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good though I would still prefer polo here

Final Words

Going for Elite i20 inspite of falling in love with polo for a long time was a tough descision but now I feel it was worth.

The polo had 3 cylinder disadvantage and also offered a lot less features than elite

Areas of improvement  

Removing Rain sensing vipers from the latest edition was a bad idea, also the daytime running lights.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

Great Looks, Awesome Features, comfortLack of power at low rpms

Exterior

 This has the feel of a real luxury hatch and is surely catchy with looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The leg/head room for especially tall passenger(above 6ft) is good, especially for the driver himself. The adjustment options available in terms of driver's seat height adjustment and steering tilt & telescopic adjustments will help you find a comfortable driving position. The interiors are excellent and convenient.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is also eceptional. The initial pick up when the A/C is on is a little slugish, on the other end you can cruise in the highways. fuel economy is acceptable. Gear shifts are very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 excellent suspension setup. Hnadling with ABS especially in hilly regions is very helpful.

Final Words

 Excellent catch. The topend spec variant comes with fully equipped safety features and is packed with other features.

Areas of improvement  

 There should have been 6 airbags which is missing in the new Gen i20 compared to the compared old i20 which had 6 airbags.

 

Luxury from the inside and a big car feel from the outside & insideservice is bad

Exterior

 the exterior is just awesome , head spinning looks . 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 spacious , classy feel , all the controls in your hand for connectivity (usb,aux , bluetooth ) . ac is just too chilling , arm rest with the space near the hand brake is perfect for any kind of driving , let it be long or city drive . music system is also decent enough . 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 i have been using petrol engine 1.2 , completed 3200 kms , its all butter till date , and i hope it remains same all the way through . fuel - dte , afc could have made it more better , gear box is smooth and easy. fuel economy as of now is ok ok , however  in future will be improved after 5000-7000 kms .

Ride Quality & Handling

 ride is as good as butter , being in the advantage of petrol , pickup is perfect and noise is absent . i have taken this on delhi express high way byond 160km/hr but after 160 it starts loosening the grip i think . 

Final Words

 i am the proud owner of the i20 elite petrol , and i recommend all the friends to go for it , as per the running diesel/petrol whatever suits you . and plus zero dep policy in your pocket u dont need to worry about the damages or other things . however i have come across some incidents where i feel the body of the car bumper, front/back is very strong . trust me on this . places where i thought the bumper is gone , it was just a scratch or a bit more thats it . i was also given info that the ac of i20 is not good , and till date  (got the car in sep 2014) i have not used the ac on full cooling , as it gets chilled very soon . 

Areas of improvement  

 distance to empty - 

average fuel consumption - 

 

 

looks , fluidic design , driving comfort , smart pedal .distance to empty , average fuel consumption visibility should have been added .

Exterior Very fabulous exterior and no doubt about looks , stylish from everywhere.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very superb . As I bought Asta version , I have fully loaded fetured car. All features are working fine. It has very good space. even 6 feet guy can seat easily in front and behind.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I bought this car 1 month car ago and have travelled around 200 kms and around 14-15 kms average is getting which is normal in mumbai city where traffic is headache . Gearbox is also very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Steerwheel is even smoother and can handle in one hand easily. Features like rear AC, camera, sensor all working very superbly.

Final Words Fianl would be very awesome car with awesome features. There are many features like showing which gear to go, make steerwheel staright when you start the car. All featues are working fine. THIS CAR IS VALUE FOR MONEY.

Areas of improvement Need to add more feature if any missed. :-p.

Superb looks , big space , many features and good fuel economyNot till now.

This is an amazing car. It's been a year since we brought it and it's performance is amazing. There is no other hatchback in this series better then t his car. It's better than baleno, swift, jazz or any other hatchback. Looking is also very good in this segment

After completion of 345000 kms car is still perfect. Not even a single time any Road assistance needed. I have visited complete Rajasthan, Gujarat , Himachal, J&K , Punjab , Maharashtra etc. on this car. Specifically at Gulmarg, Sonmarg , Pehalgaon , Manali, Kaza etc.

Exterior

Stunning exterior. the front honeycomb grill looks really excellent. if the height is 6 inch more you can surely confuse it with Audi q4

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Spacious, good build quality, excellent features. addition of rear ac vent gives a comfortable drive in rear seat

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Performance is good after you reach 2K RPM. Without AC on pick up is very nice, you can feels a vroom effect without AC on from the very begining but with AC you have to wait till 2000 RPM

 

Ride Quality & Handling

Excellent ride quality and ideal for cruizing. Very comfortable drive and excellent streering. You will love the handling and much improved suspensions. I had taken a ride on bumpy road and you wont feel anything

 

Final Words

A real value for money. Go for it and you will love it. I drove it for 600 Kms by now (19 Sept 14) and can say that the ride quality is far far better than my other 3 old cars (Aveo 1.6 LT, Ford Ikon Flair, Wagon R VXI)

 

Areas of improvement  

Addition of DTRL. addition of touch screen music system, should provide some safety features from base model (airbags, abs etc) onwards, addition of rear arm rest
