Exterior - the car came in august 2014 in india and when i saw the car on road i was mesmerised by the exteriors after all the thing which is eye catchy in every car is its exterior and hyundai has done very well in it .

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)-well stepping inside the cabin of the new ELITE i20 is a delight . if we compare 2 cars with the new ELITE (polo and punto) it gets the best in class features even in the sportz variant that is the middle variant. firstly i booked asta but the car tooked too much time to arrive in the showroom so i had to compromise in SPORTz variant but was not disappointed at all due to the awesome features of the new hatch . well the all the seats in the car are very comfortable. space given by the new brand is awesome.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox-it is the car of the year so i cannot say anything about engine performance its just awesome.well i just mentioned of the fuel economy only this factor of the car is not too good.

 

Ride Quality & Handling- the car has ABS and EBD so oviusly the ride quality and handling is just tabataod!

 

Final Words- love the car 

 

Areas of improvement - just in fuel economy in the petrol variant.

Everything is great about this car. Feels confident while driving. Rear View camera good. Rear Sensors great. ABS okay AC not that chiling Cons- Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage Low Mileage A few more torque and bhp would have been better. I guess We have it in the 2018 model.

I20 is a popular premium hatchback to buy under the price of INR 8.5 Lakhs in term of stunning looks, comfort, performance & first in class interior and safety features. So, here I have provided some of the elite’s advantages & disadvantages, have a look Advantages Due to the fluidic design the i20 has stylish look as compared to its rivals in the market. The seats are very comfortable and spacious as they provide the excellent back support while in the back seat the three people can sit happily. Hyundai cars have the excellent after sales service & the resale value in India. Last but not the least, the I20 comes with the loaded features on its top ends variants like Driver frontal airbag, Front passenger frontal airbag, Rear sensors with camera & ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Despite all the positive features of the i20, there are some of the major drawbacks. Let’s see cons of Hyundai Elite I20, Disadvantages The most evident negative is the lack of safety features in all variants except the top end model. If you are not going for top-end model, then you would be missing out saving safety equipment. Engine feels underpowered The Hyundai Elite I20 is too expensive in comparison to its rivals specially the diesel variants.

This car is a wonderful car within the price range of 7-8.5Laks. The look and design is amazing, a new kind of headlight pattern and bottom placed fog lamp is very attractive. More over the tail light and tail section design of the car make it as comparable to a European Car. The fit and finish and build quality is very good ie we can understand it from the weight of doors, bonnet and dickey also the quality of plastic used in the interior is up to mark. The cabin instrumentation and space usage is good. The blue lighting across the steering and instrumentation in the car cabin at night gives a cockpit view and is a treat for our eyes. The steering mounted switches are very convenient for controlling the music related operations. The Cabin is spacious and plenty of bottle holders are given. The driver seat is provided with height adjustment option so we can set the seat to our convenience and the seat is very comfortable too. The 2nd row seat can accommodate 3 normal sizes passengers. Considering the 2nd row seat the thigh support is good but the leg room is not enough for a tall person, for an average person it is fine. If we lift the bonnet and watch the engine bay we can see plenty of space is wasted there ie the engine and components doesn't occupy all the space under the bonnet. If this space is cleverly used the length of the bonnet section can be reduced and the same length can be used to increase the leg room of 2nd row seat. Even though rear AC went is given it's effect on rear passengers is very low. The boot capacity is sufficient. The rear window area is small and if rear passengers put some objects on the rear parcel tray the rear visibility of the driver through cabin ORVM is not possible. The high plus point of this car is it's riding experience. The steering, clutch, gear and brake is very light so that we can drive easily in the high city traffic @10-20km. On good roads specially at highways we would not aware of the speed till we look at speedometer because the car is very stable. This car is fun to drive specially on village roads having turns and curves. The handling at corners is very good and predictable and body roll is very low. The suspension and R16 tyres absorbs all most all shocks from the road and makes the journey very comfortable. The refinement of the engine is absolutely brilliant and so that no noise is coming from the engine all most all the time. The light steering and clutch make this an everyday use car because the driver need not invest much energy for driving this car irrespective of traffic and type of road. With 5 passengers and turning on the AC will put this car to a very struggling stage specially on hilly roads, with 5 passengers and without AC it seems to be just OK but not up to mark. Considering the above situation, also the weight and size of the car, the 1.2L 82 bhp engine is not enough so I wish this car should come with at least 1.4L-1.5L engine having 90-100 bhp in order to succeed in any situation. In normal situations the 1.2L 82bhp engine is fine. I usually don't use AC because I am from Kottayam District Kerala and here the pollution and temperature level is very low so that this engine can perform it's function very well and I can enjoy the same. The mileage of this car is around 13-16 on good roads and below 10 on bad roads/city traffic that is not bad considering this car's weight, size and R16 tyres but not great too. The ground clearance is also low considering the condition of the village roads so it can be upto 175-180mm. The yearly/10000 km maintenance cost of this car is below Rs.3000. The quality of the service is also appreciable. I suggest this car to everyone who are in search of a premium petrol hatch which offers everything except high mileage(18-20km/l)

Buying experience is good, as I & my family was greeted well by dealership. Car performs well in rough roads as suspension is key things to notice. Initial pickup is low, specifically when loaded fully. Looks is the "elephant in the room"....simply awesome. Maintenance is on lower side. Needs more powerful engine, because of heavy sheet metals. Rear sit space(Leg Room) can be stretched.

The car which changed design,comfort of hatchback. I20 Elite changed era of cars. I20 has its own pros/cons but the car is known for safety,comfort and ultimate design. Spent very less amount on maintenance. Fuel economy is little bit less need to improve. I20 Elite always gave me pleasure during my journey. Overall got satisfaction after every journey.

Riding experience: In petrol version it’s difficult to drive fast . And also engine was knocking
