Hyundai Elite i20 [2014-2015] User Reviews

Exterior

 I would call this as the best looking car in the segment after VW Polo. Sleek design and good looking

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good interiors and best features, My car is a 2010 model but still got the features that is considered the best in the new cars for now. good space and good comforts.

sports varient is loaded with all that is is required in a good car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Smooth engine, however lags in the pick up, disapointed with the pick up specialy in the second gear not a recommended if you like power.

Fuel Economy would be moderate, I used to get around 17.5 in highways with the the rpm ticking within 2 to 2.5 range adn in city around 12 with AC on.

Gear box : As said earlier gear changing was smooth but pickup in the second gear is not that great. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good 

Final Words

 You can go for this car if you are looking for comforts style and smooth drive, If you are looking in for power and oickup may be you may have to think twice.

Areas of improvement  

 Mileage and also when it comes to maintenance I would consider this to be on a expensive side. Hyundai service does not have the concept of repairing any part they only replace the part even for the smallest things be a little careful about that. and parts are expensive when compared to Maruthi.

Good things is Hyundai is established market in India and also service stations are available in most of the places. After Maruthi the highest number of service stations in India would be from Hyundai is an added advantage.

Exterior Exterior design is just amazing, especially the hexagonal grill and the rear lambs

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Upto the mark. Classic

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is good. Getting 14 kms on highways which is not that convincing. Gearbox is smooth and easy to shift.

Ride Quality & Handling Giving good comfort for long drives. No backpulling. Easy to handle. Loved when we had a drive through a ghat section with full of turns and curves.

But even I felt the same with the breakpads. Whenever I take the car for the first time in a day, I could see some kind of knocking sound from the front side. I took it to the service center, but that sound was not there by the time I reached there. Again I had experienced the same issue multiple times, which lasts for only the initial 5 to 10 minutes. Again I took it to the service center and another technician informed that this could be an issue inbetween breaks due to moisture and it cannot be fixed; which was not a satisfying answer.

Final Words Good vehicle apart from these issues

Areas of improvement Need to add Distance to Empty option. Need to improve on pickup when the car is fully occupied.
