Hyundai i20 [2012-2014] User Reviews

Hi, I personally dont believe that I-20 is an overpriced car,please note that the additional features like Air bags, ABS, 2 din music system,steering height adjustment and moulded audio controls, rear disc breaks, higher engine displacemet 1.4L (i-20), 1.3L (swift), higher power(90 i-20 -75 swift), electric foldable mirrors, 2 tone beige interiors,alloy wheels,automatic climate control,rear wiper and washer, defogger, 60:40 split seats ( in swift full foldable), driver seat height adjustment, more boot space, all of these contribute approximately 1,75,000 rs. Ex-show room price  of swift in bangalore - 496,465, where as i-20 is 683,431. The difference of 186,966 can be justifyable for the saftey and luxury it has been offering. If we say swift is an VFM, certainly i-20 is also a VFM .It has so many additional features, luxury and safety  which are put in the right place, which makes the car a worth buy.If money is not a concern, then definately i would prefer i-20 Asta CRDI in the premium hatchback segment. Altough i am not a professinal in this field, i have tried to analyse few major things which were posssible from my side. please post your comments on this.

Thanking you.

Company must review the position of the tyres of sports/abs model I have spented over 7 lakhs rupess for purchase of i-20 model spoets/ABS but the three tyres of the car have bursted  one by one  and today no one is owing responsibility of replacement of tyres whom shall I approch for replacement the car was purchased on 24 /4/13, whAT to do can the company advice me, the car was purchase from DP Hundai/ABO PUNJAB, WHEN the incident of bursting tyre 1 happened I replaced  the tyre with spare wheel, but  after runing 20 kms on highway both tyres of left side burst making a halt to the car i was travelling with my family at that time, I approched  the dealer concerned but of no use exzcept for excuses, I have to spent now 10000 more for making car on road will the co review this shaort fall /weeken sode of a GOOD CAR.

Neither the dealer nor company giving replacement for t tyresEvery thing of car is good but the tyres need to replaced with guranteed company

Exterior The exterior look is awsome. The colour of my car is silky silver. Its very cool and the roof mounted antina gives a nice attraction too.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior is very neat and simple. And its very easy to Understand and use.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Perfomance is very very good. It get powerful initial pulling.

Ride Quality & Handling Its have a good ride control and Very good ride quality too. Handling of the cr is good.

Final Words The i2o magna 1.2 O is very awsome in lokks and very very excellent in perfomance. I am very happy to be a owner of i20. I travelled a long journey without any co passengers.. and i enjoyed the driving very  much.

Areas of improvement The locking system should want to be a little bit effective. The doors want to be automatically locked when the cars moves. I think its a minor drawback. They can easily settup that.

Leg space, good style, comfortAc power is low

I own 2012 model i20 Magna CRDI 1.4 (Diesel) driven 8000kms

Exterior

 A very good stylish exterior, 2012 model has very good slight touchups than previous model which is a plus

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel Economy is very good when you drive the car in 60-90kmph. If you cross 120kmph definitely it is going to reduce.

I am getting 17.5 km when I drive long and at a average speed of 95kmph.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Excellent riding quality, The power and Pulling at slow speed is amazing. Even when we touch 120-130 the smoothness of ride is unimaginable with any of the maruti cars.

Final Words

 A perfect mix of luxury& Economy

 

Areas of improvement  

 Prices are little higher when compared to other company similar segment diesel cars. But dont want to comprise on the quality of the parts by reducing the price of the car!!!!!

 

When my cousin drove the car he said pulling power is low in the 2nd gear, but I did not feel the same. But he may be right, because he is a expert driver.

There is nothing more disadvantages you can describe about!! My ride is getting better and better after evry long drive.. I didnt feel the againg of the car. Still the car is offering the new driving experience when i drove the car first fom showroom!!

 

Stylish Exterior, Rugged diesel engine, Good InteriorBack row seat too much slanting

Exterior Excellent and lovely, definitely better than maruti dezire, Great car, need more colors

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  is really good, dashboard and seating, space is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox are  very good, but difficult to drive using 2nd gear at the low speeds, we need to use the maximum clutch control.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent, especially high way drive is awesome, 

Final Words Nice Car, needs little bit improvement in terms of milage , suspension, clutch smoothness is better but needs to be improved. Need some control over the day light LEDs.  Low pick up in 2nd Gear. 

Areas of improvement Mileage in city with A/C, suspension, clutch smoothness, pick up in 2 nd gear.

Good looks, reasonable space, interiors, smooth steering, AC, rear sensor & Camera, bluetooth,Low mileage in city, low seating, very low pick up in 2nd gear, bit expensive

Exterior Car Got an awesome Exteriror with enough size length ground clearence , feels like we driving a Sedan itself...becos these days when comapre to length of Amaze and Dezire I think i20 evn a hatchback is more longer than thses carz. DLR Leds adds its style, it got good options in choosing colors too. I have choosen Silver as i felt it suits the best for the design,,,park sensors with camera and rain sensors makes the car easy to drive. electrically adjustable mirrors and OVRMs helps as to drive smooth and fold eaily mirrors when we stuck up in thin roads with traffic. The car have enogh space boot space and have foldable back seats which helps u too add more laguages.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I would define Interiror as the best among the segment and much better than low priced sedans...we feel the class when we sit inside the car,with good seating comfort, AC is powerful enogh, the music sytem is awesome that we dont need to go fr any add ons for it. the steering is very light and its quiet comfortable to drive in city...Material for interiors are quality one. With crome labelled gear shift and door looks adds its beauty. real beauty comes up when we turn the park light on,,,the car interior will fill up with blue illumination and ofcourse men loves blue..it have left leg rest assist near to clutch paddle helps when u go for long drives. climate control AC is quiete good. Back space is too good and 3 adults can sit comfortably which is main thing when we go out wit family...which i felt the draw back in POLO. Bluetooth assist with fone assist and music player controlls ll really helps indriving and make our ride very comfortable one. it have option for USB, AUX and Iphone and they are well placed inside car.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel Economy islittle disappointing , I just done my first service,,,,i m getting only around 14...It may be becos I m riding where i face extremely conjusting roads and required frequent gear shifts...I felt a lag in when I shift from 1 st gear to 2 nad gear...it taking time to pick up in second gear.gear box is quiet smoothand shifting is good...but i like gear shifting better in polo.

Power of car is awesome and you ll really enjoy its cruze thro high ways...and its clutch assist in traffic is superb we dont need to make much effort on clutch car moves slowely without getting of  which is good option in hyundai cars.we feel like driving a petrol car and its quiet n smooth and dont need to make much efforts when we move on hilly places too.

e Quality & Handling

 its gott an awesome power steering......... once you drove your I20,you cant adapt to any other steering its so light and very easy to handle...quite easy to ride thro traffic which is best part...

it have all quality parts u wont get disaaponted in any parts of 120, that i guarantee. its a class vehicle u can add into premium segment.

 

You may feel the price is bit high...but if u r looking for a hatchback this ll be the best choise...i damn sure u gonna enjoy it....with its specifications and comfort it offering . if u ready to compramise on comfort and style ...u have lots of other options too...

Area of Inmpovement: I felt the second gear pick is not so good...dat i need to clariffy with hyundai too...I dont know whether its a common issue...rest all its a premium car...for men ...

ofcourse after wedding for  family too....lol

 

 

 

Comfort, Specifications, Interirors,steeringMileage

Exterior Beauty what i call its design thumbs up to the fluidic version of I 20 that i love this car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Just best in class interior with fine and exquisite plastic work, color comination of beige and black adds cerry on the top. Talking about space I have driven polo, Swift, Dzire, Liva, Etios, Micra and its small sister i10 none has the better interior than this.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I have driven few thousand mile of the petrol version i fell car is quite a surprising package at higher speeds fuel economy is just fine of 11kmpl for now if you are going for luxury it always comes with a price. Gearbox easily located near to the armpit of drver and is quite comfortable.

Ride Quality & Handling If you are expecting some great BMW kindda response its aint that way car is mid size hatch and it prooves to be the one. One thing i really like about the car is its high speed manoverability.

Final Word Car which is fallen from the heaven to doorsteps of yours. 

Areas of improvement NA.

Interior, Power full ac, Boot Space, Cabin Space, Fluidic DesignBit sloppy in second gear

Exterior

 exterior is best in his segment soo no need to worry about that and best part is the DRLS in fog lamps 

it just looks awsum 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 interior design is also cool as exterior but some little things look a bit odd 

like old school gear knob,single hand rest on driver seat, and most important absence of average fuel consumption display, this feature is must according to me

except this all others factors like space and confort is very good 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine performance is not soo good during pick ups when car is full

it responses well after crossing 2000rpm and after that car goes like butter smooth. 

stability at high speeds is also good enough you wont even feel it when car is going at speed of 125+

fuel economy is well good in city it delivers about 9-10 an. on highways about 15-16 

Ride Quality & Handling

 excellent ride quality 

handling is the factor where you need to take care  as steering is very smooth .

otherwise handling on high speeds is very good

Final Words

 if u want luxury,confort,features loaded , no compromise in safty then this is the car for you

Areas of improvement  

 

design of gearknob, average fuel consumption display, distance to empty  

auto climate control,digital avg speed,comfort,auto wipers,auto headlamps & itz bst part LEDSvery low acceleration, pick up is not good enough, gear knob, absence of avg fuel consumption

Exterior

 European style, that's what the company claimed, and no complaints about it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Front passenger seats are really great. Gives you a feeling like your sitting in a luxury sedan. Easy approach to the console. 2nd row seats are a bit straight up. Could have been inclined a bit. Decent leg room and under thigh support. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The engine needs some more power and PS, it really lacks it. Fuel consumption is decent. On average the vehicle returns about 12km/litre both city and highway conditions. A very smooth gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Smooth ride, handling is good and amazing highway manners. But you feel the pot holes hitting you when driven on them. Can't help it, looking into the size of the car.

Final Words

 If you can spend 6lacs and above, looking for great hatch with features to boast upon, go for it.

Areas of improvement  

 Engine power and PS. 

 

Interior finish, great road manners, no nonsense engine,under powered engine
