Hyundai i20 [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Exterior is good from all way, eye catching. And this is the only part in which I 20 leads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good, Spacious & Best in this class. Featues are also amazing.  I have CRDI 1.4 (O).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance now this is the most important part and in this I 20 fails.

In Performance Level - Hyundai needs to improve so much.  Its very Bad Pick Up as compare to any car in India (even Maruti Alto 800 is better pick up )

Specially in heavy traffic you have to drive on 1ST Gear as its not getting pick up even in second. I have drive 33000 KMS and already done 4 service from Jodhpur  but company is not doing proper servicing and also not make any impovement in pick up and average, it delievers only 13-14 KM. It's lowest average car in this price range ( I spend 7.45 Lakh ), Maruti Swift- 20-22, Nissan Micra-21-22, Honda Amaze 23-24 and this all car are much less in price than I 20. But price is not matter as compare to Looks. In look factor I 20 fails everyone.

Ride Quality & Handling Again, you can't enjoy ride if pickup is so poor. I have I 10 Petrol also in my house and believe me it's far best as compare to I20 even its 3 Lakh cheaper than this one.

Final Words Hyundai I-20- NEVER (Only looks are great).

Areas of improvement Hyundai should consider on Pick Up & Average or company will lose customer.

EXTERIOR & INTERIOR ALSO GOODVERY BAD PICK UP, POOR***EST COMPARE TO ANY CAR

Exterior Initially I had planned to buy swift diesel, but then looking from a family perspective I always favored i20 and now that i have got. I beleive in terms of exterior this car is gorgeous to look. My neighbour has a swift and he is jealous of me and that makes me feel good as i am not.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) At such a price and in such category, i culdn't have expected for more. They have taken care of everything. Be it seats, music system, space. Everything is sheer quality. I should say Hyundai scores a perfect 10 on this one. Although, suspension could have been a touch better but I still would rate this better than swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance - When you rust this engine to 110 at 4th gear. Then you still have 2 more gears to go, I culdn't try beyond this as where do i find a road . Although Chandigarh da trip ta laana hi hai. Test would get completed. Overall, performance is the best of the lot in this car.

Fuel economy - I am not sure what swift owners are getting. But i20 is currently delivering me 18-19 in mix city and highway driving. Pls note this is without AC as its winter time now and i usually drive during evenings and mornings. I beleive the fuel economy can go up to 22-23 on a pure highway drive. Also, just to tell you guys, this fuel average would only come when you drive below 2000 RPM's as dis car drinks a lot of diesel when revved about that, so ensure you drive in a correct gear.

Gearbox - Quite smooth, I din't feel any problem. Although shifting from 5th to 6th is tricky as i sometime hit 4th in the process.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension - Its good. I still would have liked if Hyundai would have gone a mile ahead in improving this.

Handling - Steering is a little lite so one may have to grab it at higher speeds as you may feel that car is drifting through lanes. But this steering works like butter in city driving and that's a pleasure while driving in city conditions.

Final Words Well guys, if you buy swift for fuel economy i would say pls dnt think that. I20 is equivalent if not better in this case.

If you buy it because of Maruti, well experience something new. Life comes only once - How long would you continue to drive that common looking car which isn't that a good value for you.

Final say - Pls buy sportz model as it gives you ABS. I seriously miss it at high speed, although braking without it is still excellent but we never know when we may need it.

Areas of improvement Car is simply perfect. If they can improve the service interval to 15k or 20k then it would be great. 10k is too less for a car of this size.

Style, Fuel economy, Diesel power,I miss ABS- pls buy sportz mode ::((

hello...folks...i got my new i20 magna(o)1.4 crdi....2 weeks ago.Now i have clocked 500kms.

the car is extremely powerful..bt delivers less power below 2000rpm.AC also works good,nice ground clearance.gud music system.Electric folding rear view mirror is awesome .when it comes to fuel efficiency i feel sad sometimes its giving me a mileage of 14kmpl in city with 50%ac(dealers promised it will improve to 16 kmpl after 1st service).

Overall i am more than satisfied with my i20 :)

i20 rocks...one of the best diesel hatch available.

power,interiors,exteriors,space i like everything about i20little sad about fuel efficiency

Exterior Fresh look, as I got my car delivery today only i am fallen in love with this car engine perofrmance is like thumbs up it feels like you driving the beast. u can feel the power acellerating it , i have driven swift vdi but you some where that 75bhp needs gear n after some speed you have to drag it push it hard n i20 is far more away from it no doubt swift is not that much costlier but what actually u gettng in the car. Nothing! so close ur eyes n book i20 else test drive it and you judge it better :).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Thumbs for ineterior and comfort. It is loaded with gadgets space is more than polo figo n swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I have told you earlier it is a beast when the trubo kicks it you wnt get when it will touch 100+, slightly dissapointed with fuel ecconomy , but still it all depends upon your driving  :).

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is not that much up to mark after 100+.

Final Words Every car has +ve -vee side but this car hs lot of +ve side rather than -ve :) . drive it you will feel the power n comfort :)).

Areas of improvement Braking and handling after 100+ thats it . :).

Interior engine drive quality .Braking is not that much good after 100km/hr

Exterior Exterior is Very good. looking like very good. Nice design. Compare to other sedan model cars it is most prefferable car when you compare exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good. good space and seating facility and boot space is awasome.interior is Very good. looking like very good. Nice design. compare to other sedan model cars it is most prefferable car when you compare interior.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very bad. Previously I am with santro XING LPG and performace is Awasome.  i bought i20 crdi MAGNA Option. when compare to santro, i 20 car performace is verfy bad. pick up is very less in traffic and 2nd and 1st gear intial performace is very bad. becareful, when you are in traffic and in long driving traffic. it could be a chance of accident.

Ride Quality & Handling Good. Handling is goog. but minor problem in steering wheel alignment. need to reverify. after 1500 kilo metres sterring need to rotate more to turn the car. this is minor detect.

Final Words Performace is very bad compare to other cars.

Areas of improvement Need to improve performace.

Exterior and Interior and spacePerformence

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) If you are looking for creature comforts, this car is great. Lovely automation. It even tells you what gear to change to... just incase you don"t know that.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Once you start driving you will realise how poor this engine performs. When trying to overtake there is no reserve power and you have to fall back. Climbing slopes with a full load has to be done with a prayer on your lips, that you won't stall. 

The showroom will tell you that the car gives 19 kmpl. However the car gives a mere 11.5 kmpl at fuel conscious driving.

Ride Quality & Handling Negotiating a speed breaker is a back breaking experience as the car jumps, and not rolls down the negative side, even at a crawling speed.

Final Words I bought this car to replace a swift for long distance highway driving, but since the fuel consumption is high and engine power less, it was a BIG MISTAKE buying this. I am back to doing the long distance runs in the diesel Swift which gives me 18.5 lmpl and has tremendous power for overtaing and negotiating inclines.

Areas of improvement Be honest when your're selling the car. Don't lie to customers about the mileage.

 

The interiors & exteriors are greatThe engine is below par.

A reliable vehicle backed up with quality but expensive after sales service 2 things I felt could be improved upon, low seating,and lot of road and wind noise Sound insulation needs improvement

Always look modern car.till now I'm using also smooth engine..low maintenance highly recommended new buyer , six gear transmission make ride smoth comfort , please drive ones in life.
