Hyundai i20(2013)

So, I am talking about the i20 Classic and not the Elite model. So All over its a great car for the Price, it certainly comes off as a good luxury hatchback, for the range of 6-8 lacs. Luxury and Tech Enabled: Hyundai has succeeded in giving good tech features to the car i.e Reverse camera, having amazing feedback with accuracy. The side view automatic mirrors are pretty toughly built and do not get damaged even after few good bumps, they do hold their stance. They have also been considerate on giving the Bluetooth connector for making phone calls and to be honest its a really amazing and very very useful feature, it is so convenient and hassles free especially if your phone has voice control. The Interior is as good as it gets, the dashboard is really up to the mark and does not dissatisfy.Seats are comfortable and discomfort is not any where near. Although there is some leg space issue in the back, but then remember it's a hatchback. But it Wins 4/5 on this segment. Drive Part : So for long drives it is kind of just perfect and the driver would definitely not feel any discomfort with non-stop driving of around 150 Kms a day (I can say this as I have done it a lot of times ) The Clutch and the accelerator handling is so smooth and aligned you do not feel any pressure and I am talking about the manual version. 4/5 - In this Segment. Fuel Efficiency and Pick Up: Well looking at i20 There are only 2 issues which could be to some a considerable setback . First, so the petrol version would give you an efficiency of 10Km/Litre with AC and without AC it comes around 13.5 Km/L. On Highway's It will Easily give you a whopping 18-20 Km/L. Second, So if you are a street racer you are definitely gonna shut the AC off in this car while getting up a notch in this car. 1st and 2nd gear do not really give an edge as compared to the counterpart of Suzuki " You know Which one ". ***But Now when you are on a highway and into your 4th and 5th gear this is the time this car will give you power like a stable beast and it does throttle at 140KPH(Please fill nitrogen in the tires while hitting this speed especially on Indian roads)*** 3.8/5 in this segment. Music System: So the music system is pretty Frigging amazing in this car, you Do not need to get anything installed on the base and the surround sound is pretty amazing. It is good for your Punjabi song (Diljit Dosanjh) to any EDM you listen to, trust me you set the mix right in this car and you do not need to spend any extra penny. So I would give 4.5/5 to this car in this segment. Built and Strength: So i20's structure and built is pretty averagely good, as we are considering we are only spending 6-8 lacs only.So even if you bump here and there the structure does get damaged but it is very easily repairable even by a mechanic or if you prefer the workshop, I should confess the back bumper is pretty strong and does not gets bumped easily. I would give it 3.7/5 in this segment. Overall Rating - Overall Great Car, Great comfort som hurdles are there but there are great many many many benefits to make the hurdles out of awareness.
