IRDE 2 Magna - New Gen I 10 - Hyundai is far far ahead of maruti

 

Exterior I chose the Magna IRDE2. The exteriors are excellent.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors are simply superb. We'll feel as if we are sitting in the cockpit of an airbus.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is awesome. At speeds of 70 to 80 kmph, we can feel only the super cool air gushing out of the ac vent. The engine is silent and we can hear only the rotation of the tyres. Motor driven power gear is class of its own. You can feel only when you experience it. But the fuel economy is a disappointment. I get 9 km per litre of petrol in the city (chennai) and 15.50 km per litre on Highways. Our dealer (DSC Hyundai) says that after the I service I can get arount 13 to 14 Km per litre in city and 18 to 19 Km on highways. He says the performance of IRDE2 engine is similar to kappa2 engine.

Ride Quality & Handling

 We can equate the ride quality and handling with that of the Honda city. To believe this, we have experience a drive in this vehicle. Simply superb. You'll want to keep on driving this vehicle. The shah rukh khan advt i.e., taking the route to mumbai instead of goa is apt. This advyt is simply not a goof up but is real feel for the persons who are behind the wheels of new genI10.

 

Final Words I 10 is a technological marvel. I am an Maruti fan. But after driving this vehicle, I feel the Hyundai is far far ahead of maruti in all respects. Now I am vivid fan of Hyundai and I recommend this car to my collegues who are having maruti cars to opt for Hyundai

 

Areas of improvement Not really required for this car at present. But the following features can be added to this car. (1) Electrically operated OVRM for IRDE2 Magna instead of manual operation (2) Defogger with rear wiper (3) Lamp for Boot area (4) Hyundai system.

I'll check and report on the mileage after the I service.
