Review in a nutshell

Looks Exterior : Amazing! Great job by Hyundai. Looks a bit Honda Civic-ish from the front. Rear is a bit ugly.

Looks Interior : Extremely good. The beige interior is the best in class. You will fall in love at first sight.

Comfort : Easily accommodates 5 Adults. Adjustable steering is a big plus for tall people.

Engine : 1.1L with 67 bhp. More than enough for city ride. Little underpowered in highways. Pick up is less with 5 people with AC on, ie the car won’t start off after a speed breaker at 3rd gear.

Breaking : Pretty good, but could have been better. My model does not have ABS.

Power steering : This is one of the smoothest steering I have ever seen. Hair pin curve can be negotiated with a single hand. A big big advantage.

Air Condition : Too Good. You feel the chill instantly.

Mileage : 15kmpl in city-20% AC. 20kmpl in Highway-100% AC.

Top speed : 145kmph.

Gear : Awesome positioning of gear. Shifting is smooth. No issues.

Clutch : Major drawback. Point clutch makes it difficult in heavy traffic. Clutch has to be released at the exact point, failing to which engine goes off.

Dashboard : Instrument is at the right position with several indicators.

Head Lamps : Bad. Extremely bad. 12V lamps without fog lamps are just not enough for night ride. I struggle even in city ride. Highway night ride in i10 ? No. I won’t risk that.

Front Windshield : Major Disadvantage - The beige interiors reflect on the windshield during day time. Sometimes it becomes nearly impossible to drive under trees where sunshine falls in a random manner on the windshield. Hope Hyundai fixes this.

Suspension : No issues. Humps are easily negotiated.

Boot Space : Little cramped. Just not enough for a long drive with 4 Adults.

All in all a good release from Hyundai.

Price : 4,13,000 INR - Annual Road tax payment( 800 INR per year )

Dealer : Advaith, Residency Road.

City : Bangalore.
