i20 Magna only...

Below are some points I found out for i20 Magna. Please add if you have any more thoughts.

1. Engine is 1197 cc, same as i10 which should have been upgraded, but still it gives overall good performance. Kappa in my opinion is just a marketing word and should not make much difference. 0-60 in abt 10-12 seconds is almost double its current competitor, hence should have been taken care. Sluggish in 2nd gear as well.

2. Mileage in city with AC should be 10-12 in city and 16-18 on highways which is a decent result in my opinion as compared to swift.

3. Audio system (kenwood) inside is of good quality although its nonsense to remove the USB attachment from Magna.

4. Alloy wheels/rear wiper/height adjustable seats/keyless entry/front fog lamps are not of a big concern for Magna, although ABS is way to costly to incorporate.

5. Looks/space/interior finish and digital displays/plastic quality are way too better than its current competitors in the market which are intoxicating.

6. Hyundai normally charges high at launch, so price can drop at the arrival of Honda Jazz. Although it should depend on current market demand. So its dicey whether one should wait or not.

 Conclusion: if ready to sacrifice a bit of power on your right foot with style/finish/space, there is no better option than i20 (i will go for Magna only), otherwise go for swift.

Style, space, comfort, finishengine, fuel economy, costs on the higher side
