My Personal Experience with Hyundai i20 i-gen CRDi facelift

Exterior The car has been designed really well with the exterior looks riding on Hyundai's new Fluidic Design concept. The design has been well competitively designed to meet the new generation's expectations of styling. The newly designed headlamps add to the elegance of the car compared to the old model. The head lamps look more aggressive and filled with life than the old model which was introduced in 2009.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Amazing! Thats the right word. The interiors are well designed with dual tone colors. The seats are quite comfortable and the driving column is a feast for the  eye. The vertically adjustable seat for the driver is a added boon for the person with height less than 160 cms. The cabin is very spacious and quiet while the car is on move. 3 clinicallt obese people can easil and comfortable sit in the rear seats!

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The new turbo charged engines are really powerful. There is a turbo lag below 1700 rpm but the newly designed engine has reduces the turbo lag to a good extent compared to other cars in the market which have the lag upto 2000 rpm. THe fuel economy ranges from 13 to 18 km/l and totally depends on how you drive your car. Details are written in my blog. The addition of the 6th gear has added to the ride quality at high speeds and improved the fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is solid. The suspension has improved way beyond the one of the previous verstion. Handling is also worth mentioning. Cornering at high speeds at a curve feels very safe with the new steering brakes assisted with rear+front disc brakes coupled with ABS and EBD.

Final Words The best car on the price range. Its worth considering it even when you compare it with other so called sedan cars in the price range of 7-9 Lakhs cos Hyundai i20 has got much better feel, luxury, comfort and optimum space for the said price.

Areas of improvement They can work upon the Turbo Lag. Its not so bad but yea thats the only place where I found space for improvement.
