Hyundai Elite i20 [2014-2015] User Reviews

Exterior: classy, stylish and no other ccar in this segment has a styling like i20 elite

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): 2 ton dash board is awesome, comfortable for driver as the steerings and seat hieght could be adjusted according to the driver. AC vents for the back seats keeps the car inside real cool with sun scrotching

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine performance is good, a bit of lag in the 3rd gear while moving up from 2nd. the gear box is soft and smooth, but i have faced issues while shifting down to 1st gear with proper clutch pressing, Fuel economy that i have recieved in city (bangalore) is 14kmpl which i feel is pretty good. Havent tested the milage on highways but can expect atleast 16 kmpl

 

Ride Quality & Handling: the light weight steering makes it super easy to drive in city with immediate turns. On highways, at high speeds the steering gains weight for better stability. Although the response is not same always, but easily managable. Ride quality is superb with minimal jerks with bumps (normal ones and not the one bangalore BBMP provides you which are life threatening for 2 wheelers)

 

Final Words: An awesome buy if you are looking for luxury in a hatchback.

 

Areas of improvement  : need to improve 3rd gear lags a bit more and the gaer box issue (i hope that is not only my car:P)

 

 

The style, design, rideability is very goodThe gear box is soft and easy except i have faced some issues with sifting back to first gear,

I bought Hyundai Elite i20 Sports Diesel in April 2015. This is one car I love to drive especially on highways. Have driven from New Delhi to Mumbai five times. Its a driver’s delight, very comfortable, very smooth gear shifting, have driven at 170 speed and didn’t find any jerk, shakiness and there is no anonymous sound. The engine runs very smooth. Awesome sound proofing and zero trouble till date. Breaking system is also very good with ABS and EBD.

I have driven this car continuously for 400kms without taking a single break and did not find any trouble.

I have also experienced that the fuel economy at 26 but without AC and an average speed of 98 and when we drive above 115 the fuel economy goes down to 19. With AC the fuel economy is 19 at the average speed of 95 which is pretty decent.  

 

Service is little expensive but if we are buying a premium hatchback then we have to bear with it. 

Delight to drive in long routes, good fuel economy.less spacious

Exterior: stylish hatch, one of the best in the market but finish can't be compared to new polo. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): great space inside, loads of features, great comforts though long journey may feels tired, coz of lack of back support. Lumbar support could have reduced that discomfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: bad engine performance, instead like to say lack of pickup when required. Economy is good, trust me guys, I have driven for approx. 440km on highway and got a mileage of 19 Kmol with AC on. So it's basically depends on how you drive. I drew at speed of around 90-110kmpl. Good fuel economy. Great gearbox very smooth and silky, never have to strain in city traffic.... Great driving in city traffic.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Maruti zen old model is still better than this....... Poor handling quality. Stearing responsiveness is not that great....... Not good at corners..... 

 

Final Words: descent car meet basic needs but with respect to power, pickup and handling it just don't do well....... Having said so, would also like to say that it got the linear acceleration, not a punchy drive.

Gear, Break, Staring Like Very GoodAntena Long. GPS not available, Need to Lead Light in Front Light

Exterior Alpha romeo look from rear, nice body curves, awesome front grill. Antipinch driver window. Diamond cut 16" Alloy adds more beauty to this sexy car. The rear view camera placement is also very cute and innovative.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features of all luxury brand in Rs. 9 lacs is really appreciable. Be it chiller compartment or arm rest cum storage. The blue illuminations keeps you awake and active during night driving. Ample amount of room space infact largest in its segment. Hyundai innovation & design team has design this beauty from all the aspects tiny things like USB port, AUX In to dual charging points to big things like Seats, clutch rest pedal.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I own Asta 1.4 Diesel but never felt driving a Diesel car. Silent, smooth and economical in all aspects be it engine noise, clutch or gearbox all smooth. Earlier I was having SWIFT ZDI but now I feel like an Elite premium member.

Ride Quality & Handling Soft & responsive steering in city or highway. Yes bit tough to control during high speed but yes over all unique in its class.

Final Words Great Innovation from team Hyundai. Kudos to them!

Areas of improvement Spare wheel in Asta should be an Alloy, side airbags. Touch panel for AC & music system with Navigation.

Rear look Alpha romeo type, great exterior, awesome interior features of Luxury segment in budgetNavigation and spare wheel should be an alloy

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I drove this car till date 1000Km and I am not happy with its Fuel economy, I have Sportz Diesel car and till today it is clocking 13Km per Liter(Diesel) in  city + Highway together.

My driving style is good and I am driving car from last 17 years , when I took test drive that time sales person told me that you can get up to 20kmpl keeping my driving style in mind.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ok, but not great to the claim they have

Final Words

 If looking for fuel economy then pls take the Honda Amaze 

Areas of improvement  

 Reduce to 5 gears(forward gears), as when we are at highway that time also we need to switch between 5th and 6th gear which is really not addining any value to Indian driving condition.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Pick up, StyleFuel Economy is poor

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) More spacious than swift and polo, good music system and rear ac vents are fine and comfortable for four persons.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine performance is nice with nice pickup. No sound as i bought a petrol one. For the fuel thing I got 18.57 km/l Mileage on highway, in city 12/13 km/l. With gear thing it works fine smooth also the gear indecator helps you very well to when you have to change the gear.

Ride Quality & Handling:  Ride quality is very good. I will give 5 score for ride quality.

Final Words One of the best luxury hatch back car ever. I was waiting for this car from last 2 years and researching when it gona launch. Within 6 months i have driven more than 8000km and my mileage is around 12 which is not bad in city that too after first service. The automatic head lamps are welcome feature as this helps in lot many places.

Areas of improvement Fuel economy in city.

Good Style. One of the best luxury hatch back car ever.none

Exterior If the looks of Hyundai vehicles weren't striking enough, the company has made the i20 look even more exhilarating. I know there have been many more good looking cars, but this one surely makes it the most outstanding of the lot. The 'fluidic' design has impressed me a lot and I don;t miss a chance to pose with my car wherever i take it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The quality of the interior is quite premium and my family also loves it. The car seats are comfortabe and the quality of materials give a very good feel. The most important and different feature is the music system that comes with so many compatible devices. I can connect my i-pod or phone through bluetooth or just plug in the pen-drive for anyone else's pen-drive. The steering controls add to the convenience.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.2-litre petrol engine is a underdog, people say it is underpowered, but I think 82bhp of power is perfect enough for the city and highway usage. Though the company claims 18.6kmpl as the fuel economy, I have managed to get a maximum of 14kmpl on the highway. In the city, the car has given me 11-12kmpl, which is not that great, but still manageable for me. The gearbox is fantastic as the gear shifts are smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling The steering is nice and soft, I mean, doesn't give a heavy feeling and there is no difficulty in using it in traffic or ghats. The car is stable at high speeds and very smooth even through bad roads.

Final Words I owned a Maruti 800 before and the i20 has been a very good upgrade for me. Right from looks to features to comfort, I have everything that me and my family wanted from a family car.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency.

Looks, features, comfortFuel Efficiency

Exterior Best of the class looks not less than any european model...particularly the rear view resembles the one in Mercedez and top class from the side view.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome interiors fentastic dash board particulary driving in the nights will make u feel wow, charging port could have been mounted may be in a different place.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth and gear box should have been better...mileage is 14kms/ltr and cant expect more than that from such a big monster.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent cant feel a bit even at a speed of 120kms/hr, and handling is as smooth as butter.

Final Words Excellent vehicle within the class almost not less than any sedan class,for those who wants some muscular, stylish, fully loaded features and comforts, not a right one for who bothers for Mileage.

Areas of improvement Mileage is a concerned factor should work out on this and some improvement in gear box.

Style,Muscular,Comfort and PerformanceMileage 14kms/ltr (wouldnt say coz in hyundai we cannot expect)
