Hyundai i10 [2010-2017] User Reviews

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I love its interior because of light brown color, perfect boot space for lugguage, and comfortable seats etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I think engine is pretty good, I have driven my car apprx. 3000 km, according to me I have got 16-17 kilometer per ltr. on highway with  100% AC.Its pick is too good. and the place of gear is very comfortable.

Ride Quality & Handling A very good feeling to drive this car and easy to handling. I DRIVE SOMETIME 350 KM IN 6 hours but my journet is too comfortable.

Final Words I would like to reccomend to all my friends to buy this car with closed eyes. in my family my brothers also owned this car for 3 years.

Areas of improvement Mileage should be something more, paint is too soft it should be more hard. on  the hilly road engine gives poor pickup with AC.

Awesome exterior& interior, good looking, good mileage(if u are a perfect driver)less power,poor reverse gear

i10 happens to be my first car with my hard earned money, so my review will probably help other first time, car owners like me. I'm 5ft 7 in tall and have driven her on highways quite a few times. (Blr - Coimbatore). I also use her to commute to my workplace most of the times.

Mods - i have replaced the stock bulb with Osram night breaker bulbs for better night vision clarity within legal limits.

I would like to change the stock tyres for wider tyres for better roadgrip and suspension.

Exterior

Pros - Jelly bean headlamps, with curved rear. Looks proportionate and that too all black color for me. Not many i10's with black in Blr

Cons - not any to mention. Considering she is a better looker than Estilo's, Figo's, Wagon R and even Swift

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Pros - Airy cabin, beige dashboard, get a proper view of the road and do not feel like you sit way down, unlike in a Ritz or WagonR. I found the dashboard and the downward sitting posture a issue in many cars. I did experience this in Figo as well. If you can't see the road well or feel the dashboard jutting out then i guess you will not have enough confidence to drive on roads. I also test drove the Polo diesel and Fiat Punto (though out of my price bracket) and felt the view from drivers seat to be commanding.  This is the basics to buy any car, step in, sit and see how you feel as a driver driving down the car. Do you feel assured that you can easily see from end-to-end and also be able to drive well.

Cons - space is ok for 3 average sized people at the rear seat. Also i would liked to have some underthigh support and more cushioning for factory fitted seats. Eon though a class below is better equipped for seating than i10 suprisingly for a driver. Also interiors i feel is better built in an EON when compared to i10

I found the clutch, brake positioning to be a bit high and awkwardly placed. You have to tilt your ankle at a certain deg. I feel Accent has a much better placement of Clutch, Brake and Accelerator than i10.. (probably because it is a sedan). This is one of the other aspects any first time buyer should check, sit in, try the gearshift and see if you are comfy, adjust the seating position, tilt the steering etc to get a feel for it. Do you drive long distances or short or both? I did not check this part as a first time buyer:-(

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Pros - Excellent, smooth engine with 80 bhp on tap, smooth gearbox, effortless driving.

Cons - none really, though when you switch on the AC, you do feel a drop in power. But this is something not to be bothered about really...

Ride Quality & Handling

 Well here is where i thought other cars like Swift and Fiat outscore the Hyundai. Driving characteristic is bumpy and she doesn't handle the bad roads well. You will have an unsorted ride on Indian roads. Soln - replace the stock tyres with a better profile and ask your service centre to adjust your suspension setup to be slightly stiff.

I test drove a Swift and man, i was really impressed with it's driving dynamics over bad roads. Though i must say, i felt like i was sitting in a tank:)

Final Words

 Nice car, VFM, looks good, drives ok, comfortable on highways, i drove at an avg. speed of 100-110 on Blr - Coimbatore highway and it does not make me feel tired. A better profile tyre and a stiff suspension would greatly enhance it's driving characteristics.

Of course, one can't have it all in such a segment, but i believe it scores well in most departments and averge in some. Go for it.

Areas of improvement 

Already mentioned above

 

Jelly bean looks, neat looking rear and spaceClutch, Brake positioning, suspension

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors look great, I think they are worth the price tag. The front leg room is really great and the knee room for the rear seats is also very good. Boot space is pretty decent enough. The boot lamp is a good one. exterior looks are impressive in the all new Next gen i10, as it is called now. Head lamps and the fog lamps are stylish.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven it only for about 300kms till now. So I really cannot comment on the mileage. However, it is on the lower end for now. Hope it improves after the 1st servicing. The gearbox is very smooth and easy to shift. I like this feature which scores over the other car makers.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride is pretty smooth and the handling on the other hand is very smooth. The power steering comes with an electric motor assisted which makes it more reliable. The car's handling is very good even at higher speeds which makes it more safer on highways.

Final Words This car scores over the likes of Swift for its good looks and the fuel efficiency. Both swift and i10 get a 1200cc engine. This makes the i10 more fuel efficient and powerful as it has a lighter body, not compromising the interior space. The engine is pretty silent too. Totally worth a buy.

Areas of improvement Barring few pick up issues with the AC turned on, the i10 is a great!

Looks, Handling, Seating, Music System, Powerful AC, Smooth GearBoxPick up is less in the 2nd gear with AC turned on.

I am having Sportz 1.2 kappa2 which have very cute exterior look with stylish design. Hyundai has large number of service network which makes the customers to drive any corner in the country.😕

1.2 Sportz version is having fully loaded inbuilt features. Enough leg space for people below 5.10 height. and very comfortable enjoyable in driving. Sportz version is having great music system and automated adjustable mirros.

Powerful engine but iam not verymuch satisfied about the mileage bcaz iam getting 12km in city and 16km on highway without A/C, and 10km and 15km with A/C. Airconditioning is powerful and very easy to handling the car and engine response and pick up is very good.

Finally it is worth for money.  Now i10 is also coming with LPG kit. But as petrol prices are increasing hyundai has to facilitate LPG kit for existing cars also. and please provide any tips to improve the mileage of the car.

powerful and silent engine, good look, interior space and pickupnothing

Exterior Awesome. I have metalic red colour i10. The new colour of i10 is eye catching.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It beats the other cars in the same segment. I had a budget of 4.5L and made some reaserch on different cars under 4.5L budget. I did,t find any other car with such rich exterior as well as interior.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I am not really bother about milage. I have never checked the milage. It gives me very good feel when I drive it. I am proud of my i10.

Ride Quality & Handling I am also driving Zen Estilo for sometime, but the comfort i10 provides is immeasureable. Shifting gear is really very smooth. The space is sufficient for four adults and a kid. Delear here in Palanpur is good and caring.

Final Words With the budget of 4.5L, I fee, l one should go for i10.

Areas of improvement NA.

Excellent interiors & exteriors, comfortsnot really

Exterior Very attractive car who catch the eyes in first look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All features like power windows,ac,and plastic quality is very fine.inside enough space for leg room and headroom.when u sit in i10 you feel very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very fine but little bit expensive as fuel economy.gear box is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome and u can't compare to this with any other car of this catagorie.Doubtless it is the best in catagorie of this price range.

Final Words Tommorow I am going to purchase hyundai verna 1.6 crdi sx but i am thinking about my loving i10 .So no need to say it is thr best car for city and for highway under 110 kmph it is also very good.

If anyone comparing the car of this catagorie he should go for i10 deffinately,bcoz in lower budget you will get the luxury of much expensive cars as you should know kappa engine is made of aluminium and produce very good power.

Finally its the rockstar.

Areas of improvement NA.

Handling is very smooth in city.pick up is very good and its the car u can drive without tiredness.Nothing

Exterior Good,The Curves and the exterior design matches with the Hyundai Standards.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is comparitevly Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I had to change to ECM, the Governor to improve the efficiency and the mileage. still the unwanted acceleration was not arrested... the mileage is too baad that I felt selling the car off.. I have a Swift Petrol which definetely out performs I10 by ages.

Ride Quality & Handling The acceleration is very poor comparitively.

Final Words Even I did multiple R&D's to finalize on I10. It is been 1 year now.. still the mileage is very poor. The performance of the Engine is deterioting Day by day. I have to change the ECM again to improve the mileage and efficiency.. GOD knows how much it is going to cost me.. I have a Swift ZXi Petrol also with me.. Switched to Swift Zxi for the time being,, Cant afford I10 with this Fuel Economy.. Swift gives me a mileage of 15-16 with AC and also the accelaration and the comfort in driving is far far better than I10.

Areas of improvement Perfomance of the Engine, Mileage.

Exterior DesignPoor Mileage, Poor Performance, Very poor ECM ( MPFI) Accelerates unwantedly...

Exterior Exterior of the Car is normal, as we saw in the market the cars freom low sagment has rich exterior look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There are chances to improve the interior like change the desh board in wooden style, the seats in leather and the meter in complete digital.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance of the car is so sooooooooo. where as the matter about fuel economy, that is the worst. There is only 12kmpl fuel economy, which is not acceptable in Petrol Car as well as costly car. They claimed over 18kmpl and vehicle performace regarding fuel efficieancy is worst.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words No one make mistake to purchase Hundai i10.

Areas of improvement The compnay must thing about the  a Avaerage categrey of Indain who have used this car so I saw whole the Person those are using this car u can ask they all are say only pl. improve the fuell average Capcity.

Exterior Good looking car !! A Attractive Car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent interior looks and features. Big space in a small car, Power steering is good. Automatic rear view adjustment is also a good experience.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Less Vibration, Good Gearbox.

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfort riding  in city as well as highway. Riding over 100 kmph on highway, it feels comfort  and smooth.  Superb handling and stability.

Final Words I have purchased my i10 Magna Kappa-2 in the month of Dec '11 after a heavy research. After 1 year of riding,  i am so happy to purchased my first car as i10. I strongly recommended this car for a small family.

Areas of improvement Fuel Economy is a matter of concern for i10. I am observing mileage from the day one. After 1 year i am not able to get 14-15 kmpl from my car. Secondly, i feel that colour coating on Bumper need more attention.
