Hyundai i10 [2010-2017] User Reviews

Exterior Very good exterior. The front is very nice. I am using the new version of this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good, quite spacious. Comfort is ok as there is no headrest for the rear seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good engine. But not very good for highway driving specially with AC is on. Power is very less if ac is on.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good. I really enjoying driving the car in city. Handling is also very cheap.

Final Words This is a very good city car but not recommend for highway driving. handling is easy. Very good response from the engine. But lacks power when AC is on.  Milage is also good. All basic feature are provided in 1.2 magna. I have been using this car since june 2010 and drove almost 15000 km. I really donot find any problem in the engine or in any other area till now . So its a good deal all together.

Areas of improvement Lacks power when AC is on. No option for diesel.

Very nice looks, ride quality and less maintenance.But lacks power when AC is on.

Exterior Excellent look in compact sigment vehicle. Fog lamp not provided in i10 Magna 1.2 kappa2 model.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortness for driving is very good but back sit leg space should be more. AC is very powerfull. Recomended gear indicator as per speed is very usefull for new driving person.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I purchses i10 Magna 1.2 kappa2 vehicle in Oct. 2011 from Laxmi hyundai show room Vishakapatnam. Engine is completely soundless filling. I driven 3500KM and noticed that overall millege is 13.5 kmpl with AC in city and highway both. Reverse gear is not eassy. It's hard to change.

Ride Quality & Handling Nice filling, no problem for sitting for tall person. Very eassy to drive.

Final Words Very good car.

Areas of improvement Length of vehicle, millege & gear.

Space for driving tall person.Total length of vehicle.

Exterior Best in its class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Giver feeling of driving luxurious car initially thought of wagon R duo but then bought i 10 5 people can seat comfortably.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gear shift is smooth except reverse gear  you dont feel whether your car is running on petrol or lpg virtually no difference.

Ride Quality & Handling Satisfactory good ground clearence.

Final Words Bought on 11 nov 2012 at INR 477474 on road after discounts Electric red colour  freebies include floor mats, mud flaps, pioneer DEH 1490 music system with 4 pioneer 2 way coaxial gs 624 (@ 2500 extra) speakers ,no plates body cover steering cover 
I started filling auto LPG after 1600 kms LPG mileage with 50 % AC in city is 10.50 and highway 14.50 autoLPG cost 53.30/Kg.

Areas of improvement I dont know but mileage is on lower side odo clocks 3180 second service is not yet done.

Comfort style no difference on LPG/PetrolMileage

Exterior Great exteriors. Fluidic design is adorable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good enough space for a family of 4. 3rd person in the rear seat makes it uncomfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is peppy whilst driving in city traffic. Fuel economy that i got from my first 1500 kms of driving, City - 8.95 kmpl (Mumbai Traffic), Highway -12.88 kmpl (NH 17) good enough mileage for an automatic transmission car. Gearbox is smooth. The noise in the cabin is very less in the city, but on the highway the external noise is noticeable. I felt the need of using the L and 2 gear while driving in the hilly terrain(ghats). Engine vibrations are not noticeable in the cabin at normal speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is great. The suspension handles city pot holes and some off roading smoothly. Ground clearance is ample enough for city ride and a mild off roading in rural areas. The car is a breeze to drive in the city and handles very effeciently. The performance lags once you enter the highways, the car under steers on sharp turns and the smooth susupensions makes the car to slightly bounce on uneven highway roads. But the cars usp is its drive quality in the city traffic, everything else gets forgiven when you just have to handle the brakes in bumper to bumper traffic, rather than continous gear shifts and clutch brake accelarate. The legs dont ache like they do while driving a manual transmission in the traffic. This is exactly what I bought this car for and it definitely delivers a great city driving comfort.

Final Words I already owned an automatic transmission sedan. So i was quite prepared for the mileage this car gives. The car is giving a mileage of 10.1 kmpl after first service while driving in city traffic. The mileage also improves after the second service (the service center mechanic assured this). For an automatic car, I am happy with this mileage for the city. The car delivers a great ride quality in city and a satisfactory ride quality on highways. Sunroof is great fun while driving on the marine drive and bandra sea link in the night on weekends. Boot space is ample for my use. Music sysytem controls on the steering wheels are very usefull. The car has great connectivity options such as usb, aux and bluetooth. I changed my music system. You cant change the stock player, but I added an amplifier and some component speakers. Air conditioner of the car is good during night time, but it lacks in performance during afternoon heat. The car has a very good turning radius. Its a breeze to take a u-turn and other sharp turns in the city at lower speeds. Frankly speaking, since buying this car i have rarely driven my sedan In the city. Steering and seat adjustments are usefull. Pre sales and after sales service i encountered from shreeram hyundai was excellent.

Areas of improvement The car should have sported a 5 gear auto transmission like the brio automatic. It makes a huge difference in ride quality on highways and definitely improves the mileage by atleast 3-4 kmpl. The back seats are upright and not comfortable for long drives. Head rest for driver seat should be provided atleast in the top end. Telescopic steering adjustment should be provided. The music system is very basic In terms of audio output. The only reason for demanding these additional features is because i bought the top end and these are essential features. It would be great if rear air bags can be provided. The braking system is good with ABS, electronic brake force distribution will surely make a great add on while driving on highways. I paid 7.1 lakhs for this car(on road price-mumbai) which is definitely not a small amount for a small car and hence i feel the need for above Features which are lacking in the car. There is great room for improvement. Overall I am happy with my purchase and I really enjoy driving this car in the city.

Great driving comfort in city, nifty looks, decent interiors,.Not good enough for driving on highway.

Exterior Very veru nice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The seat,plastics are excellent.Space is adequate and suspension is brilliant.But the front beam by the side of the wind shields obstruct vision on turning.Seating is not comfortable.The bucket seats should be thought of.The seats do not give adequate leg and lumbar support especially the back seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is not good for AT version.10~11 kmpl in city.But engine is simply brillinat.Soundless, smotth like butter.The autogear is marvellous, a great boon to ladies in city drives.

Ride Quality & Handling Very very nice.

Final Words An excellent car.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency.

Seating::The seats do not provide that compact support  a normal sedan or hatchback pr;ovides.The round cuts of the rear seats make them less spacious.A bucket type seat can be thought of with more lumbar and thigh support the front beams by the side of the windshield need to be narrowed a bit.It is now obstructing vision on turning.For a tall boy design the vision should be marvellous.A Honda,Maruti or Ford provide so good vision in comparison.Certain lowering of dashboard and narrowing the front wind shield beams shall make the car excellent.

Comfort of a big car.Excellent engine,smooth drivingThe front beams obstruct vision while turning.Seating is not that comfortable,Fuel efficiency is poo

Exterior Dignified. Neither flashy, nor intimidating.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort comparable to a big car. Front seat comfort great. Even if you are six feet tall.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance and gear ratios superb. A few light years ahead of the Santro. Gives me 10/11 Km per litre in Bombay city. Upro 15 Kmpl on the Bombay-Pune route. Not great, but acceptable consider comfort and performance.

Ride Quality & Handling You can park this car in the smallest imaginable space in Bombay city. And, you don't have to be a Michael Schumacher to achieve that.

Final Words If you are considering a bigger car, buy the i10. You won't regret the trade-off.

Areas of improvement Every Indian wants greater fuel economy from his car -- any car. Other than this, I doubt, Hyundai or any other car maker can give you better value for money than the i10 Magna 1.2.

Superb parkabilityFuel economy not great in city with AC on

Exterior Nice look & stylish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good interior with good quality of Material,Nice features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good performance & fuel efficiency, In highways I have got 18+ average, in city 15.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome quality of ride,pickup & handeling specially when you ride in busy market in highway when you go 120+ then sometime you will realise car is notvery stable but in indian roads you will rarely get a chnace to ride 120+ speed & anyhow this is hatchback not SUV so you should not expect that stability in highways😎

Final Words I am using this car from last more than 2 years & I never faced any issue, a very good value for money car, I would strongly recommend if you are planning to buy hatchback then go for it.

Areas of improvement Should work on reat & boot space in upcomig versions on i10.

Mileage,performance,Quality of Material,lookRear Seats has less space

Exterior

Exterior are good, lacks the alloy,

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Good Looks Classy, I had a some noises from 3 doors which took nearly a year for the service to rectify partially.Seats are ergonomic

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance OK , lacks the punch & torque,which mean too many changing of gear, can be frustrating on sloping roads. Not a the HIGHWAY type of vehicle.  Fuel Economy Pathetic, Gear Box Good

Ride Quality & Handling

Good and Handling is great in City. The soft steering can be scary at High Speed in Sudden turns

Final Words

Go for it only if Fuel Economy & acceleration is not your concern.Specially it becomes more frustrating after long claims of being the most fuel efficient vehicle. Major service Issue.

Personally I don't recommend anybody to buy I10 as it fails its class requirement.

 

Areas of improvement  

Needs the right engine, as performance of the Engine is ultra poor. Another is the after sales service which is very pathetic. If you have a real problem there is no option to escalate things to higher authority. The service don't take ownership.  

 

Great Gear box, Steering, Space, Average suspensionPoor Mileage, bad engine.

Exterior

 Exterior is eligent n good in its segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space  and comfortwise it's good.One of the recommended car in its segment for space and comfort type in comparision to maruti wagon R and other brands.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very bitter and pathetic experience when it comes to engine performance.Faced lot of performance issues after 25000 Run ,issues resolved after lot of escalation and effort. Checked with lot of Hyundai service stations in NCR but CNG related issues can be resolved only at particular CNG fittment/service center.Still iam struggling for CNG related issue.

Ride Quality & Handling

 It is fine at this area.

Final Words

 Will not recommend Hyundai i 10 dealer fitted CNG car. Go for Maruti company fitted CNG cars.

Areas of improvement  

More CNG service station should be open.  CNG friendly engine should be tested/developed . Trained/expert CNG service engineers should be there in Hyundai service stations.

I10 is stylish car in its segment but depressed when it comes to performance wise.Poor pickup,High maintainence ,Poor service and less dealers for CNG related issue.
