Hyundai i10 [2010-2017] User Reviews

 

Exterior I like new i10 Kappa2 s' looks more than old one.Rear looks real good and better looks everywhere than Swift,Figo and Ritz and U-VA. New colours Carbon Grey,Ice Silver and Thunder Black are nice.It is new-The biggest thing why it is cute.Turn indicators are from i20 and Oct 10' launch SUV Santa-Fe.Lack of Alloys but comes Dealership fitted Alloy Wheels.5 Alloys cost Rs 480,00.Fog lamps better than before.Rear fog lamps present now.New i10 is far better than old i10.  

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Grey-Brown dashboard looks nice.BlueTooth and SMAC(Steering Mounted Audio Controls)now present.Airbag now in Sportz(O)Just launched Sportz(O).Claim the new one is very comfortable.Spacious too. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Kappa2 and iRDE2 New engines are very peppy.Best in class fuel economy in 20.3 Kpml.(Has seen in website)I opted for AT as I have 6 Manual cars like Indigo,Zen,Fiat Linea,Corolla,Esteem and Honda Jazz.AT is more peppy too.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride as good as old i10 but improved handling.Better than Micra,I have it also.Ride of my Indigo needs improvement but this is phonomeal.

 

Final Words Bluetooth on new i10 betters i10. Prices from 3.47-5.91 Lakh.Book one.

 

Areas of improvement Nothing in new one. i10 is better now.

 

Cute looks for the new model,best-in class mileageA nice equipped car,no con.

 

Exterior The exteriors are the best in its segment. No other car matches it. When I bought the car in Nov, 2009 It was like love at first sight. The head lights, mirrors, etc are too good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I was looking for spacious interior in this segment and i10 sportz  1.2 kappa  has rally fulfilled it. The seats are comfortable and the steering is easy to handle. The location of gear handle is such that it becomes easy to operate with least effort. The music system is good andoverall the fully loaded version is value for money.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I  bought my i10 in nov'09 and uptill now I have not faced any problem with my car. Not even one I had to open the bonnet. If timely and regular service id done (As per company manual) then I dont think this car will have any problem. The pick-up is good, power steering is comfortable and maneuvering is easy. With A/c I am getting a fuel economy of 14-15 kmpl and with out A/c around 16-17 kmpl.

 

Ride Quality & Handling As I mentioned earlier, the car is very comfortable and easy to maneuver. It is made for city driving i.e even in heavy traffic you will feel easy to drive. When it highway, you wont feel that you are driving. It just glides on the highway. Too good to explain my Express highway experience. 5/5.

 

Final Words Any body who is planing to buy a car in 5-6 L budget should go for i10 sportz version. It is fully loaded with power windows, power steering, music system hence looking at broader picture, it is really value for money. If you insist and have power to convince your dealer then you may also get some free-bees like mats, seat covers etc.  One more advise always purchase company made seat covers and Car cover. They fit well and look good.

 

Areas of improvement None as of now.

 

Good Total PackageFuel economy average

Exterior

 Exteriors have been designed in a very good manner...looks more attractive than earlier type

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Improved interiors with dual colours, comfortable drive, less space on rear side, good that power mirrors introduced in Sportz model

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is very good, Fuel average is between 10-12 in City with AC on, while 14 with AC off...Highway average with BPCL fuel gives an Average of 17 with AC on and 19 with AC off..

However Hyndai vehicles gives excellent average with IOCL fuels and BPCL fuels...All Hyundai users pls try it...you will notice the change...

Ride Quality & Handling

 Superb riding, good suspension, Excellent driving comfort....drivers should see the RPMs while changing the gears in AT, it should not exceed 2000 RPM while accelerating...or else the average shall go down...

Overtaking is not at all a problem....press the accelerator fast and the vehicle zooms...Hilly area ridings is not a problem...can climb in D mode need not put in 2...

Final Words

New VTVT technology has surely improved the AT vehicle performance...it is really a value for money

Areas of improvement  

Should provide auto mirror close facilities in Sportz version and the Foldable keys option too...

Excellent driving in City & Highway, Value for MoneyLess boot space and leg space for rear seating

 

Exteriors & Interiors (perception) Interior gadgets are up to date with soft touch, rear passenger legroom is cramped. AC could have been better.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is at 11.5 KMPL (City & Highway Combined) with AC always ON. (6/10), Automatic gear box is cool with instant overdrive function (8/10).

 

Ride Quality & Handling EPS handles well. Expect Body roll while cornering at high speeds. Straight line Braking was a little disconcerting. (7/10).

 

Final Words A good car to own and drive in city. Value for money when compared against the competition

 

Areas of improvement AC, braking, rear passenger legroom and fuel efficiency, High driving position, ride is plush on ‘Indian Roads’, good suspension. Stable at straight line speeds of 100 KMPH (8/10), Engine is peppy, city driving is very pleasant thanks to the Automatic gears (8.5/10). Highway driving is decent (7/10). Exteriors are modern and design is very functional.

 

Peppy, Automatic Gears and StylingRear Passenger Legroom , Fuel Efficiency and Brakes

 

Exterior OK.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good but less comfort as while driving, visiblity is not so clear due front glass reflection due to biege interior.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance but very bad fuel economy as I got only 9 km/lit even after 1.5 year. I complain at every service for the fuel economy but they are not able to improve, so i have to go for CNG kit in which I got 14km/Kg which is very low in compare to other brand of 1.2l engine. So kindly any body is planning to purchase AT version than running cost will be too expensive and day by day it will be extra burden to you as pertrol is going costlier.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Driving with AT version gives mental satisfaction and also gives comfort in heavy traffic at the cost of fuel efficiency.

 

Final Words Better to go for any diesel version or if intrested in AT version than confirm the Gear system whether it is 4 or 5 which makes more difference in mileage.

 

Areas of improvement Only 4 auto gears are there in AT 1.2 instead of 5 in manual which lowers the fuel efficiency.

 

good interior & music systemvery bad mileage due to 4 gear in AT & also no special user manual given for AT

Exterior Like the exteriors, best of the lot amongst the segment. There a quite a few colours to choose from as well.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fair enough features for a small car. Did a 200 kms drive once and a couple of days later I was in an 'Ayurvedic' clinic for a back massage. Space is comfortable for 4 people and 1 small child. I would not travel more than 10 kms on this car whilst on the back seat with other 2 adults beside me. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I bought this car whilst I was in the city but since I started using highways more frequently I can feel the need for a bigger and better engine. I feel like a turtle on the road in this

Ride Quality & Handling Ok.

Final Words Good for short family trips. More like a ladies car as far as I am concerned. My wifey likes it so I am going to give it to her and buying myself a Rapid or Vento

Areas of improvement FE is really poor. I understand I own an Automatic version but still considering the lack of power you would expect atleast 12 kmpl mileage when company is claiming 15kmpl. I get 8kmpl even on my Prado overseas. For i10 I get only 9.5kmpl !!!!!

Small car hence excellent for city drivePoor FE

Exterior Excellent exteriors, rear view side mirrors need to be smaller and prone to damage.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent but seat is a bit hard.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Big problem with automatic transmission. Taken to Concept Hyundai three times. They are not able to solve problem.Pl let me know reliable workshop which can solve the problem. I am a senior citizen having driven manual transmission cars for 40 yrs. Regret buying automatic transmission. Hyundai cannot do any thing and  the staff in the workshops have poor knowledge of automatic transmission.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is poor due to mismatch with engine rpm and transmission. Suspension is stiff.

Final Words Having visited hyundai show room a no of times , do not know where to go Unless  I get a solution I will be forced to sell the car.

Areas of improvement After sales service team should be sound.

StylingAuto transmission mal functioning

 

Exterior Is price Appropriate but not that good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Again IS price appropriate.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Not at all GooD.!! millage is just 9 in city and 12 on highway..but has very smooth gearbox>>. <<engine performance ,especially acceleration is ver much dULL.. top spEED is just 100.!! engine Power is not  good i think better buy than this is Beat SAntro or waganaR.!! approprieatly the car is not good for middle class family because fuel consumption just suks.!!.must say finnance tight people should not go for this vehicle.

Ride Quality & Handling Again very much dull in this AREA it topels at speed of 70km/hr, and afraid to  touch the 70 mark interms of handling i think <<mauriti omni>> gains more stability than this vehicle.!!..very hard on bumps.!! .weight ratio is also not maintaned jumps high when crossing seedbreaker at speed of 20km/hr.

Final Words I reccomemd not to buy this vehicle.!! because resale value is very bad personnaly i have i10 sportZ frm abt 8 months<<6000 km driven>>  it is well maintaned, no scratches n whn checked out its resale value n it was just 230000 it had depriciated to about 40% in short time span of 8 months cant say much about the service thing because jus taken once to service centre till date..if intrested in vehicle just try it at spped of 70 u will realize how waste of money iT iS.  

Areas of improvement Aceept for design <<interior n exterior>>  all the phases, n esspecially if hyundai want to maake it sucessful for middle claass they should do some R&D aceept for exterior and interior look.

Interior, smooth gear changefuel economy,suspension,bad handling at high speeds

 

Exterior Okay, better than other small cars, we like its look.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Okay for a small car, me and my kids like it.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very bad ( 6 to 8 KMPL) within city, 10KMPL on highway.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Okay, but make the noise level inside car when all window close is very high.

 

Final Words Very bad fuel economy for AT version, the claim is 18 but i could even get more than 10 even on highway. Talked to dealer but they do not do any thing. I was told that At version will have average around 16 but getting half of it only.

 

Areas of improvement Fuel economy should be better for automatic version, or should be told to customer upfront. It becomes a  very costly affair as i was expecting average aroun 16 and got only half of it. I talke to dealer and they tol me that after few service it wil get better but using car from last 10 months and 2 service has bene done but the improvement is from 6 to 8 only in city.

 

Nice, Small carVery bad fuel economy (6 to 8 KMPL)
