Hyundai i20 [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior They are quite good, especially from the front and the sides. the bulged out bonnet looks great.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This a fully loaded car with every feature a hatchback can have. Space and comfort are benchmark. it easily beats all other hatchbacks in terms of space (except jazz).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Straight line acceleration is quite good. infact i have even done burnouts with this car. fuel economy in city could have been better.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pretty good upto speed of 60kmph. above this if you encounter with a porthole, it becomes crashy. handlind on highways is not good. the steering never weighs up as much as the one on other cars does. so it needs getting used to.

Final Words Overall it is quite a good car. after driving 3506kms my car doesnt has even a single puncture. I really like the thickness if the apollo tyres my i20 is shod with.

Areas of improvement Ride quality and initial turbo lag which makes city driving quite boring.

 

Features, braking, revvy engine, air conditioner and space.initial turbo lag, steering doesnt weigh up as you increase speeds.

 Dear Friends

If you are in Bangalore and planning to buy Next Gen i20,my suggestion is to avoid Trident Hyundai,Sankey Road. They have given all false committments and  the car was delivered during the first week of May, without fuse for the wipers and in a very shabby and dirty condition. Foot mats provided do not suit NextGen i20. Car was delivered without the manual and the two year warranty. Seat covers were not available and they were deliberately suggesting non Hyundai supplied seat covers saying that they will be Ok for the new car. They have recommended a particular Sun film saying it is approved by RTO, collecting Rs3500 for it. Later on ,over phone they have refused to give it in writing saying that they are absolutely not responsible and if I am interested, they can remove the same at a price.  Foot mats were the only item I have received as complimentary and they have a given wrong supply. Now they say that mats for Next Gen are available and if I want, I can  buy the right ones now. I was not offered a single rupee discount for this car, but it was delivered with wrong suppies and short supplies for which they have absolutely no regrets.

Though the car is really good and I have no regrets for selecting this car, I have deep apprehensions  about depending on Trident Hyundai for future servicing and parts supply.

Areas of improvement  

Hyundai should focus on Customer requirements and improve on dealer -customer relations.

I am surprised that Hyundai as a company do not have the responsibility of making the manual available with the car when it is delivered.

Excellent car with real value for moneyDealer response and attitude is very bad

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Had problem with the engine performance few montha ago, problem was suddden slowdown of the speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Initially the ride quality was satisfactory, later on i started facing the problems. total KM run so far is only 26K Kms.

Final Words I am a single user of the Hyundai i20 1.4 Asta diesel KA05MH7617 but my experience is not good. I have been driving for more than 15 years and I have used Honda Accord 2.4 & Nissan Sunny 1.6 models earlier (when i was in the MiddleEast) and i had absolutely no problems with any of those models. I suggest you to reconsider your purchase decision if anyone is looking for Hyundai I20, just donot go for it because of Hyundai's wide service network, pleasant front line staff etc. I am not a happy customer because of the poor quality check done in the build, spent Rs8.4Lakh for this car!!! if any of the Hyundai service manager or marketing manager for more feedback, they can reach me on +91 7702004976.

Areas of improvement Hyundai needs to decide if they wish to retain customers! I am now decided to change my car!

None compared to leading brandsQC not done properly. AC. Very Poor experience

Exterior Fresh look, as I got my car delivery today only i am fallen in love with this car engine perofrmance is like thumbs up it feels like you driving the beast. u can feel the power acellerating it , i have driven swift vdi but you some where that 75bhp needs gear n after some speed you have to drag it push it hard n i20 is far more away from it no doubt swift is not that much costlier but what actually u gettng in the car. Nothing! so close ur eyes n book i20 else test drive it and you judge it better :).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Thumbs for ineterior and comfort. It is loaded with gadgets space is more than polo figo n swift.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I have told you earlier it is a beast when the trubo kicks it you wnt get when it will touch 100+, slightly dissapointed with fuel ecconomy , but still it all depends upon your driving  :).

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is not that much up to mark after 100+.

Final Words Every car has +ve -vee side but this car hs lot of +ve side rather than -ve :) . drive it you will feel the power n comfort :)).

Areas of improvement Braking and handling after 100+ thats it . :).

Interior engine drive quality .Braking is not that much good after 100km/hr

Hi All,

This is my experience of the first month in my i20 diesel.

KMS Covered: 200+ (commuting to/back office)

FE so far: 16 ~ 17

Observations:

1. Light steering makes it fun to drive.

2. Soft suspension keeps the bumps crawling up the chassis.

3. AC is a chiller.

4. Stereo plays music from bluetooth,via USB without any lags.

5. No steering rattle's till now.

6. All ABS + EBD makes it a confident car on the road.

7. Rear view mirror works like a charm inthe night.

8. Parking sensors + Reverse camera are an absolute gift specially for Noida parking.

9. Horn is on the meeker side or may be people dont wanna get out of my way.

10. Tire noise is present not to a state where it gets annoying.

11. No engine noise coming into the cabin even when driving with windows rolled down.

12. Steering controls are a necessity.

13. Seats are on a lower side ( you have to push ur self up when getting out of the car)

14. Back seats are comfortable (acc to my better half since only she got the chance of sitting at the back.)

15. White colour car is too tough to keep clean.

These were some of the things which were in my mind, more questions are welcome.

Good all round performer.Seat height.

Exterior Extraordinary looks, they will just keep others enviously looking at your car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are as good as any premium sedan. Features like the rain sensing wipers and tilt and telescopic steering will even keep the Verna wanting more.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol engine-not exactly underpowered, but frequent gear changes required(only with the A/C). Without the A/C, even the petrol engine is a very good performer. Its giving me a fab FE of 13.5-14 kmpl. (driven 5000kms). Overtaking will need frequent gear changes.

Ride Quality & Handling Super light steering(boon in the city and bane on the highway, you have to decide according to your need). Handling-no problem upto 140kmph (tried and tested).

Final Words Great car, full of features and premiumness. A perfect package. Also the sportz variant is recommended. Asta is good but a little expensive...!!!

Areas of improvement Handling can be improved a bit. Also the 1.2 petrol engine can churn out more power.

Looks, Features, Braking, Low maintenance cost, Space, Large Boot, Premium feel.Sluggish petrol engine, a little too light steering

Exterior YOU WILL JST LOVE THE EXTERIOR. FIRST I DECIDED TO GO FOR DZIRE AND DIDNT EVEN WANTED TO GO FOR I20 TEST DRIVE. AS THE SHOWROON PERSON GOT THE CAR I DROVE IT AND WAS JUST IN LOVE WITH IT. THE LOOK ARE JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL. LOVELY DESIGN, MUSCULAR LOOK FROM THE FRONT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) INTERIOR QUALITY IS JUST SUPERB. FIT AND FINISH IS UP TO THE MARK. CAR IS TOO SPACIOUS FOR 5, BOOT SPACE IS AWSOME. SITTING IS TOO COMFORTABLE AND CAN FEELS PREMIUM. FEATURES ARE MINDBLOWING. I REALLY LOVE THE FOLDING MIRRORS WHICH IS VERY VERY USEFULL. AC IS TOO POWERFULL, REAR VIEW CAMERA CANT LEAVE WITHOUT IT. MUSIC SYSTEM IS AWSOME AND THE STOCK SPEAKERS IS OF GOOD QUALITY. FEATURES LIKE BLUETOOTH, AUDIO MOUNTED STEERING, AUTO RAIN SENSING WIPER, ETC ATE FIRST IN CLASS.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ENGINE IS SUPER SILENT, SMOOTH THOUGH DEISEL CAR MAKE LOTS OF NOISE THIS CAR ENGINE IS AWSOME. IT GIVE ME 16 ON CITY AND 20  ON HIGHWAY FIRST SERVICE YET TO BE DONE.

GEAR SHIFTING IS SMOOTH ADN CAN BE UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT EASILY.

Ride Quality & Handling I READ LOTS OF BLOG AND REVIEW.... PEOPLE JUST SAY CAR STEERING IS LIGHT, UNSTABLE AT SPEED ABOVE 100.... BUT ITS ALL WRONG IT RUNS LIKE A ROCKET AND CRUISES COMFORTABLY AT HIGH SPEED. HANDLING AT CITY AND HIGHWAY IS JUST COOL.

Final Words BEFORE GOING TO ANY OTHER CAR I SUGGEST ALL TO TAKE A TEST DRIVE. U WILL LOTS THIS DIESEL SALOON.

Areas of improvement I HAVE ONE PROB WITH THIS CAR I.E THE SUSPENSION IS SOFT AND CAN HARDLY ABSORB SHOCK OF POTHHOLES WHICH MAKE THE CAR RIDE BAD. I REQUEST THE HYUNDIA CO. TO RE-TUNE THE SUSPENSION. I AM PROUD TO OWN I20.

EXCELLENT INTERIOR, EXTERIOR, FE, COMFORT, FEATURES, ETC.SOFT SUSPENSION

Exterior Exterior is Very good. looking like very good. Nice design. Compare to other sedan model cars it is most prefferable car when you compare exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good. good space and seating facility and boot space is awasome.interior is Very good. looking like very good. Nice design. compare to other sedan model cars it is most prefferable car when you compare interior.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very bad. Previously I am with santro XING LPG and performace is Awasome.  i bought i20 crdi MAGNA Option. when compare to santro, i 20 car performace is verfy bad. pick up is very less in traffic and 2nd and 1st gear intial performace is very bad. becareful, when you are in traffic and in long driving traffic. it could be a chance of accident.

Ride Quality & Handling Good. Handling is goog. but minor problem in steering wheel alignment. need to reverify. after 1500 kilo metres sterring need to rotate more to turn the car. this is minor detect.

Final Words Performace is very bad compare to other cars.

Areas of improvement Need to improve performace.

Exterior and Interior and spacePerformence

Exterior The exterior look of this car is very gentle very well suited for white color job holder and also for my liking. No funky design. Very cool and serious designing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior of this is also very good but the material used for the interial is not upto the uber level, any sharp objects acan put a scrach on the dash board material, but the fit and finish is of top notvh, no rattling sound no, no uneven gaps. ahva a lot s of space and comfort level is above par. very much satisfied.

 Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One of the best engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox combination i have ever driven  among all the diesel hatchbacks curently available in india.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good for a moderate driver but if you are a driving enthusiast than you are reading a wrong review. handling is very predictable in slow or moderate speed. can take sharp U turns without nay hiccups and hesitations even at a speed 50 km/hr. Tyres are very well gripped. Suspension keeps strugling in slow speed. even a small bump can be easily catch. Stearing has been improved a lot. not so mush soft than the earlier version. Have ample amount feel and feedback. Braking in single word is awsome.

Final Words Don't take my review as a biased review. I have writen this review from my very own experience. I hava drive lots of other cars before putting my money on i20. And i have brought this car after riding this car( my friend's car) fairly enough so that i can make a decision to buy this car. A complete value for money car.

Areas of improvement Interior material quality (dashboard plastic) and suspension.
