Hyundai i20 Active [2015-2018] User Reviews

Exterior Awesome looks, daylight running lamps along with projector headlamps gives it a premium feel. Very good ground clearance

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front seats are very spacious with middle arm rest is a boon for the driver. The driver seat is height adjustable. Plenty of cubby holes which is a great boon and a specs/glares holder..wow! The dashboard lighting is also nice and classy unlike the dull orange ones we see in other cars.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Getting a very good average now after my 1st servicing, getting close to 19 in city and 22 on highway. Gear box is well placed and the reverse gear is button pull up method since this car comes with 6 manual gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good, the steering is a little too sensitive but good in city drive..the noise insulation done is very good and you wont get any engine (diesel engines are very noisy) inside.

Final Words Very good car, awesome ground clearance and loaded with features...go for it

Fuel economy is great after the 1st servicing, classy looking, automatic headlamps is very good,Missing rain sensing wipers, behind space is less for 3 to be seated comfortably

Exterior

 Poor rubber fitting came out after 7 months, not expected from a Hyundai as many say Hundai has it 'The Best'. Motor-Cycle like fuel lid makes it awkward and Out-Of-Place. Only one Reverse Indicator (Cost-Cutting). SHAME ON YOU Hyundai!😱 And still is called the Best Quality car manufacturer!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good to see that this is an exceptional car to feature a low height Floor-Hump unlike the VW cars and welcomely accepts the 5th occupant but the truely intrusive Air-Vents spoil the show. Leg-room is a lot, a 6-Footer can easily sit behind another 6-footer. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 A dumb CRDi engine, it makes it down to the Service Centre a lot, took me to the Service Centre 7 times in 1 Year due to breakdown!! But should be appreciated that it is easy to repair. Maybe that's why Mechanics too get a lot of income and are more interested in job!!! Engine is also VERY WEAK, even the cheap KUV 100 has a 80 BHP diesel engine. Fuel Economy is greatly claimed but gives about 11.5 kpl on road. Gearbox is easy to shift but feels quite rubbery while shifting from 3+gear to 1st or 2nd and is a curse to change. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 NVH levels are Best-in-Class and there is almost NO engine sound in the cabin. Suspensions are quite managing for ditches and bumps but maybe are poorly fitted. I felt so because it has a LOT of Body-Roll, more than the 2005 Scorpio!!😱

Final Words

 Good car but needs a LOT of improvement and is not worth buying with much affordable and better quality cars like the KUV 100, upcoming Tata Hexa, Current Tata Aria and other crossovers nearby

Areas of improvement  

 Almost INFINITE!! The list is,

Decrese body roll, Get rid of that **** CRDi Engine type and a more powerful engine please!!We want better quality of fitting of Rubber-Beading, remove that awkward looking Fuel Lid, try to improve on road mileage (10 kpl less than claimed mileage!!), I BEG YOU TO LEAVE COST-CUTTING!!

Mileage (Claimed), Enough for 5 occupants, Good bootA lot of Cost-Cutting is evident, Mileage (On road), Very weak engine

Exterior The hyundai i20 active is having the best ever exteroir.It looks like mini creta or mini duster.The best ever exterior exterior is only in this car. The styling is best in its segment. The alloy wheels assist it in making it more stunning and mind blowing.Projector lights attracts everyone.Skid plates are the strongest one ever.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable than swift or Punto. It has more convenience than other competitor cars.More space than swift.Rear Ac vents is first in segment.Rear sensors is more effective in this car than other cars.Navigation System is the best to go anywhere.Steering mounted controls are more better in this car than other cars.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Agile performance. Fantastic Pickup 0-100 in 10.56secs. Brilliant Mileage of city 18 km/l and 19.88km/l on highways. More than suficient torque of 22.4kg/m or 220Nm@2000rpm.High power of 88Bhp@4000rpm.Very best performance for this car as it is having lesser weight than big Suvs.

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable suspension. It is having more ground clearance than swift or elite i20 of 19cms. To face every bad roads. More comfortable even on bad roads.

Final Words At the end, I can say that it is the best car ever made.

Exterior It is clearly one of the most beautiful things ever created in the recent Indian automotive times. This piece of art: i20 Elite/ Active reminds me of the Volkswagen Scirocco; which until now, I thought to be the best looking hatchback ever created

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Once you get inside, it is fabulous! The two tone colors, the small digital display for climate control, the steering mounted controls, the chrome inserts: all make a great impression. The winner here is of course the two tone color scheme: With a choice of racy orange or a cool blue options to play around in the dashboard

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The drive is what every Hyundai drive is like: smooth, soft steering, comfortable suspension. Gear shifts are leisurely and the engine is quite rev-happy. There is no turbo charger here and the 1.4L diesel pot does not feel like it needs one.

Ride Quality & Handling I know it handles really well at high speeds as well, a tad better than the Swift/Ritz and almost in the league of the VW Polo or the Ford Figo. On the highway, I do wish the steering had more weight. The smoothness of the steering means curtailing any form of feedback from the road: a standard characteristic of Hyundais. 

Final Words I love this car and would recommend it to the right category of people. Under-powered: umm. Not really, Pricey, yes. But the looks and features will sweep you away. Make no mistake; this is eventually a lifestyle vehicle.

Areas of improvement The i20 Active is trying hard, but it cannot be a real SUV.
