i20 Magna (Petrol) review

Exterior Excellent as per my view, infact being in the market for 4 years almost...it still looks very good. This is one of the premium hatchbacks available in India and is still selling in good numbers month on month.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space to accomodate 5 people, Rear AC vents are blessings in hot Indian summers. The Dashboard is simple and not kept very crowded as you can see in Baleno or Ford cars. The 2 tone Beige and Black interiors is also very appealing. Seats are comfortable enough for long drives and you wont feel tired. Music system is very good with 4 speakers and 4 tweeters. Steering wheen has controls of phone calls and Music (connected via Bluetooth).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine has a liner acceleration which means that it wont give a jerk while pick up, but can easily reach speed of 80 and above without any issue. The Petrol engine is super quite and sometimes you will not even feel any vibrations when the engine is ON. Gearbox is butter smooth and its placement is just perfect in the cabin. 

Fuel Economy is 10-12 in Cities and 15-17 in Highways, which I think are respectable figures. If you need a better fuel economy then look for Alto, Nano or Eon. Or  fit in a CNG kit in this car...:(

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is simply superb, I have touched a speed of 120 and no issues at all.

Final Words A real good car, not very sporty and agressive in nature, but sticks to the road while riding and does not talk to air. If you are looking for a car for comfort, decent space, average fuel economy with a premium looks then i20 is definitely a car for you.

Areas of improvement None as of I think.

Over all Styling, Riding ComfortNo Distance to Empty feature, while most of the cars give this option. No ABS in Magna model.
