ஹூண்டாய் i20 [2012-2014] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior

Styling is pretty neat. I personally liked it much better than all the cars in that class. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

It's a loaded vehicle with features like music system with USB port, climate control, electrically foldable mirrors, ABS, airbags, smart alloys, rear wash & wipe, front & rear fog lamps, front & rear windscreen demister, etc. I personally feel that this is a true VFM car..!!

Seating space & comfort is better than all the cars of this category barring the Honda Jazz. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Performance is a bit weak compared to other cars. The second gear feels dead. You have to work up the gearbox to squeeze out every ounce of power. 

Fuel economy is OK for a car weighing 1 ton. I get around 11.5~12.0 kpl in city

Gearbox is slick & smooth 

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is fine. Tends to get a bit unsettled on broken roads & potholes.

Handling is not as crisp as the Japanese rivals. The steering does not give a proper feedback & feels over-assisted.

Final Words

Excellent Value for Money Car...!!!

Areas of improvement  

1. Aircon efficiency 

2. Improve gear ratios for better performance

3. Niggling quality issues should be improved

Exterior No comparision , well designed in all respects,

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent, poor plastic quality , but soft stearing wheel design give the ultimate feel of comfort during driving.    

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Except AC and milage evry thing is fine. Value for money

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent feel in driving / meet almost 90% of the expectations/ I suggest others to  have test drive before finalise any car in this segment.

Final Word Value for money

Areas of improvement  Back seat legroom, AC vent for back seats, box below hand brakes creates uncomfort ride to the pwerson sitting in the center of back seat. All the five tyers must have alloy wheels. All the ewindow glasses must operate with Remote key. Pickup is slow Back seat legroom, AC vent for back seats, box below hand brakes creates uncomfort ride to the pwerson sitting in the center of back seat. All the five tyers must have alloy wheels. All the window glasses must operate with Remote key. Pickup is slow

Exterior Nice looks with Electric ORVM, and Indicator light on them, wide body like a sports car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Wide seats, legroom is good, Tilt and telescopic steering, blue tooth, remote key, AC is excellent, climate control, outside traffic noise is not heard

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is fine and very smooth, great pick up,

Ride Quality & Handling Satisfactory, suspension is good and power steering is very smooth

Final Words Nice Hatch back, gives me 14 kmpl in Delhi traffic with AC On and 17 kmpl on highway.

Areas of improvement Need to have more pockets for keeping items like goggles, CDs, etc , tray under the front seat would be nice.

Rear wiper is missing in the Sportz model, though defogger is there

The FM antenna could have been smaller.

I tried Swift, Dzire, Punto,Jazz but went in for I20, no regrets, hyundai's service also counted

I would recommend the I20.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is a bit slow to repond, the Ignition system and Lock and ABS and Power windows are defective and Hyundai has not told the public.

Faulty Ignition Key and Lock I have a i 20 sportz recently about a month ago the Ignition Key got stuck in the key hole and it just would not start. I had to call the service center and got it towed to the workshop. The Muralinagar service center said that the complete key set has to be replaced and it costed me a walloping Rs18,000/- My complaint is that the Ignition Lock and key are defective as even before it failed completely, there were problems of the key not functioning perfectly it would turn on smoothly. I strongly feel that there is a manufacturing defect in the Lock set which Hyundai is not disclosing. I had previously owned Maruti, Fiat and Tata vehicles but none had basic mechanical failure. I impress upon Hyundai to take a call on this and refund the amount at least.

Now a few days ago another problem has developed, the ABS indicator is not going off and the service center says it will cost Rs7000/- to change the part concerned. I am totally disappointing with HYUNDAI CARS and have decided not to buy HYUNDAI anymore, as I was considering the CRETA.

Ride Quality & Handling Bumpy.

Final Words Would nto recomend this car to friends and social media.

Areas of improvement Plenty ABS, IGNITION SYSTEM AND LOCK AND POWER WINDOWS.

i20 is the gem of a car. muscular sporty styling, luxury interiors and a few features which are only owned by  the upper segment sedans. This car has got a sleek styling, a continous flow from the front bumper till the back. Everything is so unique about it and yet it does not give a bulky or a heavy look.

It does make heads turn on the road and neighbours envy. Those who call it expensive are the ones who appreciate the cars only by pricing - 'the cheaper the best' but I say that a car should be appreciated if it makes you feel home and i20 does exactly the same!

Superb!...As the car start moving, it seems like its now going to take-off like a jet as the interiors feels like a Multi-functional cabin of the Jet. In 4 sec touching 60 Km/s while AC is turned on. As its the Hyundai (begged a best Manufaturer Award this year), you can set assured that you will get the premium vhical services and highly polishes species. A European like hatch gets zoomed into every bodies mind as it cross the way. Fully responsive and user-friendly car.

This powerful practical car too gives a best in class space for rear seaters. AC works well having large vents. Best amongst the interiors is the one-touch climate control also the toggle-type audio controls on the steering wheels.

Taking onto the highways, this car performs exactly the same as you need while overtaking and crossing other vehicles stiffly. The only hastle is the economy. But til the petrol prices are low, you need not to worry.
