The Elite i20 Asta Diesel Owner Review

Exterior This has the feel of a real luxury hatch. I am a proud owner a top end Diesel and can say that it surely is eye catchy and leaves people awestruck. The body is sturdy and has lines and curves at the right places.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This is a feature laden car. Regular features like Auto AC, Mounted Controls, big central display are a treat. What stands out is the dual tone interiors and the Chrome finish. The steering is sensitive and responds well. Seats are comfortable and there is enough legroom and thigh support on the rear seats. The AC is effective and cools the cabin extremely fast. Clean air filters helps in clearing out odour or smell from the cabin. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is smooth, however, challenge is shuttling between 1st and 2nd, specially in Bangalore. Yet to measure the FE, however, will be happy with 17-18kmpl. Gearbox is smooth and responds well.

Ride Quality & Handling Good shockers and smooth ride. You dont really feel the bumps and the potholes if you slow down, but will feel a jerk if yuo try to rush past these. ( they are aplenty in bangalore).

Final Words Reallly happy with the purchase. Would have been 10/10 if Hyundai had added DTE, Fuel Efficiency details, Daylight Running lamps and possibly an optional Sun/Moon roof and leather seats.

Areas of improvement Offer Sun/Moon roof, Leather seats & projector lamps as options.
