Hyundai i 10 Sportz AT review- Great drive in city traffic

Exterior

Great design with a lot of appeal for a small car... maruti cars somehow lack the look/ appeal that i10 has succesfully established in a single stroke. The unique front lamp design is trendy & now also seen in a lot of big cars. The overall look of the car is contemporary & sharp. The rear could have been a little better as the Santro genesis is very evident.The rear wiper & defogger is quite a boon in the Delhi rains.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Good space, front seating is comfortable, the rear tends to get bumpy on high speeds.The tall boy design is optimized & better than a Wagon R.

The music system is good, the entire console has been done neatly and is well spaced however the reach to the controls is constrained if the driver seat is pushed back completely. The upper incline lever for seats is on the opposite side which is a welcome feature since you can manage the co passenger seat more easily esply if travelling with small kids.The quality of the seat belt needs improvement.

I have opted for the interior red pack that goes very well with the fiery red exterior colour; making the car look very appealing & well coordinated. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Sturdy engine, average feul economy but AT is a boon for Delhi traffic so not a big deal. The car zooms up but you do feel the constraints for power when there is a drop in speed due to sudden breaking. Overall a very smooth & perky drive.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is good, but there are the usual limitations of a small car. Handling is very smooth, I have done 120+ on Greater Noida Expressway no complaints whatsoever.Very stable at high speed.

Final Words

Great buy esply for women drivers like me since the AT is a big blessing, would strongly recommend to people who do a lot of driving daily. I do almost 100+ kms daily & dont feel the drive at all despite the delhi traffic peak hour driving.

Areas of improvement  

The given model should have fog lamps since retro fitting the same isnt always desirable.
