SPORTZ 1.4L AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AT) BSIV

THIS HONEST REVIEW ALONE I GUESS, SHOULD SUM IT ALL FOR ANY NEW BUYER OF THIS VERSION.

Exterior

The car has been designed really well with the exterior looks riding on Hyundai's new german-Fluidic Design concept. The design has been well competitively designed to meet the new generation's expectations of styling. The newly designed headlamps, day-time-white-lights in the front, add to the elegance of the car . The head lamps look more aggressive and filled with life.

Unfortunately, rear wipers are missing for the price while present for Asta model (which has no AT to opt else would have).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Amazing! The interiors are well designed with dual tone colors, steering with leather wrapped, Automatic-Tranmission stick (alone costing about ~1.5lacs extra in place of stick drive) is elegantly designed to give it a posh interior look. The seats are quite comfortable and the driving column is a feast for the eye with blue luminance. Hoped there was vertical adjustment to driver's seat for the car's cost of 9.22 lacs(on-road price + insurance + Seat covers+ floor mats + reverse beeper totally 9.85lacks as of March 7th-2013) I paid 😇. The cabin is very spacious and absolutely quiet while the car is moving. Rear-view camera and parking sensors are very resourceful for me while parking in constrained spaces. Glove-box-coller is awesome. Boot is considerably big for a family of 4 like ours. AC is reasonable good. Music system, bluetooth & controls over steering are quite good. Rain-sensing wipers are awesome too. All other features usually with any others are part & parcel though are fine. My rating is 5 on 5 for features.

Unfortunately, average-mileage-clock would have been helpful (smartly HMIL concealed their mileage issue eliminating this totally of their list of features it seems). Plus,USB port doesn't work with all pen drives, not sure why.😦

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The new turbo charged engines are really powerful. There is a turbo lag below 1500 rpm exactly when needed to overtake though it is 1.4L (specifically opted for this reason) instead of regular 1.2L😱. Agree that the newly designed engine has reduced the turbo lag to a decent extent compared to other cars in the market which have the lag upto 2000 rpm. The fuel economy ranges from 10 to 13.5 kmpl(10 in city conditions and 13 - 13.5 on highway) and of-course understandably, depends on how you drive & conditions in which you drive. Overall a perfect suit for ladies driving in cities as well (one of the reasons I opted this version). Gear box is buttery smooth and need not worry changing gears especially within Hyderabad-traffic conditions😱.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The ride quality is solid & stable. The suspension seems soft but has improved way beyond the one of the previous verstion. Handling is also worth mentioning. Turning at corners at high speeds at a curve feels very safe with the new steering brakes assisted with front disc brakes coupled with ABS and EBD.

Final Words

My view in conclusion...The best car of this segment in current Indian market though Maruti-Suzuki Swift was equally weighed in most aspects but eventually went for this. Though price is on the higher side (by about 50K in my view). Its worth considering it even when you compare it with other so called sedan cars in the price range because Hyundai i20 has got much better feel, luxury, comfort and optimum space. I hope I summed them all.

Areas of improvement  

Pricing, Turbo lag & ground clearance to be the unbeatable & best in the market, within this segment.

 

Driving Comfort, Styling & Elegance, Passenger Comfort, Feature-richHigh Price, Jerky Turbo Lag <1500 rpm (though 1.4L) USB port for music, Less Ground Clearance

Buying experience is good , service is upto the mark 3.5 /5 for buying experience. Riding - pick up is too good and ride is smooth , 4/5 . Looks. performance- performance is too good , looks is ok.colour of car also wash off over period of time rating 3/5 . Maintenance- i m not heavy treveller so my maintenance is always at lower side . Service of old cars of Hyundai is worse it's best when you buy a new car .pros- pickup is good, comfortable for 4 person , power steering is also works fine , noise reduction is good, Cons - mileage is poor it's just give 15-16 km/litre petrol other cars are good if you concern milage only Suspensions are not that good it's ok ok you easily get wake up if roads are bad . Sometimes engine get too hot after 200-300 km run that is disappointing. For city ride car is good. Spare parts are not that easily available so if you are a heavy user need car daily then other options are available.

Car is as smooth as it gets. Driven several thousands till date & haven’t asked for any large maintenance cost . It has never been heavy on pocket & the handling is so smooth as one can expect from Hyundai. Longest drive stands for me from Jaipur to Bangalore which was done in 2 days with a engine running time of 24 hours. Miles is brilliant & it averaged at 19.6 as I drive only with AC. Tile of the chart car & love it looks.

Exterior No comments on exteriors, Company has done very good Job.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Same for Interiors, but one recommendation is to increase seats height, it always good for 6 feet people, but most of them are not.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance excellent, poor mileage, in city 8 KMPL, on highway 16KMPL. it sucks your blood Boss.

Ride Quality & Handling  Very smooth, some where I feel discomfort in operating clutch with my legs. It give air noise when u drive on highway like diesl engine. Becuas eof width. Whcih I don't like. .I sold my TATA Indica which 5 yrs old( bought in 2007), still i feel it was excellent.

Final Words If you want mileage, Forget I 20.

Areas of improvement Better mileage in City dual biege colours change hope 2012 model gives that, mine is 2011 model bought in Jan,2012, any speed breaker, u need to go slow, and because of width, u feel discomfort in hapzard roads or zig zag roads, It looks awaesome.

dual biege interiorsmileage

Its been 8 years i'm driving this car, it's an single hand use, very good mileage, till date the normal service cost 5000. Comfortable, car is quite stable, Driving experience is good.

 

Exterior Sexy design. No comparison at all in dat segment.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Undoubtedly a car with a class.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gud performance..but low fuel economy in petrol.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Superb ride quality and fantastic handelling...gud kerb weight helps driving it more comfortably.

 

Final Words Undoubtedly an excellent car with all advanced features.

 

Areas of improvement Only fuel economy in petrol. Nothing to say for diesel variants. A beautiful looking car with all features and gud and spacious interiors. Go for it if there is no issue of budget of around 6-7 lacs! Overall a good car and the name of hyundai is not questionable. The car has a gud air conditioner with heater. And an a/c vent in the glove box rather say as a small fridge which can keep drinks very cool and handy a really very good boot space and a very good dealer with friendly sales person make the deal very buy-able. with a space of 5 cup and bottle holders makes no issue of space in the car. Go and buy it today!

 

everything...good style,very spacious and comfortable..!!!fuel economy is not upto the standard of the car....

 

Exterior Exterior is typically Korean, which, may not be outstanding, but certainly looks good and gives a big, broad car from outside.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are well sorted out, with nice innova like ac vents and climate control, a boon. plastic quality is good and fit and finish are perfect. Glove box is huge with ac vent provided inside. Space is in plenty for the taking, the best in hatchback segment, leaving the jazz. Seats are comfortable enough, while a little more treatment in the rear seats would be accepted. sportz is loaded with features like FATC, steering mounted audio controls, mp3 player with usb and aux, leather wrap on steering and gear knob, 6speed intermittent wiper.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is revving happily, while some sound creeps into the cabin, it has a typical innova like sound sittting in the cabin. There is some amount of turbo lag. Rev the pot to 1800 rpm and you are altogether in a different planet. The turbo kicks in to give a gush of power to an extent would seem uncontrollable. The car as new is tuned not to get that gush of power, so as it comes in subsequent services, we would be good enough to take that power. Fuel economy is 19 in highways with full time AC at 20degrees. Gearbox is slick but still rubbery. It is not as slick as in a swift or polo. That is jus a matter of getting used to. Clutch is a bit too long and finding the right position in the driver's seat could take some time. Dashboard may hinder the movement of left leg while applying clutch but can be rectified by pushing back seat one step. Overall good deal as far as engine, gearbox and economy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality could be a deal breaker for some. Handling is exceptional in city limits due to light steering, while it is ok in the highways, where some sites say handling in i20 is poor, i totally disagree. It is not as good as in polo or swift, but still does a gives you enough confidence taking corners. Ride is pretty much unsettled with every small pot hole getting transmitted into the cabin. Ground clearance might be a worry in the first look, but believe me, its sufficient with 5 on-board and enough luggage to go past the biggest speed-breaker without scrapping.

 

Final Words Overall a good package with plenty of features on offer. Certainly the best in feature list and a good engine, making it tempting.

 

Areas of improvement Ride quality has to be improved drastically.

 

fuel economy, space, power, comfort, features.looks, boot spaceride quality

This is the first europeon style car hyundai has launced in india. The back of the car looks simply amazing. The lights are very eye catching and from behind it does have that class.

 

Sitting inside the dashboard is simple amazing; it does not looks like those cheap plastic materials found in other cars that looses its shine; the legroom space is quite good for the driver and taking the fact that it is a hatchback the space for 4 ppl is as good as that of a sedan.

 

It is definetly worth the buy and the brand name makes it even more reliable.

Cheers!

this car from hyundai is really a premium car. I have like its shape, styling, interiors, features like controls on steering, integrated stereo, folding keys and rear seats are very good. I give full marks to its styling. To my friends who are concerned about its price, when you go out to buy a premium segment car with loads of luxury features in it you have to compromise with your pocket. No car in its class is near to it any way till date. The thing I should say is that hyundai should launch its variants as 1.4 litre petrol and diesel. this is its weakness. hyundai must launch its variants soon.Super Styiling, good space boot and leg room, good interiorno diesel version
