Crash test results are unavailable at the time of official or crisp reviews.

Electronic Stability Control is to prevent loss of control and prevent a crash. In the event of crash, the airbags, crumple zones etc are the ones to save.

But why not a disclaimer? Especially when most start linking these statements to car safety. Also, in case of the tests not available, we should mention it in the negatives, IMHO.

I get that! It was a sarcastic post on how they are not safe even after the much touted high strength/ tensile steel etc. This is in context with the recent GNCAP results of Seltos, which is less safe than a Kwid!

Got home this piece of gorgeousness on the 11th.

Its the all singing all dancing 1.0 Turbo DCT Asta (O) in Titan Grey Colour.





Drove home to Pune yesterday and absolutely loved the drive.

A few observations from the 250 odd km that I've completed so far:

1. The car drives like a considerably bigger car. Road holding and high speed stability is top notch and the ride quality is great. My other car is a GT TSI (1.2) and the i20 has a big car feel which the GT just cannot match.
2. The cabin is extremely silent and the insulation does a great job of not letting outside noise filter in.
3. Being a new car I didn't want to stretch its legs too much. Drove on the e-way at 100 kmph with the cruise control on and the speed felt much slower than 100.
4. The 1.0 Turbo is super refined, and the DCT does a pretty good job of masking the engine's weak bottom end.
5. There is a bit of lag in throttle response when one wants to move the car by just a few feet.
6. Climbing the Khandala Ghat was a breeze. The strong mid range of the 1.0 Turbo is brilliant and the DCT was downshifting without any lag in the reasonably relaxed manner that i was driving in. As mentioned earlier I was not really pushing the car.
7. The expressway drive was in bright sunshine and I noticed that the car doesn't seem to have tinted/green heat insulating glass.
8. Equipment level is excellent although why Hyundai skipped on the auto-dimming ORVM and rain sensing wipers is beyond me.
9. The front seats are super snug and there were no aches and pains after the three hour drive.
10. The Titan Grey colour looks absolutely brilliant on this car. The black side skirts, bumper inserts and rear windscreen shroud gels very well with the grey.
11. The air purifier blocks out one cup holder and I am not sure if it is detachable. The dealership was unable to help since they were not sure either.

I somehow see the shape of new i20 is similar to Honda Jazz sans cosmetics head light and tail lamps. A- pillar of Jazz is streamlined, and the rear C pillar has some sheet! Rest, its too close for me to differentiate. However, because of the height difference, the Jazz looks and feel spacious and the i20 seems puny.



Even the dimension are almost close.

The above image gives it kind of Tata'ish appearance. From side like a Bolt kind of thing.

Many congratulations!.

The new i20 is a real beauty and will turn out to be another super duper hit from Hyundai, no doubt !.

With Hyundai's excellent reliability and service network, enjoy the gem for many many years .

Looks like someone already got the delivery, and aftermarket alloys. Also the ground clearance doesn't look that bad.

Who cares about people dying from road accidents because of compromised safety? The Govt certainly got into the act too late. it was busy promoting < 4 m length cars and cheap unsafe cars until last year. The i20 is another one which is likely to be a poor performer in GNCAP otherwise it's safety would have been a much touted selling feature. People who continue to get dazzled by the bling quotient of cars need to understand that much of the bling can be added after-market at much lower prices. Safety cannot be added to a car thanks to inherent platform design features built in or left out.

It is incumbent on the central govt and the states to work towards road safety both in design and build which would be tested appropriately. Also, there should be an incentive in reduced car insurance cost if the car meets a higher safety standard. The manufacturer and buyer must be compensated.

Congrats on your purchase!

Could you provide details on a few points :-
1. On road price
2. Waiting period, when did you book etc
3. How did you decide on this car (and which other options you considered)
4. Early impressions on driving please (as compared to your GT TSI)

[sgmuser]

I am a fan of i20 (I have owned the first gen 1.4 Auto) all the while including this new i20. But frankly, the pricing is absurd. Especially, with these micro SUV flooding the market and even in its range (Venue), Hyundai pushes this gen i20 as a premium product. People who still wish to go with i20, they will feel this is a premium offering. Personally, I would rather go for 1L Venue rather than this low rung i20 considering the extra headroom, ride height (however minimal difference) Venue offering. This could be flawed strategy by the marketing department. This is not a value proposition for anyone and might fail, which we will come to know soon. Then there will be price correction. How a good product can be killed!

Looks like a lot of deliveries happened - as there are many such pictures flooded on social media.

Here are two more cars with aftermarket alloys -

[Vik0728]

The All New I20 Asto (O) 1.5 CRDI is ₹ 13.48 Lakh On-Road (Bangalore) and Asta (O) 1.0 DCT is ₹ 14.12 Lakh On-Road (Bangalore)

Like Maruti have been bragging about how dumb it is to buy a diesel instead of their "Tremendous" petrol engines, other than for some really bling and useless features in the All New I20, here are my picks:

Diesel alternatives to I20 Asto 1.5 CRDI (O)

- Ford Figo Titanium Regular or Blu - ~9.3 to 9.8 Lakhs OTR
- Ford Ecosport - ₹ 14.6 Lakhs OTR
- Tata Altroz XZ(O) Diesel - 10.92 Lakhs OTR

Petrol alternatives to I20 Asta 1.0 DCT

- VW Polo 1.0 TSI Highine Plus - 9.8 Lakhs OTR
- VW Polo 1.0 AT Highline Plus - 11.2 Laksh OTR

Volkswagen Vento/Polo had All one touch up/down windows from the day 1 (a decade ago) dude. The 2020 Honda City is the one that "Now Offers" this feature.

[fhdowntheline]

Those after market "turbine" alloys look incredible and complement the car really well! I am reminded of Fiat Linea T-Jet's turbine alloys.

Congratulations ! I saw an i20 in the same shade today. Looks striking on the road. Altroz looked striking in pictures and not so much on the road, its the opposite for i20.
