Having owned the new i20 close to three years now, these are my brief thoughts on the car:
1. The overall build of the car is a notch down from the previous generation car, I can say this with confidence having owned the previous generation i20.
2. Further to point no. 1, noticeable rattles started within the first 20,000 kms, particularly from the dashboard, the service Center has not been able to rectify this issue.
3. The ride quality is certainly stiffer than the outgoing generation.
4. The front left ABS sensor malfunctioned and is replaced under warranty.
5. The right and left tail lamps also malfunctioned and were similarly replaced free of cost.

Issues with my i20 Sportz iVT. Should I have this checked now or wait?

I got my i20 Sportz iVT in Dec 2023 (facelift edition). All in all good experience so far but a couple of times the car has gone a little crazy on me so wondering if I should have it checked now or wait for the first service in Feb.


2. A few days later the car was stopped at a turn (in D mode). When traffic cleared I lifted my foot off the brake expecting the car to creep but it didn't move, at all. Light pressing of the accelerator didn't do anything either. By now the folks behind me had started screaming so I hit the accelerator full on and the car moved and then I was able to control the speed and drive away.

I had the Hyundai service center install the DHC 360 Camera, there have been no other customization. I have heard of the earlier i20's defective fuel pump issues causing the car to stall, could the facelift version have inherited it? I have a feeling even if I take it to the service center they might not find anything as it's been so sporadic. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Check the wiring of the new system. If the aftermarket rear camera is powered by the stock rear camera wire via some adapter, it is not enough power generated.
This causes a lag in the gear selection and explains why you car didnt move when you put it in D.

The aftermarket camera should be receive the signal from stock reverse camera wire via the adaptor along with a wire tap the reverse light for power.

Sorry for the layman terms but this could be a reason. Aftermarket stuff is complicated nowadays.

I don't think the same thing's applicable to Android Auto. I've tried enabling that setting, it just takes away the option to put anything else on the side.

They have given a sunroof but still no rear wash and wipe. Could have included that too and price would have been what, max 8.99 lakh ex showroom. This alone could have made the trim much more desirable for informed buyers.

I have the 2nd gen i20 asta (o). The rear wash and wipe isn’t all that useful tbh. It was a novelty back in 2015 and got people talking but nowadays I only use the rear camera and the side mirrors. I can’t even remember the last time I used it. Also every time I use it, it makes the entire rear of the car become extremely dirty and I need hose all the dried muck off.

I think it’s just another feature that’s given undue importance. I wish my car had 2 reverse lights instead.

I politely disagree.

We have this feature in the i10 and Creta. I have found it very useful in rains. The rear of the car gets covered in muck during the drives in rain and even rain water streams down on the glass during crawling traffic making it impossible to see the rear traffic. Then the rear wash and wipe comes to the rescue.

I drive my FIL's Swift which doesn't have this feature and it is a serious handicap during such times. The reversing lamp can be augmented with an aftermarket light or even brighter bulbs but the rear wash and wipe is not an easy or cheap install.

Why does the muck even matter though. The headlights of the cars in the rear are still visible nonetheless. When going in reverse, you have the camera and sensors which are much more useful than IRVM

I agree to certain extent with this. I guess it depends on case by case basis. Someone who lives in area which receives good amount of rainfall may think of this as a must have feature. For someone like me who lives in a dry area will not take this into consideration while purchasing. On occasional rainy drives I never missed the rear viper.

I regularly glace my ORVMs and IRVM while driving. It's a habit now. During day time most vehicles don't use headlights during rains and even when they are on, the water on the glass spreads them and all I see is white background. Most of the time cameras also get covered in muck and doesn't show clear picture.

To each his own, I would say. I prefer rear wash and wipe over sunroof anyday.

It doesn't and I'm still pissed about it. What's the point of having a wireless charger if you need to plug your phone in anyway? The AA also doesn't go full screen. Idiotic right?

The 10.25" Infotainment units are a generation old and not equipped with Wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. This is carried over from the earlier generation Creta and Seltos. In comparison, the 8" units are latest generation and hence supports wireless android auto/apple carplay.

Hello folks!

Need input on my case below.

My i20 N Line is about to complete 1 year of ownership and 9500 kms on the Odo.
Had a front passenger side tyre burst 2 days back while driving in the countryside and the car went over a sharp-edged rock at a meagre 25 kmph speed.

Can I claim it under warranty? Can pay for the trade consumed.
Should the car be taken to the ASS of the tyre dealer in the area?
Or there aren't any chances of a warranty claim and simply getting a new tyre from the market?

I think checking with Hyundai SA is better. I had similar problem, a sharp rock teared the sidewall making it completely useless. When I checked for warranty they refused saying it only covers if happens naturally rather than due to objects. When I bought the tyre it has different set of rules with respect to warranty compared to the tyres I got from factory. If SA is co-operative then they can help you with the warranty .

Highly doubt it, as the tire warranty covers manufacturing defect only. External impact/tear due to impact is usually not covered.
