No matter what, i20 always remains as a best looking hatchback! Kudos to the designers.

Service sucks, saftey is questionable --brain says no, but heart always goes for i20 :-)

(Fond memories of my 2012 Asta black diamond. I really enjoyed that car)

i20 just invited huge value for money comparisons against itself from a pricing perspective!

The new Thar one one side(low end versions), and then the Rapid Tsi and Nissan Magnite on the other. There are great offerings from competition at this price range and its becoming very hard to understand why I would spend ~14lakh on road Bangalore for this car(presently own a 2013 model run 2.6lakh kms which we bought at 7 lakh back then).

Hyundai has made life much easier for all those who were confused in choosing between the premium hatchbacks. The i20's pricing makes the compact SUVs seem reasonable.

Just when I was thinking that the Hyundai design team lacked focus and intent, their Marketing team has hit the ball out of the park with their pricing strategy

After reading about the pricing, I went straight to carwale, hard to justify their strategy when compared with other C-Suvs! Hope the driving experience is as high as their pricing.

Considering the pricing, is Kia bringing their own cheaper version of i20? Why not. Seeing how the brand has caught fancy, smallest Kia will have every chance at being a runaway hit.

[Nithesh_M]

No. Kia has sworn off hatchbacks and sedans for the foreseeable future. They will focus on suv segment.

The deliveries have already started ( which is quite in contrast with Mahindra with their new Thar)

Is that exclusive to Autocar ? None brought it online , no embargo?

[VijayAnand1]

Am I the proverbial outstanding student here who's still sticking to the Ford Freestyle. Pricing is key and the plethora of options these are just mind boggling to choose from. Great review, enjoyed it thoroughly.

Cheers!

I so hoped that i20 will come with 120 Ps proper manual. DCT has a questionable reliability and iMTs well can never match a manual .

I know it’s wishful thinking but they could have at-least given alloys and rear wash wipe in almost Million Rupee sportz variant

Many BHPians were saying that the 120hp 1.0L will give a run to the Polo TSI! Seeing the numbers for this 1.2, I'm not even expecting the 120hp car to beat the Baleno's performance figures by a big margin!

In comparison - Elite i20 (not sure of new one), Polo, Altroz, Figo - all these cars weigh over a ton. The 1.2 will obviously struggle to pull these cars, with figures close to 80hp/ton.

Forget this segment - even cars from a segment and half below like the Tiago and Santro weighs more than a Baleno! Until Maruti crash tests one, I'd be weary of such unusual weight savings only by one brand - and not consider it to benchmark performance for other brands.

1.2L produces just 83 BHP, so 14 secs for 0-100 is expected. Venue 1.0 L does 0-100 in 10 seconds and the Grand Nios does it in less than 10 seconds. You can expect the i20 1.0 L to have similar acceleration figures.
