Driving my Hyundai i20 N Line in traffic: Sharing my initial thoughts

The AC works wonderfully and I am getting a fuel efficiency of 10.7 km/l as per the MID.

BHPian docprashant recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Initial thoughts after 3 days of driving in Mumbai traffic:

  • Starry night color and the N line silhouette are a match made in heaven
  • The build quality is reasonably good with no panel gaps or sheet flex
  • Below 2k RPM feels slightly sluggish, one has to work the gearbox or modulate the throttle a bit
  • Post 2k RPM is a different story and the car builds rapid momentum
  • BOSE sound system is a true delight… be it punjabi bass heavy songs or country music, it's got you covered with crystal clear audio
  • The AC works wonderfully (although it has been raining incessantly in Mumbai)
  • The exhaust sounds naughty but alas it is audible only from the outside
  • The MID is clear, the touchscreen infotainment is very sharp and lag free
  • Seats provide decent bolstering even while moderately spirited cornering
  • The best part is the driving dynamics, well sorted, with almost a European undertone to it
  • The N steering looks and functions brilliantly
  •  Getting ~10.7 kmpl (as per MID) after almost 150 kms of city driving in Mumbai
  •  Swathes of hard black plastics (though of ok quality) is a dampener

P.S. I will try and post a detailed ownership review if time permits in the next couple of months.
