What you'll like:
• All-rounded package in a sharp design. Improved
over the 1st-gen i20 in nearly every way
• Spacious interiors with outstanding quality, fit and
finish. Practical 285 liter boot too
• 1.4L diesel has excellent driveability, refinement,
performance & fuel economy. 6-speed gearbox is
smooth
• Mature suspension offers a comfortable ride and
neutral handling characteristics
• Hyundai's fuss-free ownership experience & excellent
after-sales-service
• Loaded with features & gizmos ( 16 rims, keyless
entry & go, 8-speaker stereo, rake & reach steering,
rear air-con, reversing cam, cooled glovebox and lots
more)
What you won't:
• Missing equipment vis-a-vis old i20: Rear disc
brakes, side & curtain airbags, sunroof, auto-wipers &
DRLs
• 1.2L petrol is nowhere as impressive as the diesel.
Mediocre highway performance for a premium
hatchback
• Anyone over 5'11 will find rear headroom to be
insufficient. Sloping roof eats into cabin height at the
back
• Dynamics & steering aren't to an enthusiast's tastes.
Swift, Polo etc. are more fun to drive
• On-road price difference between the petrol & diesel
is ~ 1.3 lakhs. That's higher than the competition
• Rear wiper only on the top Asta trim! No fuel-
efficiency indicator, auto-locking doors or height-
adjustable seatbelts on any variant
