Elite I20
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
• 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.
Also:
- Other drivers on the road may get distracted admiring your fantastic car.
- You may be viewed as an overly ingenious person for making a great decision.
- Others may get jealous of you.
- You may get used to such cool features and end up disliking almost all other cars.
But that’s just my opinion. You may check out Feedbayk app on android playstore to ask for other car owners opinions. The app would allow you to communicate with fellow car owners and enthusiasts to help make a clearer choice since you’ll be able to directly ask questions. A two way communication would be better than the One-way communication here.
