2020 Hyundai i20 review - 1.0 Turbo DCT and 1.5 diesel driven | First Drive | Autocar India

The 2020 Hyundai i20 has debuted with the option of a 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Question is, is the Hyundai i20 Turbo DCT the sporty hatchback we all expected it to be? Or is the sensible 1.5 diesel the one to buy? Nikhil Bhatia drives the two to get the answers.

It's good but overpriced. Who wants to buy an i20 at over 13 lakhs on road? Should have used this space to launch i30 or i20 N-Line

Could you ever share a 0-100 sprint on a timing gear. Where do you test the performance? As big as is the Hyundai, they won't be advertising 9.9 seconds for nothing. I really appreciate how Hyundai is offering many engine options with different state of tunes for different cars. No other manufacturer does that in India.

Waiting for the comparison Vedio of Altroz diesel and i20 diesel

Not good that only Asta (O) gets adjustable headrests at back seat. Atleast Asta variant also should have been included with the adjustable headrests.

I am sure the next video is gonna be a drag race between polo tsi, figo diesel and i20 turboGDI.

6 airbags are of no use, if the chassis is found to be unstable. If Seltos structure is unstable, I have no hopes for i20 either.

[guptakunal]

That's a very disappointing performance with a 120hp engine! Looks like all the cost when in to features and not to the actual driving experience.

I suggest that safety parameters needs to be highlighted at the outset as being reviewers you have a say in influencing the people. It's about time the Koreans start taking safety seriously . If a car hasn't had a crash rating prior to sale that needs to be highlighted then only the manufacturers will be serious about it. Thanks for the review

Everone saying its costly and overpriced but no one is talking about what they are offering in return. I 20 cant be compared with altroz or baleno, its of different league like polo gt. Just look at the sharp and elegant design and with features such as tyre pressure monitoring, Electronic stability control, hill assist, 6 airbags, and child seat fixation facility that tata or maruti don’t even care of. With all these features ( that can be seen on mercedes or audi) the Price of Top Model of i20 is totally Justified. If you dont want these, then go with the lower variant with low price. By these Hyundai is setting new standards in Indian Market.

Rip the i20 price 1.0 dct, imt and diesel top model also, better option to buy xuv 300 w8 optional

[ashisharora]

I have booked i20 sport petrol ⛽️ but I am confuse between baleno or i20 . When I have drive the new I20 Pick up wise I don't feel so good apart from that everything is good, Baleno pick up wise so good . I Need suggestions should I go for i20 or baleno

[kiranmx]

So for how long will the DCT last that's the big question?! Given all we know Sletos DCT heating issues, it should not start failing like Polo DSG after 5 years.

[sanketjain]

Looks like I20 diesel is the one which can claim some sporty hatchback creds. Comparison with Altroz would be great. Or even with Rapid TSI.

[dianesmith]

In the U.K.... i20 turbo edition from 2016...car looks great getting one next year great review.

[aavi]

Government should make rules before launching of cars the safety test must be compulsory .. with minimum 4 star rating

[sridharshirodkar]

Which one is a better option i20(diesel) vs Ford ecosport. Very difficult to decide. Kindly opine.

[avskr-]

The proportion of i20 buyers who opt for turbo 1.0 petrol version will be very minor. Eagerly waiting for Diesel and petrol versions review which most common buyers opt for

[spbsainik]

Love the design of the new i20. Looks very modern.

[anuragsatpathy]

Would be it right to choose petrol CVT

[rahulrathishofficial]

I'm really confused. I was planning to buy Hyundai Venue. But looks like this car has more modern features. But then the price is more for this one. So I'm thinking of going ahead with the venue. But then again, that car will get outdated in 1 year or so.
In conclusion, I'm confused.😁
