Mileage in B2B - please do not expect anything more than 12. It should hover between 10-12 km per litre.

Took it out on the highway recently and didn't feel any loss of power. However any tricky overtaking always requires you to shift down. Other than that its pretty stable at high speeds. You dont feel nervous at 100+ speeds. AFE was 14.5-15kmpl. City I get around 12.5kmpl.

Note that the car is due for its 1yr 10k km service, so I am assuming AFE will increase after that.

A quick query: Has anyone felt the ride to be a little bumpy with 33psi tyre pressure which is Hyundai recommended. I felt with 32psi the ride is a lot more smooth and that's what I maintain on my tyres unless I am carrying a full load of passengers + luggage

My brother in law took delivery of his petrol active SX ( top end model) today & visited my home in the evening.I took a short drive immediately. Expecting better illumination from the projector head lamp, but it was just about adequate.
The refinement of the car is simply incredible. My BIL has a 4 yr old Asta petrol i20 too. I had driven that car too.
In comparison, active i20 felt much better in ride quality & engine refinement. Is Elite i20 the same as Active in these two departments?
Contrary to my expectation, driveability of the car was really good. Even at around 50 kmph, it could able to amble around in top gear with out knocking.
Any one who have extensively experienced both active/elite & new Jazz , please share which one is better in the area of refinement ie like engine, road & wind noise etc.

Hi guys,

I have booked i20 Asta (O) . I have a question .. is there any limitation or extra care that one has to take while fitting seat cover because of 6 air bags?

No issues in fixing covers on the rear seat. But do not put covers on the front seats.

Until last month, i used to keep the tyre pressure at 32psi. With a recent flat, i decided to take it up a notch and kept it at 33psi. The ride is definitely bumpier amd stiffer if the car is unloaded. The difference is very apparent between 32 psi and 33 psi.

As for the AFE, expect a marginal increase. Nothing significant.

I use 30PSI for my daily work commute (its much more comfortable compared to 33PSI) and 32PSI on highways with more than 2people/luggage onboard, this was suggested by Hyundai SA during my first service visit.

Drove to Mumbai and back in my VTVT.
I found it quite surprising that it picks up speed quite well on flat roads, has enough punch to it. But as soon as you are on an incline, it becomes a completely different car, sluggish and at times a downshift by 2 gears is required.

Filled her up while going, had 320 kms on the trip meter and took in 30, which wasn't what i was expecting. Later I came to know that the pump I filled her up at earlier, the quality has come down and I attribute the low FE (even for city standards) to this.

But filled her up again on the return leg and it surprised me with a decent 13.50 kmpl (255 kms and 19 liters). This included a good 40-50 kms within Mumbai. And I wasn't exactly babying it at 80. If I do that, I believe it could return more. But I wanted to check how it would perform on the highway. When I will drive for the FE, I will test the results.

I found the performance decent enough.

I went to book i20 Asta at Koncept Hyundai, Kailash Colony, New Delhi. The dealer quoted me Rs. 8,07,763 On Road Price, without any discounts, except Zero Percent Depreciation Cover, and 50% off on Value Added/Car Treatment (Cumulative discount of only Rs. 6460).
When we were almost finalising the deal, our sales person says that Hyundai has taken off Asta variant. According to them, Hyundai is now selling The Asta(O) with AVN, and Asta (O) WAB i.e. the one with 6 airbags and AVN. The reason given to me by Hyundai Salesman is that the price difference between Asta and Asta (O) was not too much that why Asta has been taken out. But I personally feel the price difference between Asta(O) and Asta (O) WAB is just Rs. 16000 on road. Could someone please tell me if this is the case everywhere or am I being played by the Dealer.

Check the ex showroom price list provided to me by one of the Thane dealers
I do see Asta and Asta (O) version and price difference is around Rs.53K. Did you check if both the vehicles are 2017 make, may be one is 2016.

The difference between Asta & Asta (O) is 40k. And I do not think Hyundai ever offered Asta (O) with and without 6 airbags.

Secondly, per update couple of weeks back from the SA from whom I bought my car, Hyundai put the curtains down on the extra discounts offered by dealers from their margin and has imposed strict penalties to the tune of 2L INR if any dealer is found to be offering any discount over and above the one's advertised by the parent coompany i.e. Hyundai.

yes there are no 2 versions of Asta (O). there is only one (O)

I had bought Elite i20 Diesel – Asta in 2015, and have been driving 30K since then.
After my recent paid service for 30K, I find steering to be bit hard, than it was before I gave it for service. I also find the new i20’s steering to be bit hard than the older ones (I also compared this by driving my friend’s 2015 Diesel i20 and a new test drive vehicle as well).

Did anyone else face this in recent times after service? Or can the new buyers confirm by test driving any of the 2015 models, if the steering is smoother in older models?

I think there might be some value of Electronic Power Steering (EPS) changed through the scanner or it is my assumption wrong?

I took delivery of my i20 yesterday, 11th Feb. It is 2017 car. I have not driven older versions of i20 but the steering is super light than my outgoing Swift VDI. It cal be literally driven by using fingers (not recommended of course)

I have not yet experienced becoming heavy after crossing 80 kmph or so.

Congrats Sanjubaba , Yes latest i20 is smoother than other cars of same segment. I compared with Figo, Swift and Tatas.
But I feel the earlier version of Elite i20 are "ultra light", Please check if you find any chance.
