The 1.2L Petrol engine power figures remain same as earlier generation (83ps @ 6000rpm).

Diesel engine added 10 horses (now 100ps @ 4000rpm) as size increased from 1.4L to 1.5L.

I'm pretty sure that chrome strip can be removed and replaced. My guess - press type plastic clips holding them in place. You should be able to swap it for the red strip from the lower variant.

Got back from a Mumbai-Goa round trip in the i20 a couple of days back. A few observations:-

1. I never thought I’d say this about a Hyundai hatchback but the car can hold high triple digit speeds with ease.
2. The stability at speed is excellent. A few bumps here and there dont really upset the composure of the car, it holds its line into corners with aplomb and as I mentioned earlier the big car feel ensures that the drive is calm and relaxed without the feeling that you’re going too fast. Is it as good as my GT TSI? Well no... but it’s quite close.
3. I started pushing the car the moment I got off the expressway (e-way was done with cruise on 100) and I got an overall 14kmpl over the 1500 km drive which included a lot of travel within Goa as well.
4. The 1.0 GDI delivers its power in a very relaxed way. It doesn’t push you back into the seat like the 1.2 TSI does but the power on tap is more than adequate to have fun with.
5. The aircon works brilliantly. The cabin was kept cool at all times and we never had to take the temperature below 22 degrees even at the lowest fan speed.
6. No aches and pains at all after the drive. I was the only one driving and had no issues whatsoever. The seats are adequately supportive.
7. I am yet to get used to the brakes. The brake feel is very different from what I am used to and hence the confidence is missing. Modulation is not very difficult but it feels like they could do with a bit more bite.
8. The car is a head turner. People doing a double take, guys pointing the car out to their friends, wives etc was common on the drive as was people coming and asking about how good the car is.

Overall a big

Can anyone clarify how bad is the rear seat height? Is it placed too low to the point of being unusable by elders? Is it possible to adjust the rear seat height in the aftermarket?

Many congratulations buddy!!

The car looks beautiful in that DT shade of White/Black.

Do share your experience with the car and wish you many wonderful miles with it.

Hyundai has strengthened its commitment towards the AtmaNirbhar Bharat initiative, by exporting the first batch of 180 i20s to South Africa, Chile and Peru, from India. The export network will be expanded to a total of 88 countries.

Hyundai's i20,once a competitor to Maruti Suzuki's Baleno is now nowhere in the picture.( in monthly sales chart)

Baleno sells 18030 units in December and is the 3rd best seller for the month(Dec-20).

Hyundai's i20 is no where in the top ten cars sold in Dec.

I don't think Hyundai will be much worried. It sold 3% over last year numbers & discounting can take care of sales in future (what their strategy seems to be). They are happy making fatter profits on Creta/ Venue it seems, both of which are substantially up over Dec-19.

Just to add on, Baleno (Maruti Sales) is actually 2% down over Dec-19. Glanza sales is face saving IMO.

While I liked the previous i20 very much, I saw this new one in red with a turbo badging up front and I did spend some time looking at it on the side of the road only to realize its curious owner being inside all the while. Good Job Hyundai, this is premium hatch done right.

[adithya.kp]

MoM may be a more appropriate metric in this case. In my opinion, MoM degrowth for a newly launched model is not a good thing. One possibility is that people prefer < 4 meter SUV to premium hatchback.
I always wonder how maruti is able to sell such high number of baleno every month. We also need to keep in mind, its not available in regular maruti outlets. And their own ignis hardly sells ( by maruti hatchback standards)

Hi,

I need some advice on petrol vs diesel. I want to buy this but confused about petrol mileage. This looks great.
