Thank you. Will check this out.

I have seen some screen protectors being advertised and therefore the thought. Thank you.

Has anyone retro fitted cruise control in their car? I have seen some YT videos and it seems simple enough to be a DIY. Apparently the CC is already built in the car, but the Asta, and Sportz variant lacks the switch on the steering, which is available for 1666/- INR on Boodmo (SWITCH ASSY - STRG REMOTE CONT R) Besides this a single wire is needed to connect the steering to the speedo console.

Asking, because I'm thinking of fitting it in my Sportz model. Only negative is the warranty aspect. Comments welcome.

I was looking to book an i20 Turbo iMT Sportz variant this last week. The dealership flatly refused to take the booking stating that Hyundai has discontinued this variant (along with other regular i20 Turbo iMT variants). I checked with couple of other dealerships and received a similar response. I contacted Hyundai to get some clarity since Sportz iMT still showed up on Click 2 Buy and on their official brochure and web site. They refused to unacknowledge the dealer's assertion and promptly routed me back to the dealership for any further queries. Looks like the chip shortage and N line launch has resulted in quiet burial for the i20 Turbo iMT variants.

This is a big modification (atleast from OEM view point) to carry out in a car and will definitely void warranty. I would say No, considering any future issues (even not related) they might relate to this.

Beyond the Honda 3rd generation Honda City, upon the uninhabited extent, I always contemplated about the need for a small car for those daily city needs.

I happened on a trail of recent hatchbacks reviews. Had my father not enquired for a test drive? We would not have this lovely car sitting in our driveway. A day after the enquiry, two gentleman with mask encompassing their face from us came to render their assistance. Father shook his head, raised his eyebrows and displayed his unearthing with perfect movement of hands, “son the front facia is not as high as my friend’s i20”, he is referring here to the second generation.

I confessed I did like it.

Now shall I enlighten you about the wisdom of rest of the family members, as this is the secret that led to further movements. Women-folk expressed sympathy towards the space at the rear bench. I gathered that the car dimension was tailor made for the parking space. Amidst the twittering wits, we rolled for the test-drive. On the rude tarmac beneath we gild along in tranquility. With five aboard, the reluctance to move was not identified.

For My Sales Advisor and I are of the same cloth, when it comes to hasten the process. To my immense joy, I came to know that a model of my liking is on its way to their yard. So as it went, I booked the car via “Click To Buy” as per request by the dealer. On 06 of February 2022, in the board day light visited their yard to do the PDI. The car had just been unloaded from the carrier and the odometer read 16 KM. I crossed at length, the many checklist in the “Team-bhp shared document”. And then came the delivery day, accompanying my sister and nephew, reached at 4 PM, 5 days later.











Permit me to elucidate the luke warm delivery procedure. The car though cleaned had grease at certain spots. Dealer's only concern was to adhere to the delivery checklist supplied by Hyundai India and hence every action felt like being acted, devoid of human courtsey. To my dismay, the odometer fuse was kept aside to be fitted at delivery time. There were having tough time removing "SHIP" mode which I observed in the MID.

Observations -

1. It happened only once, the gear shift knob jerked from 1st to neutral at the time of start.
2. The seats are comfortable and wide.
3. Power is sufficient for 5 onboard.
4. One has to slow down at speed bumps and large pot holes, otherwise a reverberating thud is endowed upon.
5. Muds and dirt accumulate at the space in the font of rear wheel wells.
6. There is no anti theft alarm.
7. The default speakers are quite good, bluetooth is quick to pair with. The tactile controls on DIN and steering wheel is a welcome feature.
8. The Headlight throw is inadequate for unlit roads. I had to turn on fog lamps to compensate for on few occasions.
9. The horn will not deter bovines to make way, even fellow motorist tend to forego.

P.S. I would suggest Hyundai to listen to the customer grievance on the after sale feedback call instead of providing ratings only.

Congratulations on your new car and good to see you on this forum. I presume your car is Magna version with a 1.2 liter NA engine with MT.

I particularly like the rear view of this version, the chrome in the Sportz and higher versions seems a bit much to me.

The way people drive on the highway, believe me you won’t be able to use it for a long..
This feature can be only used on highways where you are cruising at speed >40 kmph, and you have to engage brakes immediately when you see a slow moving truck, tractor coming from wrong side , a cow or a dog in the middle of road..
I am telling you this from my personal experience, the best I have used it on Mumbai Pune Expressway. That too I have to disengage when I saw 2 slow moving trucks on the way, one overtaking another and blocking 2 out of 3 lanes.

If you live in a city where you have access to major expressways and you travel a lot on them then only this feature will be useful.

But installing it from a third party at the cost of voiding warranty won’t make sense..

Yes I kind of agree with your view. On my recent trip to Hyd and back, I tried to see how many times I could have used CC if I had it. Answer was - very few. The Hyd orr being one of them, where CC would be most useful to avoid going above speed limit (which is very easy)

Cruise Control is hardly of any use on busy highways. I did a 1200 km trip, 2 side from Delhi to Udaipur. I engaged Cruise Control but it barely lasted for 5-7mins. Also, there is some sense of discomfort when I put both my legs down. I fear when if and when I try to press brakes, I may not place them accurately/fully on the brake pedal and may instead press accelerator or partly so. So I put my right leg very gently on the brake pedal. I guess that is the right way to do it. Not sure.

However, where I find Cruise Control helpful is on my daily trip back to office if I leave it later, e.g. 10pm and after. The traffic is minimal and I can cruise comfortably 10-11kms. I don't mind the added fuel efficiency but I would not go as far to get it installed.

When Hyundai realised what a blow the new Baleno and Altroz Automatic is going to cause to the i20, they woke up and made the lower trims better equipped.

Indeed looks like that. No other plausible explanation. Well - finally our market starting to see the benefits of fierce competition over last 2-3 years .

[PrasunBannerjee]

Baleno effect perhaps? I still fail to digest this segment and specially this car has breached the 10 lakh OTR mark even for the non-top variants.

Thanks for this.
Don't know whether I need to feel good or bad about it.

In Dec I got i20 IVT Asta as it was the top end model in IVT. While it has 10.25 inch screen and blue link connectivity it does not have sunroof and cruise control.
Now Asta is discontinued and Asta (O) is getting launched with sunroof and cruise control. Now cruise control is something I wont miss at all, but sunroof would have been good to have. On flip side would have got only 8 inch screen - but guess 8 inch is wireless car play compared to 10.25.

For now I will feel content with my purchase, as Asta at 12.2 lakhs OTR Bangalore was a stretch from my original budget and Asta (O) might cost another 70 to 80k more
