Re: Hyundai i20 Review

Now the Asta variant got sunroof and cruise control and yet it misses out on rear adjustable headrests, sadly this variant is still not available in Diesel. Wish Sportz trim would have gotten LED headlamps instead of digital instrument cluster.

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

I was told by multiple dealers here in Chennai that they have discontinued iMt variants in i20. Looks like that was never the case.

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

The timing couldn't be better. Clearly, it is the Baleno and Altroz effect.

I was looking to replace my 8-year-old Grand i10 1.2P MT Sportz with a new car, and the i20 Sportz IVT was looking like the best option on a budget. The new Baleno is out of contention because it is an AMT - and no matter what, if I'm paying more than 10L for a car, an AMT doesn't cut it, and Tata's Altroz with its lack of refinement isn't my cup of tea.

If the new i20 Sportz 1.0 DCT is well-priced, I think I've found my ideal car (now with the addition of cruise control and automatic climate control).

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

Hyundai has updated the price section of the i20 on its website. It now lists the price of the newly-launched 1.2 Petrol Asta (O) IVT variant. Below is a screenshot for your reference.

Hyundai, however, has not updated the brochure of the car. Maybe it will in the next few weeks. Also, I think the price of the Asta (O) 1.2 CVT variant is quite reasonable. You get a smoother gearbox, slightly better build quality, and a couple of extra features compared to the Baleno Alpha AGS for a premium of around INR 1,00,000.

On a related note, I’m thinking about cancelling the booking of my Kia Sonet GTX Plus 1.5 Diesel AT and getting the Hyundai i20 Asta (O) 1.5 Diesel Manual. But I won’t do that until I see the new brochure. I need to know for sure how many features did Hyundai add and/or delete from the top-end variant.

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

Hyundai gave cruise control in Sportz variant & that too with a 1.2L engine. It would have been better, if they provided a rear wiper which is much useful instead of this gimmick.

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

My i20 1.0 turbo sportz is due for 2nd service. This involves changing engine oil.
The Hyundai website which gives service cost estimates quotes 1357/- for 3.6 liters which is mineral oil. Hyundai i20 Review-screenshot_2022031321121144_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg
The owner's manual OTOH states using mineral oil is considered as severe operating condition

It's confusing to say the least. Any inputs from owners?
I'm planning to buy synthetic oil from outside and take it to HASS for change during service.

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

My wife ordered the i20 N line N8 DCT on Feb 15th 22 and we were promised the car by 15th March 22. After the entire amounts have been paid up, the dealerships calls to tell us there is no stock coming out of Hyundai for the last 2 weeks, with a possible delay by another month. Anyone else facing a similar issue?

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

Is it not possible, or rather not recommended to install seat covers on Asta (O) since it has 6 airbags?

Re: Hyundai i20 Review

Hi fellow members,
This is my first post on the forum.Just wanted to ask for a query,

I own a 2021 I20 sportz 1.5 diesel, My car did not come with automatic climate control as standard. However, the 2022 i20 sportz comes with it, Is it possible for me to get it retrofitted to my car ? Has anyone here done this before ?

I would really appreciate your inputs.

I got the chance to take the i20 Turbo DCT on two long-ish test drives. Definitely felt a lot more mature than both my current Grand i10 and the Grand i10 NIOS AMT test drive car - extremely refined, the car feels planted at higher speeds, the steering isn't very lifeless, the ride is a little stiffer (almost Euro car-like) and sharp bumps filter through, but I can live with that. Another thing that I felt like I'd have to get used to turbo lag. Distinctly felt it while taking a sharp U-turn in traffic below a flyover.

I had my heart (and budget) set on the Grand i10 NIOS AMT, but the test drive just wasn't fulfilling enough. The gearbox was great by AMT standards, but that apart, it just didn't feel like an upgrade, it felt like my existing Grand i10 in slightly newer clothes.

The announcement of the 2022 Sportz variant with the Turbo DCT config was like music to my ears. It meant getting a superior car for a slightly higher budget.

Little unhappy with some of the compromises at this price point with the i20, but you can't have your cake and eat it as well. Now to tide through the long waiting period

The Hyundai India website states ACEA C2 engine oil as basically 0W30 available at a price of Rs. 399/ltr. With that price the oil change cost that they have quoted doesnt seem to be too off.

However, I am a bit surprised as to how Hyundai can sell a 0W30 fully synthetic oil at that price unless they’re subsidising it to maintain low cost of ownership. Eitherway, see if the dealer offers the oil at that price.

During the 10k service of my i20 turbo the workshop (Arsh Hyundai Mumbai) used 5W30 oil telling me that that is also ok for the 1.0 GDi. I made a mistake by letting them use that oil. Please ensure that you dont. The engine is considerably rougher than what it was earlier and I’m going to stick to the ACEA C2 oil henceforth.

I spoke with the service manager at Advaith Hyundai Indiranagar and he said that 5W 30 for approx 380/- a liter is mineral oil and that's what they use for the GDI engine.

However that do stock synthetic oil @ 800 a liter which they would use if you wanted to.

I think I would go in for mix of 2 liters synthetic and rest mineral to get a semi synthetic.

Please dont mix synthetic with semi synthetic or vice versa. Basically dont mix two different grades of oil. Stick to one grade only.

Regarding his claim of synthetic @800 Rs. a litre, please show him the below screenshot from hyundai india website. It clearly shows ACEA C2 (OW 30)oil @399 per litre. Ask him about it.


But once again, whatever you decide to fill, please dont mix two different types/grades of oil at any time unless its an emergency!

Got my second free service done this morning at Advait Hyundai Indiranagar. Car was exactly 12 months old and 8500 on the odometer. They filled 3.6 liters of BS VI Turbo Petrol Engine oil @ 338 per liter. Oil filter cost 75 and something called car care for 200. Let me see how she runs and will update.
