Totally agree. Even though my diesel sportz has automatic climate control I always use it in manual mode. But it does add to the look of the cabin. The manual setup sticks out like a sore thumb and looks outdated in a cabin which looks futuristic.
I think they introduced the automatic control for sportz variants around March 2022, pretty much after new Baleno was launched. Strange to see them removing feature within a year.

They have not removed the AUTO climate control. You can get one with manual or Auto AC. Difference of 3500rs for both variants. If you want your car very soon you choose Manual AC, the auto AC sports model will take 8-10 weeks.

Hello. I am thinking of buying i20 for my dad. Can current manual and automatic owners share their respective mileage? My dad's adamant on manual because of mileage concerns.
Also, any ideas of what type of discounts you are getting?
My local dealer is offering i20 sports manual petrol for 885 in first round of negotiations (OTR price with excess insurance money is 915)

Newbie first-time owner update:
Took my i20 Magna to Morni hills for the first time yesterday and its performance was pathetic, to say the least. On inclines, 2nd gear was useless. In fact, while the gear shift indicator would suggest upshifting as per speed and RPM but on steeper inclines as soon as put the car in 2nd gear, revs would drop and the engine has virtually no power thus I had to downshift to get it moving again. Is it something to be expected of its engine or something wrong with it or just plain dumb driving?

The petrol manual in our family gives around 16-17 kmpl on highway and around 11-12 in the traffic. The traffic is mix of B2B and slow moving vehicles.

It is expected with Hyundai's NA engines. The power is very linear and it is around 82 bhp max. Even on flat roads they would take their sweet time.

While coming back from the same trip, late in the night, I got a flat in the rear passenger side. Gave it to the local"puncture walla" and picked it up yesterday. He showed me the "tumorous bump" in a couple of places on the tire after inflating it with just 10PSI of air. He said that this tire is done for and I should ask Hyundai to replace it as it was a relatively new tire (car bought in August 2022 and done 18K so far). If they don't do so then I should get a new one from the after-market dealers.
If anyone else had a similar experience, will Hyundai folks replace it without too much of a hassle or am I better off going to outside dealers?

[KadiNiSikhiya]

Went to the Hyundai service center, and they told me to take it to a local Bridgestone dealer whom they have tie up with. If he refuses to replace it then they'll escalate the matter. There was another customer present there who concurred with me as his brother's Creta also faced a similar issue but to a higher degree wherein his tire actually burst after puncture repair. The service Agent tried to put it on me that I shouldn't have repaired it or must have driven car with a flat. I told him that I replaced it with a spare as soon as TPMS gave the indication of a flat and secondly if I hadn't got the tire repaired then I wouldn't have discovered this issue.

Is wireless Android auto working seamlessly for everyone? It works flawlessly when phone is connected with cable but I drive long distances so it is fully charged during my journey so I try to connect without cable when my phone reaches 100%
The issue is it does not connect at the first go. First it displays the message " Disconnecting Xyz's phone please wait" even though I had deleted that xyz phone from the connection list. So 50% of the time it fails to connect in the first attempt. So as a work around I delete my device and start from scratch. Even then sometimes after it is connected successfully, it automatically disconnects. Is there a work around for this?

I am looking for some advice here, I know that this thread is for i20. I am confused between Altroz XZA ( DCA ) vs i20 Automatic.
People who own i20, can you please let me know if you tested Altorz before booking i20? and what is your feedback?
Primary usage will be city only with occasional highway ( once is 3-4 months )

From the owner of an i20 Turbo DCT:

1. If fuel efficiency matters to you, I would suggest the Baleno AMT. Dont even look at i20/Altroz in that case.

2. i20 DCT is far better than the Altroz DCT, mainly because of the lacklustre Tata engine. Hyundai’s 1.0 GDi Turbo is an absolute gem in comparison.

3. If your usage is mainly City focused I will suggest the i20 iVT instead of the DCT. The CVT gearbox is far better suited to city conditions than any DCT/DSG.

4. If you go for the i20 or the Altroz petrol please bear in mind that fuel efficiency is going to be disappointing at best.

5. Fit and finish, quality and durability of a Hyundai product is far better than that of any Tata. The i20 will be far more reliable and trouble-free than an Altroz.

6. Take your time, Drive all the cars, and buy the one that convinces you the most. That’s all that matters.

Hi all

I am considering i20 Nline N8. Any updates regarding i20 next generation update? I read on autocar that in Dec 2022, they saw car testing. But no news later on.

The i20 has just entered the third year of what is typically a six year product-lifecycle. So the next generation is at least 3 years away. A facelift however could be possible by the end of the year. Maybe in time for the festive season.

No they have removed automatic climate control from sportz variant. I recently bought a I20 sportz variant and there is no option to choose automatic climate control, It only comes with manual ac

Interesting! We were given 2 prices. The sales guy showed 2 different pricing from his price list and told me auto AC version would have waiting period. It was clearly mentioned in their price list.

The manual AC just looked so out of place on that dashboard. Anyway congratulations on your new car, its a looker. How do you find the lights to be during night?

Yes, It's a looker especially in the night. Mine is in starry night shade. Manual ac controls are an eyesore and looks out of place in this car. But spending more than a lakh for the asta variant is not value for money. Lights are average but that is expected as it is halogens
