Hyundai i20 Elite, a Beautiful Dissapointment?

-





 At first glance, anyone will fall in love with the new Hyundai i20 which was launched in India on 5th November. The i20 is completely upgraded in every sense possible, the exterior is transformed and some key upgrades are the headlights, puddle lamps front grille and alloys, the front, side and back profile are nothing like the older versions. The in Transterior has tons of upgrades, the Creta styled steering which gives a feeling of comfort, metallic pedals, a 10inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto integrated with driver's display console(not common in this segment), a better legroom and under thigh support, a digital cluster MID, electronic sunroof, front and rear USB charger, Oxyboost air purifier, wireless charger with cooling pad, blue ambient lighting and a fully automatic temperature control. The car looks very premium from the interior but the quality of the material used inside the cabin could have been better.   





In terms of performance, i20 is powered by a new 1.5lt U2 diesel, producing 99bhp and 240Nm torque available in only with a 6 speed manual gearbox and a 1Lt Turbo and1.2Lt Kappa Petrol engines available in a manual and a 7 speed Dual Clutch Transmission. The fuel efficiency varies from 19.25 - 25.2 kmpl(on paper).







In terms of Price, the i20 has a difference of a little over 1Lakhs in its Ex-Showroom and On Road Price. The range starts from7.75 Lakhs and the top end variant is priced at 13.12 Lakhs(On Road Price).The i20 Elite is priced  around 2 Lakhs more than the older version (top end variant), which is the reason why the Indian market is not very happy from the car. The price competitors of the i20 are Kia Sonet ,Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. 


In my opinion, Hyundai has completely raised the bar with the new i20 and introduced major and some never seen before in the segment changes. The price is a little a high but it has everything you could've asked for and even the features that you didn't. If you have the money you should seriously consider buying the car.

 2020 is about to end and this is believed to be the best time when people should buy a new car. The reason behind this is a car normally costs cheaper at the year end than what it would cost if you buy it at any other time of the year, at the end of the year the companies want to clear up the leftover stock as new stock has to arrive, there are various holiday discounts during this time of the year and certain schemes help to save money during insurance. So today I am going to be talking about the top 5 cars which I believe are the best products to buy between the range of  7-10Lakhs(in ascending order). 1. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Starting at 8.52Lakhs Maruti Suzuki has remained one of the most trusted brands since the last decade and every car they launch attracts huge numbers of buyers, the reason behind this is the vast service network, high fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs and non-expensive cars. The Ertiga is the car to buy if you are looking for trustable products al...

The Safari is longer and has roof rails(only in the variants without sunroof), the rear profile looks fresh because of the design of the LED rear lamp, the car is based on the Land Rover derived OMEGARC architecture. Interior From inside the Safari is very similar to the Harrier except for the colour scheme and the finishing to various panels. However, the Safa...
