    I have driven hyundai i20 for almost 10 years and I love how feature rich and reliable the car is. It comes with great looks, Ahead of its time features and works always as intended, almost negligible service center visits. Engine generates decent power for most of the tasks and hardly feels underpowered even with full seating. Total value for money car.

    Proud owner of i20, the one I've owned and driven since 2016. It's not the fastest, but its unwavering reliability and premium comfort have made it an incredible companion. My confidence in this car was solidified during a challenging 14-day, 6,238 km road trip to Leh Ladakh. The Elite i20 handled the entire journey without a single issue, delivering a truly fuss-free and memorable experience for my family, friends and me. For me, a car's value is defined by its dependability and the memories it helps create, and the i20 has proven itself on both counts.

    I found i20 to be a convenient purchase as a budget car. It is simple to drive and have ample space. It's compact and nice. And the seats are comfortable too. i20 is one of the best, most urban looking hatchback out there and Hyundai has one of the best service network in India, spares are easily available and don't cost a fortune.

    i20 might not be the flashiest or the fastest, but it struck the perfect balance between practicality and driving pleasure for me. What I loved most about the i20 was how sorted everything felt. The exterior design was clean and premium-looking, with just enough character lines to give it presence without being loud. Even today, it doesn't look outdated which says a lot for a nearly decade-old hatchback. Step inside, and it felt way more upmarket than what you'd expect from a car in this segment. Soft-touch elements, that dual-tone dashboard, the chunky steering wheel, it just gave you the feel of a car that was built with attention to detail. Even small things like the quality of switches and stalks made it feel like Hyundai went the extra mile. From a driving perspective, it was calm and composed. Not a race machine, but it wasn't meant to be. The suspension was tuned for Indian roads it absorbed bumps well without getting too floaty at highway speeds. The 1.2L petrol engine was refined, smooth, and paired decently with the manual gearbox. I still remember how easy it was to drive

    It's an amazing car with a great driving experience. Its modernistic style is simply amazing, with loads of features. The all-black interior reduces engine noise inside. The mileage is a bit less compared to nearby cars in the same price range, but it's still worth it. It's definitely value for money at the available price point, and even in the base model, almost all the practical features are available.

    Excellent design, good stability, nice seats and interior. The Sportz variant is value for money better than other cars in the design and 1.2 L engine is refined and powerful. The interior space is excellent and rear seats are more comfortable than any other car in its segment.

    Elite i20 diesel always felt premium for its time. The engine was smooth, highway mileage was excellent, and interior quality felt above segment. Rear seat space is a bit tight for three adults, and ground clearance sometimes touched on bad bumps, but overall it was a refined hatch with great comfort.

    I’ve been using the Hyundai i20 Sportz model for over a year now. What I love the most is its smooth drive and the premium feel inside the cabin. The touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto is super convenient, and the mileage is quite decent in the city. A great option for daily use.
