Pros & Cons

Things We Don't Like

•Features like rear AC vents, a better sound system and load sensors in the seats feel like a miss by today’s standards
•Rear seat could be better with adjustable headrests and central armrest
•AMT transmission: Feels slow and jerky when you ask for anything more than regular commutes

Hyundai i20

Things We Like

•Stylish appeal: A youthful hatchback that easily turns heads wherever it goes
•Rear seat comfort: Three passengers can sit at the back without feeling cramped, making it practical for daily use

Things We Don't Like

•Limited engine options: Comes with only a naturally aspirated petrol engine, while the turbo-petrol is restricted to the sportier N Line variant
