- The new i20 is here, and this time it’s bereft of any prefixes and suffixes to its name (bye-bye, Elite!). So it’s got new clothes, an updated features list, it’s grown up, and it wants a piece of the action. But is that enough? And the elephant in the room is the new i20’s pricing, which only makes it harder to justify considering the car. Or does it? Raunak goes on a deep-dive to get you as many answers as possible.

Hey #PDArmy, what do you think about the new i20? Tell us below, and if you enjoyed the video, hit that Like button!
@ 0:36
Hyundai really needs to worry about its body structure.
PD would recommend this car?
After we got the GNCAP rating for its sibling i10 Nios? Which scored a poor 2 star rating?
I've booked a Venue. Now I'm not sure whether I should go ahead with the purchase. All gizmos but no safety? For cars that cost 10 lakhs+ ??
What does PD have to say about this?
I wanna know what would @ raunak Ajinkya prefer to go with, if he ever gets to choose among sonet , venue , i20 ?
Overpriced!!!
Honestly, Hyundai should be working on their pricing or this car would swing away with their siblings models(nios). Indian car market is not too wide as earlier. To bring back the customer they need to move on to new generation rather remaking the older one. Also the car buyer are now more looking to try out with newer brands (Kia,tata,mg) hyundai should stop thinking they are master to this market.
Perfectly said. Too costly. Altroz will come up in sales 😍
Me in Hyundai Showroom -
Show me Previous Gen i20
Show me Previous Gen Creta
Show me Venue
Exactly 🤣
I want the original 2015 Elite i20 which had Aventador styled taillights.
Even on the recent older Elite i20 they f***ed up the rear completely and removed the beautiful Aventador styled taillights.
ROFL!
Seriously The new creta face is pathetic for the body it carries. The older generations were too good. Just speaking of looks.
Lol, so true!
@@arjunmukherjee8302 the backend lights looks like Droopy's eyes (the cartoon)
Powedrift should get their old anchors back 🙏
Yeh toh do saal purana comment hai. 2 saal mein aur bekar ho gaya
Hyundai said its made with high strength steel & 100kg lighter.
2* rating incoming😂
aha..now thats the catch
Exactly! Atleast well educated people can stay away from this fancy looking car!
How much lower quality steel they might be using to save those 100kgs!
I mean older i20 basically had nothing unwanted extra in the first place to cut weight in! Unless they've made everything more hollow now.
@K J M the thing which u r talking abut exists for more then 10yrs. Why decreasing weight by 100kilos for only this model. 😂 Metals duniya bhar ke aate hain which are lighter n stronger then iron..still companies are not mad who are still using iron warna buses n trucks ke 1000kgs kam diye hote n train toh is like hawa se baatein karti. Ab ferrari aur lambhorgini ka example maat dene bait jana... 😂😂😂
@K J M exactly bhai wahi kah raha mein. Warna enfield ko hee lelo...complete iron body fir bhi itni costly. Moto gp bikes mein woh materials use hote hain..n tht is why they r so costly. Yahan 5-10 lac segment cars manufacturers pagal banate hain logo ko... Kafi cases toh maine aise dekhe hain..jismein enfield se accident hone par hee gaddi aadi khatam ho jati hai samne se. 😂😂. I hope this new i20 will come with some good material quality.
@K J Msomewhere in new creta promotions they mentioned it being three times more stronger than the previous one. Fact is previous creta got a 4star rating easy and the seltos which basically has the same underpinnings as the creta scored a 3star by hardly .16 points else it would have been a 2star car. Considering even the base variant more or less starts where i20 pricing ends. You think they'll put better quality materials in a cheaper car than their own more expensive car. If the so called "better materials" in seltos couldn't hold up then I'm damn sure i20 ain't gonna be any good either. These are all just marketing terms used. For a fact all cars in this range including maruthi use high strength steel in their structure go check out their heartect platform details.
Anyday i would say altroz diesel xz(o) is far far more value for money!
Wait till Altroz launches with Turbo Petrol and DCT early next year, it'll eat the i20 for breakfast and dinner chopping it into pieces🤣
Or nexon as well
I mean Tata is worth $43Billion vs Hyundai worth $94Billion.
Obviously Hyundai has more money to spend and waste on hire more sales people, open showroom for every 3km for no reason, put fancy ads, hire Shah Rukh Khan, marketing fancy freebie offers, give more cash discount and exchange bonuses than Tata and fool customer into buying their cars.
Obviously with so much targeted marketing, Hyundai will sell more.
@@kiranm25x Only because of Tata's horrendous after sales services people prefer not to buy a Tata car. Otherwise the Altroz is at par if not better than the I20 and the pricing is far better than the I20.
The few things that stops people from buying Tata cars is the poor sales experience and After Sales Service. Other than that they now make their cars tough like a tank.
Agree with the fact that a rear wash wipe has to be made standard for all SUV's and hatchbacks. It really helps in the rains where we have a fair bit of slush flying around !
Nothing can beat the ride quality of i20.. it is more refined and fun to drive
no NCAP stars...
at least they're giving U an air-purifier & a beautiful display for comfortable & smooth death!!
Honestly, I miss the times when Powerdrift used to deliver meaningful accurate reviews.
Bro, the video says 'driven' not 'review'. This might be a first look view.
@@lancelewis3381 Though not a full fledged review and just a brief drive review, I found this video to be absolutely meaningless.
@@vandit945 How is it meaningless? It gives you useful information about the car if you are considering to buy it. It's not like he is singing a song about it?
What about safety?
Has anyone here seen the latest GNCAP safety ratings for Hyundai and Kia cars?
definitely the nios scoring 2 stars and the massive seltos scoring 3 stars.
my miniature polo has 4 stars atleast.with the reliability of VW.
Definitely it'll 2* not more than that for the base model Magna!
Grand Nois, Setlos all have basic DNA of this car, so results will be similar!
Max 3 stars. Hyundai and Kia makes different spec cars for Europe and India. They use inferior quality products on their India spec cars. Altroz with a 5* safety is a way better deal. And for a hot hatch I would go for Polo tsi manual over i20 anyday.
@@Dennis56781000 It's like how people work in office, when Manager is around watching employees and when Manger is on PTO!
Europe has stringent rules and all cars should through crash testing and scrutiny before launching a new car.. whereas in India there is no such rule watching or monitoring car manufacturers, hence the Step-mother treatment to India
@@kiranm25x Indeed Europe has very tough norms pertaining to car safety & pollution. India does have some norms with regards to vehicle safety but it seems they are not good enough or not upto global standards.
Wold love to see a comparison between Altroz, i20 2020 and Polo
We would love to do that! Hang on until we try to get things into place.
Polo is a great car and I own one but it will get destroyed when we start to talk about features. So hold on to this comparison till all new Polo comes to India. 😍
Polo has a great engine but its too old and feature less. I wish Volkswagen started selling the new one.
@@damdardude totally agree
Ford figo be like: analyse..do videos..whateva you want guys. I'm chilling out with my beer here 😎😎😎
Hope GNCAP crash tests this car
Till then Im staying away
You really trust Hyundai after yesterday's GNCAP test results?
+1 Sir 👍🏻👏🏻, I wish many more buyers put safety first in their buying decision like you and take a stand on it.
I'd like to place my bet on less than 3 stars.
@ Even I think so, these big conglomerates think of us Indians nothing worth than what... sunroof?
@@sinuslebastian6366 It was a big eye opener
In my very honest opinion, the Tata Altroz still is the sexiest car in it's segment. No 🧢!
Kick-ass review as always. Covered everything a potential buyer is looking for... What I always feel lacking is the drivability of these cars at night..how quick the car can cool it's space when taking it out from a non covered parking space after a lunch.. Are the headlights on point? Etc.etc... I am looking for slightly more than an excellent review... A car for me is part of family and I need to know practicality of living with it under the same roof :-)
Hey thanks Rajiv, and yes we shall try to cover all those points in the full review!
As an I-20 2016 owner if the front of this version can be fused with rear of 2016 model but with LED lights + dual tone interiors, makes it a complete all season good looking car.
The front of this car looks damn bad. May be I am the only one who thinks this car looks ugly AF. And Venue or Sonet seems to be a way better choice then the I20
The back side is more ugly
side profile and tail lamps are more pathetic.
Ugly AF!
You're not alone
this car looks like a hog 🤣
Great as always..
Where is Rohan?
Hyundai instead of giving air purifier why don't u try to give us 5 star cars like tata and mahindra. Same goes to kia
Finally a nicely edited .. easy transitioned .. beautifully colour corrected PD review vdo after a long long time ... And offcourse the whole review it self ... Kudos to the DOP and the editor ... They have brought back the magic of PD review vdos ...
My main man, Raunak. I saw the notification but couldn't even watch this video until now, stuck with software testing since 11 AM. Whole rounded review Raunak, loved the review and presentation. Absolutely! 🤓. Liked the new "blink and you miss" thought of adding some extended glass on the C pillar, makes it look spacious, really. Yup plastics do look Meh, much like the zens of the yore ! If you know what I mean 😛.
And yes, loved that ending statement, it you don't like towering over anyone, yes!! Sometimes that's not everything or even the essence of existence,driven the point straight home . Well said, Fred, well said 👍👏🙌👏👏
Keep bringing such more amazing reviews, wont bother binge watching them at all 😀🤝. Really shows how much you love driving and the intricacies associated. Job well done 💯👍👏
So hyundai doesn't mention weight on their website? Strange
@ 🤣
Coz they are heavy
@@commentguy7 what joke. Hyundai cars are heavy. Same was with Verna . they didn't publish it. Reason it was too overweight and casted a shadow on claimed mileage.... Get the fact right
@@athulskumar9361 it will still score less than 3 stars. Just like nios yeahh
@@athulskumar9361 i20 is 100 kg lighter than old version
It looks perfect....... Probably has a bit too much chrome for my liking but .....I'd buy it
I really appreciate how you mentioned about isofix, rear wash wipe and adjustable headrests to be made standard across variants, but you guys let us down by just not talking about build quality and safety. This should be the first thing that should be mentioned in any review.
Yes the new Hyundai 120 is a Great looking car. Its the best in the segment and it will be. It looks stylish, sporty and sharper as well. Its bigger in size to. The new i20 also come lot of features like a 10inch touchscreen, fully digital cluster,and more. Then there are more engine options, and the favorite is 1 litter turbo petrol which comes with a 7 speed DCT and IMT as well. Yes there are some negatives like the interior could have been slightly better. And the price is little on the higher side. Still the i20 makes makes a strong case in segment to be the best car. it is still the segment leader . Its an overall nice package. 👍❤️😁🤩.
Always loved Volkswagen and other international brand like Hyundai untill I bought TATA altroz I feel more safe now and feel my money was spent wisely .....
yeah the turbo petrol might be great fit with the chassis but small engines with turbos dont last, they wear out a lot quicker than naturally aspirated ones.
Do'n't know why PD reviews have become more like the mainstream reviews. Didn't expect your reviews to be so bland and flavourless.
Don't worry, Sharath! This was just the first drive with limited time! You shall get what you expect in the full review, when we get to do it on our terms.
Pinky promise?
@@powerdriftofficial Awwwh
my budget is 7.5L so should i consider BASE MODEL in my list which also includes tata altroz xm+ and swift facelift vxi
Other than the price...this car is awesome in every way. It is the segment best. Would love to see the 6MT on turbo petrol instead of that iMT.
And yes adding a turbo charger to the engine makes it a while lot expensive. Extra piping, plumbing, cooling, intercooler, bigger injectors, timing and endless stuff. For all ppl who cry it costs more..yes coz a Turbo ain't cheap, it's rewarding on sprinted driving anyday than the NA engines
C'mon at that price they should atleast provide safer cars. This car will not get more than 3 stars in crash test. As far as turbo is concerned again Altroz turbo will cost lot less and is rated 5 stars for safety. Also you can't expect fun to drive quotient from Hyundai, Polo Tsi or Figo TDCi would anyday be better fun to drive vehicles, they too cost less.
@@Dennis56781000 polo TSI is old af. No updates on that car at all since launched. Prolly git half of the features of the i20. Safety will have to see how much the car gets. The 2 gen had 4 stars I guess...this too could make it there
Here's the deal:
The top model is Asta (O) - with Sunroof.
i20 Asta (O) 1.2L Manual costs 10.4 Lakhs (On Road - Delhi)
i20 Asta (O) 1 L Turbo DCT costs 13 Lakhs (On Road - Delhi)
I am hands down a huge huge fan of this car and will emotionally buy this one and I have the budget for both - but do you think the difference of 3 lakhs is worth it for Turbo 1 Litre with DCT? With absolutely same features inside?
The problem with so many features is sometimes important ones are omited. My 2014 Hyundai i20Asta for example did not have a distance to empty read. Which i would have counted as a basic feature.
Edit. I did not like it (2021 i20) at first. But now i kinda do. Not a fan of the back though. My i20 has a sick back with fang like tail lights.
Advise of you will recommend the current I20 Sportz variant to a new buyer by start of 2023?
Sorry but the car tail lamp just doesn't fit my taste 😩
I feel Sonet or Altroz is a better deal for sure buying one between the both🔥🔥
Idk why they don't offer an actual manual instead of an iMT on the turbo. It would get the price lower an do better justice to the engine too. Plus it feels like an actual enthusiast's car with a manual and not pretentious like the iMT. They could've offered the iMT on the regular 1.2L engine tho.
Nice review..
Since only 30K difference is there, Which is comparatively better I20 DCT Asta (O) or Venue DCT SX+ in terms of drive , handling, suspension, features, safety and value for money ?
Well the price bracket is the BIGGEST thing that can't be overlooked 😅 Really really tough one when you can get bigger and kinda better at this price range
Why not the Altroz?
Looks better than everything else and as usual with the best host indeed
Like you said, The 1 litre turbo petrol paired with the DCT gearbox is the best option for this car
alan mathew yeah and you pay 12 lakhs for that variant. Non-sensical much?
You can get the verna sx petrol in 13 lakhs it even comes with a sunroof 😂🤣
👍 😁 What about Kia sonet
@@yasermohiuddin1347 🗼🗼
Oh wait till Hyundai jacks up the prices of Verna after Jan 2021
13.5 Lakhs for this? I’d rather get an Ecosport.
considering this i20 is based on nios platform and which has got 2 stars in safety rating, it wouldn't be a surprise that i20 is or will be less on safety too.
And people who are searching or want a hatchback Altroz is a more sensible choice for them in every aspect.
Also the new i20 is 100 kilos lighter than the outgoing model. Hyundai is literally footing Indians with the phrase "high strength steel". This car will not get more than 3 stars in GNCAP.
Which car should I prefer,
1- Kia Sonet GTX MT 1.5 Ltr Diesel
or
2- i20 Asta Optional 1.2 ltr petrol.
I have normal use and less travelling.
I am looking for a family car.
My family size is of 5 people and max 5'6 height.
Please reply me immediately.
I need a quick suggestion.
I have booked sonet in November and want to cancel my booking and book i20 to save some 3-4 lakhs and get same features on the cost of sacrificing sonet looks.
The host must understand that he's a reviewer not a Hyundai salesman! As a viewer and a proud comrade of PD army, we expect honest review please :)
And with hand on heart, this is an honest review! And we promise to be honest forever. We speak what we think. :)
Okay, here's the thing. I love the way the car looks, I can't complain about the features. Hyundai is reliable and plush. But, even when a review is trying to praise it for what it is - there are red flags. Like the top of the dash, the quality of the plastics on the door console. That's my only gripe with paying 13L for a hatch. I love hatches, I love DCTs and I'd say I wouldn't say no to a sunroof. But c'mon, if you're charging an insane amount of money. Atleast let us, the user - feel that upmarket niche bit.
Great review. However still lost whether I should go for i20 sports or Sonet HTK. Plz advise.
Why do you feel it could have been lil more premium with a Dual Tone!
Might be subjective, but the best interiors are colored in Black. I do agree on plastic quality part, but hey.. it's Back 😎
Love this car
Loved this video
Congratulations on 2 million Powerdrift
A fan for 7 years now 😁 ❤️
And when Raunak says
I like it...I like it A LOT
You know the car has to be good❤️😁
wow sir editing mai jo kaam krte ho koi nahi krsakta esi editing 💥💥👏👏👏
Arey, shukriya Tarun ji!
No matter what the hefty price tag is, it's gonna sell like hot cakes.Great Review PD team!!👍 Big Fan here and also Big CONGRATULATIONS FOR 2 MILLION 😎🙌🙌
Apart from the video, now I'm also thrilled to listen to the tracks that are being played in the background. Please mention the tracks as well😁😁
Hyundai i20 has improved a lot, feels like a Verna, drive it to experience it
Having seen the car just in the photos & videos, I believe that the dashboard could have been more premium with its plastic and the dual-tone colour or the coloured vents. Overall, i20 has no comparison when it comes to satisfaction in the ride quality and how the car manages to handle sharp turns.
I really love hot hatches. I follow any video on the internet which showcases the mini cooper, civic type r, focus rs or a golf but to be honest the i20 is not a hot hatch. It is a barely pushing the sporty mark but still priced similar to that of the entry level Creta. The top model swift or polo gt is a better option.
I hope Hyundai correct the prices...its too expensive... I will buy and Breeza or Nexon instead...but as always great reviews.. congratulations for 2 million mark...
The front looks good don't get me wrong, but it think if only they had lifted the bonnet just a bit it would've looked even better.
need your valuable suggestion here. My budget is 8.5lakhs and looking for a petrol car only. Have two cars in mind honda jazz v variant and new i20. Please give your input?
Should buy altroz XT or i20 sportz variant in petrol?
Which one is better in maintance cost and mileage?
You should buy Altroz for 5 star safety rating alone. Everything is secondary, if you want some fun to drive vehicle buy Polo Tsi.
The more I see of Raunak's work, the more I like his way of presentation.
One of the questions I wanted to ask was about the refinement levels.
Does the 3 Cylinder Turbo petrol match the refinement levels of the 1.2L Petrol?
Shall I go for petrol CVt
I don't really think it looks ugly... It looks decent, but the only dissapointing thing is that Hyundai hasn't bought it's sportier N trim here. If they do, I would love it.
Sigh! Hyundai hope you are listening!
We expect you guys to speak up about safety too considering the NCAP ratings of Hyundai and Kia cars recently. Encourage people to focus on safety as a deciding factor as it's a very important issue but nobody cares about it.
I will go with ALTROZ and save that extra 2.5lakh OR rather buy a KTM with that money..... In the end... Family bhi khush..... Mey bhi khus 😄🤟🏻...... Peace ✌🏻
Could we talk about safety for a moment?
Last time I checked i20 is based on grand i10 nios's platform. Pricing invades around 13otr and that too with unstable body!
I expected better from you guys
The intention of Hyundai is clear from the Rear of i20 - To Compete with Altroz.
Bro come on its a universal design. They didn't design it especially considering Indian market but the Global market. Its a worldwide product.
@@Car_Factory_007 I Know it! But no other Hyundai Models comes with a Piano Black Insert at the behind, Just like the Altroz.
@@akshaypj406 bro if they doesn't provide this piano black finish then that chrome line is going to look like shit.
All cars of Hyundai own a great design
But somehow the design doe not feel as good as the previous one!!! It might be feature loaded as compared to rivals and also better driving ,but in terms of looks may be people will take time to accept the goodness of the design just like the new Creta!!!!!
Raunak is growing with each and every video being produced !
Its sticking to the 1.2L NA petrol because that would help keep price in check and give them 60-70% of customers at the end of day 😆
the front looks good, but that rear tail light looks weird compared to its previous classy looks. I guess everyone hated this design because old one looked really good with that glossy black C pillar etc.. btw is there any comparo video coming out between this and altroz??
I think the companies need to brainstorm what they want to offer at this price point. I would easily pick one with a more premium feeling cabin rather than surrounded by a bucket loads of gimics.
i would still buy i20 eventho i love suv because of its safety features and when u have more torque then venue is much important
What is a better option kia sonet or i20 ???
The price is going to kill it. It's a big no for me just because of the price.
Honest question dont you think its way over prised? And would you chose altroz or i20 keeping price in mind which is value for money according to u @powerdrift?
Depends on what is your definition of value for money! It can differ from person to person.
This is an excellent first ride review Ajinkya. But I could really see your face saying "No, it is not worth it", even while you were recommending it hand over heart.
Altroz diesel anytime over i20 looking at the price
Altroz definitely has stronger build quality and looks upmarket
I20 pricing for too end variants too pricey ...12 lakhs for a hatchback is utter non sense
Like Indica
I don't know what others feel about, but the new i20 from the front looks more like DC Avanti. Isn't it ????
Altroz can’t match i20’s engine refinement and infotainment graphics.
Hatch backs have a charm of their own and I like the way it looks and the features list too but for me Altroz is better because its a better drivers car.
what a best looking car. Bold steps taken by hyundai.
Should have given led lights similar to international model
That probably would have made it even more expensive.
Tata cars entering chat....
But not entering sales lol. If TATA got 1/4th of this support in sales, they'd be doing better than being the 18th best selling car in the country
@@aswin1690 : Good things take time to happen. Not everyone affords land rover and jaguar.
Is it as safe as Altroz?
Happy Diwali PD army.!!! Well I need some suggestion from u guys which varient should I purchase the diesel or the patrol and which model on a budget of 8L to 9L ????
Hey PD! Nice review. Can you please help us know more on how the headlamp is? I own an Asta (O) BS4 version & not so happy with its projector setup on highways especially, it simply lacks that throw & illumination isn't sufficient 😅
We shall try to find that out in the full review!
Since power to the rider i am the subscriber of you...since then i feel the quality is a lot degraded....i mean i cant make a car buying decision by watching your videos i have bought a 200ns back then when the two legends reviewed it...now these videos are the perfect videos for brands to play in their showroom but not for the customers
I get it, new i20 have best in class power but what about the handling!
i mean hach with 120HP really needs good steering feedback to fully utilize that power.
True
It does justice..the chasis is stiffer than the old gen car
I will stick with my old i20 thank you at least it actually looks sporty and have the performance, and the plastic aint cheap
Everything aside the who ever has done the shots for this video they are awesome loved them ✌🏽
No one is talking about the front , all are worried about the back which just does not click!! and why does the Indian market get wheel designs like that always. Why not something that goes with the car
Safety rating ?
Can 1.2L be good or the Turbo only?
Hey Raunak! You are so honest when reviewing a product man. Love the way you present. Keep rocking buddy :) And ya Happy Diwali to all :)
Where is the verana turbo
How it functions front sensor
I think the ncap scores should be displayed as they do with power figures,.what you all think?
Altroz is no match for the i20. The only chance it has is with the 1.2 turbocharged from the Nexon but then even some Nexon owner don't quite like that engine.
@ nCaP rAtInGs
that's all y'all got to say 😭
I think VW will bring the new generation Polo because of i20's top varient price upwards of rupees 11 lakhs
🤞
That would be so much fun!
Tough and Hyundai are best avoided being used together these days. 😅
Problem is the enthusiasts .....
For the pricing of the top end variant....I'd pay an extra lakh or two for a THAR 😁
Lington Daniel you can get a base variant or mid variant Thar for the same price!
Potential THAR buyers don't look at "hatchbacks".... That argument of yours doesn't at all make any sense..... Ridiculous
@@debanjanmukherjee4322 🙄 I mentioned the enthusiasts part
Debanjan Mukherjee and he was just stating the range of options you have at 12 lakhs like offroaders, sedans, CSUVs etc. Don't argue just for the sake of it
@@lingtondaniel my friend, "Enthusiasts" don't cater to offroading only..... An f1 driver who drives fast on tarmac and a Rally driver who can go anywhere are both driving "Enthusiasts"....... An "Enthusiast" who longed for, Ford Figo S and Tata Tiago JTP looked for fun to drive on tarmac quotient and cornering without lifting much on twisty roads, whereas an "Enthusiast" pushing for mud bath and dune bashing would absolutely crave for a Thar...... You are misinterpreting the word "Enthusiast" rather, and that's my point.....
