Hyundai has updated the Asta O variant. The new one is 40,000 INR costly but comes with 6 Airbag, Speed sensing door lock, and Height Adjustable Seatbelt. Looks like value for money still.
nice review gagan i am planing to buy a car but got confused between Baleno,Elite i20 and i20 active. people have complained abt the suspension of baleno and discomfort on rare seats and weak body,so i thought of giving up on baleno could u tell me how is the suspension of elite and can it run nicely on rough and rugged roads,on hills,can i plan out for a long journey once in a month in elite with my family i dont want to waste money on i20 active just for sporty look and ground clearance *i will opt for petrol version* and what is the mileage after first service thanks
rohan verma Baleno will give you mileage but no good comfort. i20 will not give you mileage but all other things are present. Don't worry much about suspension. It might feel bad in very bad roads and on some big speed breakers but one can live with it.
people who say its underpowered do not understand the difference between liner power delivery and sudden power delivery, the sudden power delivery gives you an illusion that it is very powerful, but linear gives a balanced delivery
May be, I have driven i20 petrol I feel 2nd gear as a dead gear and below 2000 rpm power is very less though this power is ok for regular commuter I do feel this is the cause for low fuel efficiency and when comes to the point linear power delivery this can be managed in normal driving roads but when comes to hill area and fly over climbings driving during heavy traffic with such engine makes us go weird..
Nice review.....turbo lag generally occurs in the diesel cars, since diesel is an oil and petrol is a spirit, both these fuels have different ways of burning, diesel never burns very easily whereas petrol burns completely without much residue even with a small spark. Diesel car engines uses compression technique to burn the diesel because its very important to compress the diesel to increase its temperature so that it can catch fire, and an equal amount of diesel creates just double the heat and combustion compared to petrol, because first its an oil and secondly its more dense than petrol which is a spirit, this is the reason why even after having the same horsepower in diesel and the petrol car, the diesel car delivers just double the torque and double the mileage than a petrol car model. The only problem with diesel is that after it burns completely it produces a lot of black carbon smoke as a residue which is as heavy as dust and even settles down on the ground, a lot of carbon gets blocked in diesel car exhaust pipe, hose pipes and filters etc, so regular replacement of these components is required in limited intervals. But since petrol is a clean fuel from spirit family, it burns completely without much fuss and solid residue except some gases which are less harmful than diesel residual components.
dipankar singh Turbo lag only happens with engines that are turbocharged and hence the name turbo lag. And also, it doesn't matter if it is either a petrol or a diesel engine. It is the time taken by the turbo to spool up and for that compressed air to travel through the pipes to reach the engine.
This is the type of information a reviewer will never get and hence will not convey forward, a perfect review from an actual owner's perspective! Really helpful!!!
Awesome job Gagan. This was a detailed and unbiased review what most people out there are really looking for. I liked it that you also brought up the negative points of this car. So if someone buys it due to your review, he will thank you. And if someone changes mind due to the negative points you brought forward, he would really thank you because I think no sales person would ever highlight that. Liked it. Thanks
sir ,your videos are so useful i watched almost every video ,i purchased i20 asta (optional) petrol of Black colour on 10 april '17 ,I'm totally satisfied but my father is not happy with its mileage😂
Actually.. I too have same car. I got Non A-C 17 in extreme condition (Kerala)(worst and narrow roads) 20 in good road condition (Karnataka, NH 275) 18 in Ghat section 13 - 15 in Bengaluru city traffic. AC : 13 - 14 in a good highway In City 9-10. You dont get more than 10 in City with AC
Nice video Brother.. I a confused between i20 and baleno. Your video has made my choice quite clear specially where you have addressed the underpower issue.
Very useful review, different from typical reviews which are posted by Auto Portals... information which you have shared.. even Hyundai sales person was not having so much of information....Highly appreciate your gesture in handling all the queries of viewers... Thumps up for u....
Dear Gagan ji Plz help and advise. I purchased elite i20 asta model on 9th aug 2018. I am facing issue in ac. It’s get stopped automatically...ac is on but it doesn’t give air and cooling. It has happened 5 times with me in 20 days, today it happened 3 times. In this case please advise should I get it repaired with dealer or should I take complete replacement of car??Plz plz help
Thank you for your nook and cranny analysis ,I decided finally to buy Baleno petrol alpha ,I have several confusion while buying a car , i20 elite was also in my list, after your review I dropped going for this car.
Hey buddy post more videos on other cars too, u have a good future as an auto journalist.Its bcoz u talk a lot in practical sense like the problems that we face in this car and its solutions.Yes u were right about the indicators,most of the time i turn off the indicators manually. Excellent Review!!!!
intailly i was also little concerned about mileage bt im getting 14+ with ac on all time(70% on highways nd 30% in city).....so with turning off ac i will get 16........i checked twice nd i got 14.3 nd 14.5 ....
Bruh!! My Hyundai Elite i20 Asta 1.2 has a higher body roll while cornering in a speed of 60-70!! And even headlights are very weak!! Fees that its a torch attached to car when we are driving in highway!!
Body roll is something I have never experienced. And headlights are a bit weak but projectors are good headlamps. Adjust height properly and use fog lamps too if you want more. But please keep on low beam always on roads with no dividers.
Then upgrade to Osram or Philips bulbs sir. I am getting the Asta O model soon and would be upgrading to HID since it would come with projector. HID's are the only thing missing in i20 compared to Baleno.
Great level of detailing. I own elite i20 since last one year and through this video I have been able to know some hidden facts such as climate control sensor placement impact.
nice detailed review.. your efforts are truly amazing trying to explain almost all the doubts covered in a single video. I kept comparing Volkswagen polo allstar 1.5 TDI with elite i20 1.4 CRDI asta optional for over a period of 5 months.considering after sale services and maintenance , mileage,features, build in quality,well engineered engine, more likely a car that understands you.usually I don't sit and type long comments but after I saw your effort and thought there are people out there searching for the answers for the chaos to choose between the present hot hatchbacks competition.I have to tell that I've driven almost all the cars starting from premier padmini, 118, fiat UNO(which i owned for about 5 years) lancer, ambassador, maruti 800, maruti omni, 407 engine befitted in a jeep! even a police gipsy! and all recent cars and tractors like mahindra, john deer.. I can't remember all the names but yea list goes on including Benz, bmw and Audi for viewers info I'm not a pro driver.. it's just a crazy thing that i do.. talking about the hatchbacks I didn't chose maruti since they are everywhere.. I always find unique vehicles. I've bought a new polo allstar 1.5 TDI over the elite i20 1.4 CRDI asta(O) with 6 airbags. I don't say dimensions and all ...polo doesn't come with DRL's and reverse parking camera and infotainment system as both audio- video type. as people know Hyundai is good for its features I don't condemn on it because nothing comes without efforts !! I suggest people to consider vw polo allstar version feature wise because it offers best armrest which comes in handy and useful unlike of elite i20 as shown in this video. and sporty chrome pedals and rear AC vents. I'm a 5.11.5 ft tall and I should say as I love to ride the car as well as comfortably sit at the backside having snacks cooldrinks and chat.. I've experienced in my car I have best rear space and comfort seating with good leg room and head room my parents just fond of sitting at the back with chill ac they say they don't get tired at all in those long drives. . its good for two passengers and a baby .. I don't know whthr i20 has good space for 3 adults at the rear. polo comes with sporty flat bottom stairing. . I personally feel fiat UNO is most fun car ..polo is a brother like car.. build quality is exceptional and showroom guys said the service is once a year.. I'm happy with my car now... i20 has video compatible AVN which plays video only when hand brake is ON .which is safe while driving.. sometimes I distract only with the 5" touch screen infotainment system of my polo.. so i don't really in need of that i20 AVN .. if at all I want to watch a movie I'll just use a car mobile holder and enjoy! coming to the navigation system again I used a dashboard holder in particular to connect my phone to use Google map services which is far most accurate. engine performance is like........ its a turbo engine !! I can't explain!! put your foot over accelerator pedal you can overtake almost all the cars.. I've hardly seen only bmw or audi benz overtaking me .. high speed stability is superb.. haven't I told about boot space.. yea they are wide and square just as i20.. overall a good package. ....... in the end I felt Hyundai i20 is a better car but vw polo is a best car out there.. just by the way I've put up my words that doesn't mean I'm just inclined towards polo.. hell NO . I suggest people to take a test drive and choose wisely.. note to the reviewer he said Hyundai has fitted drum breaks at the rear. yes because those breaks are sufficient upto 90hp engines.. beyond that disk brakes are used.. and he also pointed rear fog only one in number. . its not the cost cutter instead it is according to the need and better visibility for other car drivers. usually one can observe that single light which glows is exactly at the driver side or in center which gives the clear idea about the car mode (reverse or halt) for other vehicles coming behind especially in ghat sections and raining seasons where both side lights in ON condition makes no sense..
very nice review brother...i booked the car today. the asta (o) red color. thank you so much for the review once again. u had cleared almost all my doubts regarding the petrol varient. nd the reason behind i m.booking the red color, it will look more sporty if u do a black roof.. it looks awesome...😎
Excellent review Gagan. You focused on the things which really matter as an owner from driving, safety and usability point of view. Looking forward to seeing such frank reviews from you.
fantastic video..yes you have definitely given the best review..much better than those you add stupid music and annoying video effects and then go and and speak about the cc mileage tires etc etc which i can easily read at any website like carewale.
hi gagan.i am really confused..i want to go for Baleno but like you there are telling me to wait till 7 months..while i want to buy the car on Nov 26 (my birthday).i checked out the baleno and i loved it and the on road price of the top end model is around 840000..how much did you pay for this car of yours bro?.. and will you tell me to wait for those painful 7 months for baleno or should i go for the i20.which is expensive too i think but don't know the exact price. help me on this one dude i think you completely understand me as you yourself have gone through this.
+androidsavvyy If you are just so keen about average, go with baleno only. Or else i20 can give you figures of 12 kmpl in city and 15 on highway. i20 ast o might cost you 8,60,000 approx.
This is something I really can not demonstrate. It needs some big open space and additional safety. Basically, its when you hit brake and Accelerator both at same time, car only acknowledge brake and ignore Accelerator.
Hi bro, Excellent review. Just want to mention about the automatic climate control. If you keep the temperature in 'Lo', the blower will be at maximum speed, I think it's designed to be like that. When you change the temperature (say 17.5 degrees), the blower speed will decrease as soon as the temperature is reduced in the cabin. Do check it out. Please update your average fuel economy. I'm getting around 13-14 in mixed conditions. Thank you :)
Dear Sir ,i am proud to your fantastic review , even manufacturers understand better for improvement ,Thank you for depth analysis for 28 min review,your decision choosing petrol good ,asta And Asta (0)difference,you explained linear & steady power to analyse better for new buyers , steering and handling comparison is fantastic, explaining nvh level nice,high speed driving experience good,going back disk brake to drum brake is eye opener for buyers,turning indicator problem even not find by Ashish Masih of auto portal,display cannot be used for android is also matters, camera on low light is not explained by Ashish Masih of auto portal, display system not linked its totally mismatch of function it also makes a point,ionize and deodorizer is just a gimmick,auto climate control malfunction also explained
got mine car today its wonderfull it is really not at all underpowered it pulls you back to the seats i got asta optional 1.2 6 airbag varient i have to say this is an awesome car . will upload a walkaround soon😊
Gagan Choudhary and i think that hyundai watches your review . they corrected many of the cons you pointed out like that indicator problem and speedsensing door lock.
Really the best owner review. If we ignore the waiting period in baleno, which one would you go for and why? Should I go for i20? I think new model is coming in Feb 18 Plrase answer. I am planning to buy withing a month
Mr Gagan marvellous job. A natural review without any background music, Splendid. My question is how is elite i20 diesel top variant? Wt is the average? Company say 18 overall. Is it true?
Thanks Gagan. Finally I will get it. Also which is the best of the colours. It should be more sportier. Does Hyundai provides extra body kit. (skirtings etc...)
Bro great Review...i too have my petrol i 20 2015 model...Yes this engine is superb..It is not under power..you must shift perfectly and all...Bro Its Give like 160 km /h with 5 passenger...But yes you will not feel it is running so fast....ABS works perfectly....I drove the car from Kolkata to puri staying in puri just for 2 hours and returning back..Total 1010 km and engine still doesn't heated....Bro I mistake is Auto climate control works perfectly fine...When you start it will start on top then gradually it will fall down..passenger side door can house 1 ltr btl....BUT GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks for your input. I wish it works for me too. But you know how Rajasthan is. Clear sky, bright sun, hot and dry heat. I kept it on auto and got cabin chilled but still fan was on top speed. :D. Then placed a water bottle over the sensor and it came down. :D
I have been driving asto(o) petrol for a month now and i feel the 1.2 l engine is definitely underpowered for its weight.. it may not be noticeable in city driving, but will feel the need for more power on highways, especially if the car is fully loaded with 5 people and you are looking to overtake. You will need to downshift to first/second gear often. After a 200 km long drive (including ~100km on single lane roads) i felt exhausted. I was driving i10 before and never felt it that way. The gear throws are short which is good for city driving. I have driven ~1K kms so far and i am getting around 11-12 in city with AC on and around 15 on the highways, hope it improves after first service. Projectors and LED DRLs work great. Auto headlamps is perfect.. AVN works like a charm and sound quality with 8 speakers/tweeters is great with decent bass. I am a big fan of its exterior/interior looks and its long list of features... dont have any complaints on that front.
A great review bro.. M happy that I got Baleno Zeta Petrol , on the same day of my booking. And yeah , overall, as per your review Baleno is undoubtedly lighter but it's far better in terms of space, mileage , performance , After Sales etc. You should have tried for Baleno at some other Nexa showroom too.
Very nice and detailed review .. thumbs up@@@@ you mentioned about the door locking is not automatic, we have to press the lock button just above the hazard button ... what about the other variants..
Hi Gagan, Thanks a lot for detailed review, Its my 1st car in our family, I watched all your Videos of i20 and decided to go for i20. I purchased Passion red, Petrol i20 Asta(o) with 6 Air bags on 6th OCT 2016 Bangalore, I am really loving it and I am happy with the Hyundai i20 :) Its engine is so smooth, refined and quite, I was unable to recognize car is in ON / Off mode. Ride quality is great and Awesome :) Thanks for your passion and efforts, keep up the good work. Much appreciated, Thanks, Gavi
Hi Gagan.. Its been a month i m following you on you tube and i must tell you that, this review was superb, i am planning to buy Baleno (alpha) petrol, but as you told in this video about the non communication of AVN to MID, weather the same problem exists with baleno also? Please reply soon?
Hey Gagan.. awesome and Unbiased review. I am planning to buy one in coming Oct. but confused in VW Polo petrol top model and Elite I20 Sportz. VW is master in safety bcoz of its sheer build quality and Elite is unbeatable in Looks and Style. Can u please Help?? Did u consider Polo during ur search??
Nice review Gagan..Thx for the same..One more diff u left was the shorter antenna in comparision wid only Asta and others..the bigger antenna just killing the look..Anyway I have bought my Asta O Petrol in Mar and till its 2500kms..& the reason behind to go for the same as the same u mentioned i.e Boleno is holding a 6 months waiting period in Hyd to deliver and i was in need before summer..so go ahead for the 2nd best one :) Well All things holds good as u explain..but never tried on the safety features over theft of this vehicle where i assume if you might have tried. 1> If the driver forget to lock the vehicle by the auto- Key & go away by taking the key with him , then ll it lock after sometime by its own or not ( In such cases I know if somebody ll get into this vehicle and try to start then display ll show that Key is not in the vehicle, but i want to try the autolock system i.e if the key is away from the car, the ll it lock it up automatically after sometime !!) 2> Also if u could check , after the locking the vehicle also if u only open the boot by standing nearby, it ll open, as i believe the lock sensor detects the key staying near by and that why its behaving in that way..let me know ur opinion how its working in ur vehicle..Is that standard way it should be or anything else !! Also let me know how frequent we should check the air pressure of the vehicle..as i see in the driver door panel (near to the right side of seat ) where the pressure measurement guidelines is showing clearly...and in that if u see in one rear tyre its showing to have less pressure compare to the other three tyres..not sure why and how doest it impact the vehicle performance etc.....Let me know do u have any idea on the same.. Do Put ur views on the above... Br
Let me answer one by one. In safety, I have tried ABS. It works perfectly in all the conditions. Engine do not start if you do not have key inside but car never get locked automatically.
Yes, Tail gate will only open if car is locked and key is withing 1 meter range of tail gate. Else not. The third buttom on smart key is useful if you want someone else to access boot but do not want to give key.
In tire pressure case, You did same mistake which i did at first site. Read that sticker again and you will find that its pressure recommendation of two situations. The one low is about both rear tires not one. Front tire pressure will always be same and rear will vary as per luggage and passenger load.
Heii bro there is connection between the speedometer n avm since u cannot pair a phone while the car is moving😂 N one more When u turn on the automatic AC U must adjust the temperature to at leat 17.5 oC . Then u can see the it will work fine. The fan speed will reduce when reaching the desired temperature 👍 Thankz fr ur review👌👌
Gagan Choudhary from the same speedometer it can function the speed depended volume. And also i jave choosen i20 sports and it doesn't have a gps but these functions work fine
yah no gps, but these function that is cannot pair a phone while the car is moving, speed depended volume both works fine.... then u will say in sports there is a connection for avm n speedometer but in asta o doesnt ... hahahah definitely we can say there is a connection. and if u want any more confirmation just try by rotating ur tyre without moving ur car that time the speedometer using the gps will be in 0 and try to pair a phone. @
nice review gagan...keep going ... confused between baleno zeta vs i20 sportz. .petrol ? which is better.? baleno I heard faulty suspension on rear seat. it lacks comfort and under thigh support .and absorb bumps and pothholes easily. ?is it true. ?awaiting for the test drive. I 20 is ok with style comfort everything but cost wise and fuel efficiency and resale value.is bit concerned. . plz advice. . thanks in advance....
Yes i20 is more comfortable with rear seats. Frankly speaking, I have not heard any Baleno Petrol user complaining about suspensions. Heard from many of diesel guys. Better take test drive. Take a known with you and ask him to sit on back seat along with the sales man. Then take into potholes and you will know it properly. When I took test drive I was alone. Even the sales guy was not there other wise I would have noted. And Zeta is better in features as compared with Sportz.
nice review gagan... got all details which were in my mind. thanks a lot & now only confusion is the color of the car. my parents wants me to take red color but i personally like stardust color(grey). how to convince them as red has become common. any advantage of taking stardust color?
Well red is really a good looking color in i20 and I am surprised that your parents like it. Because its only the parent age people who do not like that. Go with red, no need to convince them. There is no advantage or disadvantage. Only advantage I feel in start dust that you can put seats covers of any color. But I think with red you may need to match colors first if they suits in and out.
okay thanx.... and one more thing i want to know is that the maintenance cost of elite i20 which some said it hits your pocket so much some even sold their car im not sure about it but i have heard about it. is it true?
This review carries insights to which we don't get a sight in other reviews. Well done. Completely agree that Baleno should be the first choice but it really is ugly.
Dear gagan I feel your review videos are really good. Iam anand from Hyderabad. I have owned five different marutis until now. Currently I own Ritz petrol automatic. I really am having fun with automatics. I feel it's enough with marutis. After watching your videos Ian thinking why not Hyundai. Please give me from your heart should I go for new i20 CVT which will be coming soon??
Yo,First of all you have done a awesome job dude,i am getting the delivery of my Asta 1.2 on 19th july,the dealer is providing me underbody for 6k,do you really think,do i need to get underbody coating done for the new car or i should do it before next rainy season
Hey Gagan, you have done a wonderful review of the car. Thanks very much. The truth of the matter is i don't own a i20 but a grand i10 and the problems which you face with the turn indicators is the same with Grand I10 as well!!! and as i don't have a avn i do feel for the weirdness of it all. The boot space is also very big in grandi10, no way similar to yours but big enough and thats what led to me to by that car. Also i completely agree about the gradual pick up you have talked about, it's very very true indeed and the almost "pin drop" silence of the motor. The other beautiful thing about the car is the steering wheel. My father, who was a maruti loyalist for a very long time, hahaha, even he believes the hyundai is a much better car..mainly the steering. He describes the whole steering wheel movement as "butter" or " makkhan"...and it's very easy to turn the car!! the other advantage the hyundai cars have over other cars is the way they can absorb the bumps on the road!! My goodness, it's just mind blowing to me, i'am sure others have different experiences but for me it's really amazing!!! and me being from Bengal, it's a added bonus. The only negative thing which i really don't like in cars, generally, is the way you cannot see where the front bonnet ends!!...and as this car of mine is a sportz variant, no height adjust!!! so for me and even my father the tapering down of the bonnet makes life difficult while parking the car and on traffic stops, even though we have got used to it a lot now but still the fact that of breadth and length in tight parking spaces, causes a lot of issues! I talked to the engineers about how the seats are a bit low and they agreed that the hyundai car seats are a bit low compared to other cars!! and i also asked if i could change the driver seat to a height adjustable seat and they said the company doesnt allow that!!...even though having a height of 5'6 is not that bad!! by Indian standards but even so i would love to see where the bonnet ends at times!!.... Ohh and one more thing, i would like to ask you Gagan and that is the fuel capacity....when you go to the petrol pump how much does the car actually take in? i ask because even though my car has a total tank capacity of 44 liters, it seems the petrol pump wala pumped in 53 liters!!! i think we were cheated so just wanted to varify!...but prior to that we got a city mileage of 12 to 14 and highway mileage of 21.5 ....with ac on and off!
Thanks a lot for watching the video so carefully and for your kind words. Yes, Seat Height is low if you do not have adjustment. Also the tank capacity is more than 44 for sure. My i20 takes 50 liters at times if I fill till neck.
Gagan Bhai, Thank you so much for valuable content. Kya ek video "car door setting" (loose doors that make noise, and how it is fixed) pe ho sakta hai? And also just out of curiosity...Why you don't speak much about cars from Skoda?
the review is awesome and complete , I also own i20 elite petrol for last 1yr and thinks the exact same like you. One good thing to add is sound system is very good and refined. One negative thing is its clutch is slightly tight.
Hyundai has updated the Asta O variant. The new one is 40,000 INR costly but comes with 6 Airbag, Speed sensing door lock, and Height Adjustable Seatbelt. Looks like value for money still.
nice review gagan
i am planing to buy a car but got confused between Baleno,Elite i20 and i20 active.
people have complained abt the suspension of baleno and discomfort on rare seats and weak body,so i thought of giving up on baleno
could u tell me how is the suspension of elite and can it run nicely on rough and rugged roads,on hills,can i plan out for a long journey once in a month in elite with my family
i dont want to waste money on i20 active just for sporty look and ground clearance
*i will opt for petrol version*
and what is the mileage after first service
thanks
rohan verma Baleno will give you mileage but no good comfort. i20 will not give you mileage but all other things are present. Don't worry much about suspension. It might feel bad in very bad roads and on some big speed breakers but one can live with it.
Gagan Choudhary new I 20 asta (o) is costed me around 8,41,800 6 airbags mileage is around 16 in city
Who said mileage is 16? And 8,41,800 is good quote. Which city?
New Delhi Samara Hyundai janakpuri
people who say its underpowered do not understand the difference between liner power delivery and sudden power delivery, the sudden power delivery gives you an illusion that it is very powerful, but linear gives a balanced delivery
Correct.
Aneesh B yup truly revv it and see the results👌
Think it like this - elite i20 is like Rolls Royce which has 650 bhp but Lamborghini huracan also has 620 bhp but both cars are very different right?
Aneesh B Yeah...I have a Baleno and it has quicker power delivery! I20 has a linear power delivery.
May be, I have driven i20 petrol I feel 2nd gear as a dead gear and below 2000 rpm power is very less though this power is ok for regular commuter I do feel this is the cause for low fuel efficiency and when comes to the point linear power delivery this can be managed in normal driving roads but when comes to hill area and fly over climbings driving during heavy traffic with such engine makes us go weird..

Awesome job Gagan. This was a detailed and unbiased review what most people out there are really looking for. I liked it that you also brought up the negative points of this car. So if someone buys it due to your review, he will thank you. And if someone changes mind due to the negative points you brought forward, he would really thank you because I think no sales person would ever highlight that. Liked it. Thanks
Thanks for your kind words.
sir ,your videos are so useful

Superb review Gagan...one thing I want to highlight... even in Asta model CD player is not available now ( in none of the model its available.
Thanks mate. Thats something I was not aware of.
and there is just 1 12v charging socket in asta variant and sportz as well none of these gets 2 12 v charging socket
+rob aggarwal looks like 2016 model has got these changes.
Very useful review, different from typical reviews which are posted by Auto Portals... information which you have shared.. even Hyundai sales person was not having so much of information....Highly appreciate your gesture in handling all the queries of viewers... Thumps up for u....
Made my day. :) :)

There has been a stomp load of improvement in your channel. Kudos! All the best.
Thanks a lot buddy.
No Android Auto??? But I think Hyundai Site mentioned that Asta and Asta(o) has Android Auto and Mirrorlink right????
In updated feb 2017 it has.
and tell me is it right time to buy i20 now ?
Thank you for your nook and cranny analysis ,I decided finally to buy Baleno petrol alpha ,I have several confusion while buying a car , i20 elite was also in my list, after your review I dropped going for this car.
:)

Thanks for your words.
iam going to buy i20
I liked the video.. your pretty much open in discussing it's limitation even though u own it... it's much informational....
Glad you liked.
Start giving your reviews in Hindi, you might get more views
Noted.
On the contrary, not every Indian speaks speaks or understands Hindi, so keeping it in english would cater to a broader audience.
Make same video in both language

Hey buddy post more videos on other cars too, u have a good future as an auto journalist.Its bcoz u talk a lot in practical sense like the problems that we face in this car and its solutions.Yes u were right about the indicators,most of the time i turn off the indicators manually. Excellent Review!!!!
Very very kind of you brother. I am already getting similar advice from friend circle too. Looks like I need to think about this. :)
wear seat belt
Best ownership review. Helped me lot. I was bit concerned with fuel efficiency but you cleared my doubt. Thanks bro!
Thanks mate.
intailly i was also little concerned about mileage bt im getting 14+ with ac on all time(70% on highways nd 30% in city).....so with turning off ac i will get 16........i checked twice nd i got 14.3 nd 14.5 ....
thanks sir! for sharing you experience. I already booked elite i20 :)
Bruh!!
My Hyundai Elite i20 Asta 1.2 has a higher body roll while cornering in a speed of 60-70!! And even headlights are very weak!! Fees that its a torch attached to car when we are driving in highway!!
Body roll is something I have never experienced. And headlights are a bit weak but projectors are good headlamps. Adjust height properly and use fog lamps too if you want more. But please keep on low beam always on roads with no dividers.
Even with for lamps!! Low beam is okay!! High beam is not good!! Also adjusted the its height!
Karthikeya Bhat If you have the model with projector headlights, install HID lights.
No Prashanth Sir, it's doesn't have projector!!
Then upgrade to Osram or Philips bulbs sir. I am getting the Asta O model soon and would be upgrading to HID since it would come with projector. HID's are the only thing missing in i20 compared to Baleno.
Thanks man. Great video. All these so called professional reviewers haven't covered all the things that you have covered over here.
because of this review ..i just bought the same car(ASTA)
..doin grt job bro..keep it up
Thanks a lot mate. Drive safe and take care of car.
good video gagan, waiting for 2018 i20.
Good review Gagan, very insightful.
Thanks.
Great level of detailing. I own elite i20 since last one year and through this video I have been able to know some hidden facts such as climate control sensor placement impact.
Thanks mate.
I feel we are connected on Facebook? Guy from PhoneBunch?
I am afraid we are not connected on any public platform.
Okay. :)
I'm using i20 elite since 2 years now.
I have many things in my notice! But nice job making this video
Thanks.
Very good review in layman's terms, appreciate it 👍
Thanks mate.
Really Intelligent way you have observed and you have covered the details. thank you very much for your passion and patience. :) :)
Thanks a lot.
maza aagaya sir ,bohot badhiya video.. :)
Why haven't considered swift while buying? Just curious
Very good video!! I liked your detailed explanation!
nice detailed review.. your efforts are truly amazing trying to explain almost all the doubts covered in a single video. I kept comparing Volkswagen polo allstar 1.5 TDI with elite i20 1.4 CRDI asta optional for over a period of 5 months.considering after sale services and maintenance , mileage,features, build in quality,well engineered engine, more likely a car that understands you.usually I don't sit and type long comments but after I saw your effort and thought there are people out there searching for the answers for the chaos to choose between the present hot hatchbacks competition.I have to tell that I've driven almost all the cars starting from premier padmini, 118, fiat UNO(which i owned for about 5 years) lancer, ambassador, maruti 800, maruti omni, 407 engine befitted in a jeep! even a police gipsy! and all recent cars and tractors like mahindra, john deer.. I can't remember all the names but yea list goes on including Benz, bmw and Audi for viewers info I'm not a pro driver.. it's just a crazy thing that i do.. talking about the hatchbacks I didn't chose maruti since they are everywhere.. I always find unique vehicles. I've bought a new polo allstar 1.5 TDI over the elite i20 1.4 CRDI asta(O) with 6 airbags. I don't say dimensions and all ...polo doesn't come with DRL's and reverse parking camera and infotainment system as both audio- video type. as people know Hyundai is good for its features I don't condemn on it because nothing comes without efforts !! I suggest people to consider vw polo allstar version feature wise because it offers best armrest which comes in handy and useful unlike of elite i20 as shown in this video. and sporty chrome pedals and rear AC vents. I'm a 5.11.5 ft tall and I should say as I love to ride the car as well as comfortably sit at the backside having snacks cooldrinks and chat.. I've experienced in my car I have best rear space and comfort seating with good leg room and head room my parents just fond of sitting at the back with chill ac they say they don't get tired at all in those long drives. . its good for two passengers and a baby .. I don't know whthr i20 has good space for 3 adults at the rear. polo comes with sporty flat bottom stairing. . I personally feel fiat UNO is most fun car ..polo is a brother like car.. build quality is exceptional and showroom guys said the service is once a year.. I'm happy with my car now...
i20 has video compatible AVN which plays video only when hand brake is ON .which is safe while driving.. sometimes I distract only with the 5" touch screen infotainment system of my polo.. so i don't really in need of that i20 AVN .. if at all I want to watch a movie I'll just use a car mobile holder and enjoy! coming to the navigation system again I used a dashboard holder in particular to connect my phone to use Google map services which is far most accurate. engine performance is like........ its a turbo engine !! I can't explain!! put your foot over accelerator pedal you can overtake almost all the cars.. I've hardly seen only bmw or audi benz overtaking me .. high speed stability is superb.. haven't I told about boot space.. yea they are wide and square just as i20.. overall a good package. ....... in the end I felt Hyundai i20 is a better car but vw polo is a best car out there.. just by the way I've put up my words that doesn't mean I'm just inclined towards polo.. hell NO . I suggest people to take a test drive and choose wisely.. note to the reviewer he said Hyundai has fitted drum breaks at the rear. yes because those breaks are sufficient upto 90hp engines.. beyond that disk brakes are used.. and he also pointed rear fog only one in number. . its not the cost cutter instead it is according to the need and better visibility for other car drivers. usually one can observe that single light which glows is exactly at the driver side or in center which gives the clear idea about the car mode (reverse or halt) for other vehicles coming behind especially in ghat sections and raining seasons where both side lights in ON condition makes no sense..
Ohh I believe I never got such big comment. :) Anyway read it and found really informative.
Ur reviews are very helpful. Par ur Hindi achhi lagthi Hai..👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
congratulations for 200k
very nice review brother...i booked the car today. the asta (o) red color. thank you so much for the review once again. u had cleared almost all my doubts regarding the petrol varient.
nd the reason behind i m.booking the red color, it will look more sporty if u do a black roof..
it looks awesome...😎
Yes, I have seen a shiny red car with black roof from a distance and it was eye catchy. Good luck.
Excellent review Gagan. You focused on the things which really matter as an owner from driving, safety and usability point of view. Looking forward to seeing such frank reviews from you.
Thanks sir.
Simple and logical review... good job
Thanks.
fantastic video..yes you have definitely given the best review..much better than those you add stupid music and annoying video effects and then go and and speak about the cc mileage tires etc etc which i can easily read at any website like carewale.
Thanks a lot mate.
hi gagan.i am really confused..i want to go for Baleno but like you there are telling me to wait till 7 months..while i want to buy the car on Nov 26 (my birthday).i checked out the baleno and i loved it and the on road price of the top end model is around 840000..how much did you pay for this car of yours bro?..
and will you tell me to wait for those painful 7 months for baleno or should i go for the i20.which is expensive too i think but don't know the exact price.
help me on this one dude i think you completely understand me as you yourself have gone through this.
+androidsavvyy If you are just so keen about average, go with baleno only. Or else i20 can give you figures of 12 kmpl in city and 15 on highway. i20 ast o might cost you 8,60,000 approx.
9.61 lakhs asta o in karnataka
Muscle World konsi car li apne fir i20 ya baleno
Good one really appraciate for your Review.....by the way i am going for Baleno in near future.
Thanks.
I like it when he suggested other youtubers
Best review.... watched all your videos related to Elite i20... Request you to explain how Smart Pedal works in Elite i20 Asta (o)
This is something I really can not demonstrate. It needs some big open space and additional safety. Basically, its when you hit brake and Accelerator both at same time, car only acknowledge brake and ignore Accelerator.
Thanks for the reply. Will it be same for Hand break + Accelerator?
No, Foot break.
Thanks Bro
Hi bro,
Excellent review. Just want to mention about the automatic climate control. If you keep the temperature in 'Lo', the blower will be at maximum speed, I think it's designed to be like that. When you change the temperature (say 17.5 degrees), the blower speed will decrease as soon as the temperature is reduced in the cabin. Do check it out.
Please update your average fuel economy. I'm getting around 13-14 in mixed conditions. Thank you :)
Thanks for inputs. Yes it happens that way but it should actually not happen that way. :) And yaa same FE.
awesome review man. i have booked tiago petrol but i20 elite is awesome car.
Thanks and Drive safe.
VERY VERY FRANK, EXCELLENT AND REALISTIC EVALUATION OF CAR. FROM VSRM KASYAPA, HYDERABAD.
Thanks.
Dear Sir ,i am proud to your fantastic review , even manufacturers understand better for improvement ,Thank you for depth analysis for 28 min review,your decision choosing petrol good ,asta And Asta (0)difference,you explained linear & steady power to analyse better for new buyers , steering and handling comparison is fantastic, explaining nvh level nice,high speed driving experience good,going back disk brake to drum brake is eye opener for buyers,turning indicator problem even not find by Ashish Masih of auto portal,display cannot be used for android is also matters, camera on low light is not explained by Ashish Masih of auto portal, display system not linked its totally mismatch of function it also makes a point,ionize and deodorizer is just a gimmick,auto climate control malfunction also explained
Thanks a lot for your kind words Nagendra, I love when someone finds the work good and watch it so carefully.
got mine car today its wonderfull it is really not at all underpowered it pulls you back to the seats i got asta optional 1.2 6 airbag varient i have to say this is an awesome car . will upload a walkaround soon😊
Yoo. Post a link as soon as you upload it.
Gagan Choudhary and i think that hyundai watches your review . they corrected many of the cons you pointed out like that indicator problem and speedsensing door lock.
Good review gagan, booked Asta (o) Star dust...waiting to take delivery..
Good luck brother.
Really the best owner review.
If we ignore the waiting period in baleno, which one would you go for and why?
Should I go for i20? I think new model is coming in Feb 18
Plrase answer. I am planning to buy withing a month
Your review is nice & demonstrating is also good too
thanks for sharing such a nice video
Welcome.
Mr Gagan marvellous job. A natural review without any background music, Splendid. My question is how is elite i20 diesel top variant? Wt is the average? Company say 18 overall. Is it true?
Thanks mate. Means a lot. Diesel variant will return 14-15 in city and 19-20 on highway with speeds below 100 Kmph.
Thanks Gagan. Finally I will get it. Also which is the best of the colours. It should be more sportier. Does Hyundai provides extra body kit. (skirtings etc...)
very very honest review....cheers man !!!!!!!!
Thanks Amit.
Awesome video...
very informative n detailed review.
keep it up... :)
Thanks,
Bro great Review...i too have my petrol i 20 2015 model...Yes this engine is superb..It is not under power..you must shift perfectly and all...Bro Its Give like 160 km /h with 5 passenger...But yes you will not feel it is running so fast....ABS works perfectly....I drove the car from Kolkata to puri staying in puri just for 2 hours and returning back..Total 1010 km and engine still doesn't heated....Bro I mistake is Auto climate control works perfectly fine...When you start it will start on top then gradually it will fall down..passenger side door can house 1 ltr btl....BUT GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks for your input. I wish it works for me too. But you know how Rajasthan is. Clear sky, bright sun, hot and dry heat. I kept it on auto and got cabin chilled but still fan was on top speed. :D. Then placed a water bottle over the sensor and it came down. :D
Hey why don't we discuss and open a auto portal website and start a new business?If interested please add me in skype pixer.web
As i feel you have the potentiality and we can take this further..
Grate and detail review, Thanks Man.
Hi Gagan.. Excellent video.. One question--which halogen bulb type (H4 or H7 or HB3/9005 etc) is installed on your projector headlamps?
I have been driving asto(o) petrol for a month now and i feel the 1.2 l engine is definitely underpowered for its weight.. it may not be noticeable in city driving, but will feel the need for more power on highways, especially if the car is fully loaded with 5 people and you are looking to overtake. You will need to downshift to first/second gear often. After a 200 km long drive (including ~100km on single lane roads) i felt exhausted. I was driving i10 before and never felt it that way. The gear throws are short which is good for city driving. I have driven ~1K kms so far and i am getting around 11-12 in city with AC on and around 15 on the highways, hope it improves after first service. Projectors and LED DRLs work great. Auto headlamps is perfect.. AVN works like a charm and sound quality with 8 speakers/tweeters is great with decent bass. I am a big fan of its exterior/interior looks and its long list of features... dont have any complaints on that front.
Yes I have mentioned that at 06:31 in video. Not in first second gear but I feel need of keeping it above 1900-2000 RPM before I start take off.
Bhai saab you change a lot from this video to the latest one 😉😁😬
A great review bro..
M happy that I got Baleno Zeta Petrol , on the same day of my booking.
And yeah , overall, as per your review Baleno is undoubtedly lighter but it's far better in terms of space, mileage , performance , After Sales etc.
You should have tried for Baleno at some other Nexa showroom too.
When I was ready for car Baleno had 8 months waiting period.
Very nice and detailed review .. thumbs up@@@@
you mentioned about the door locking is not automatic, we have to press the lock button just above the hazard button ... what about the other variants..
In all varients its same.
hi gagan..excellent review.. very practical one.. just curious to know why u didnt have polo also as an option with baleno and jazz?
I personally drive car in area which has no support for VW even in 300 km radius. So it was not an option for me.
Hi Gagan,
Thanks a lot for detailed review, Its my 1st car in our family, I watched all your Videos of i20 and decided to go for i20.
I purchased Passion red, Petrol i20 Asta(o) with 6 Air bags on 6th OCT 2016 Bangalore,
I am really loving it and I am happy with the Hyundai i20 :)
Its engine is so smooth, refined and quite, I was unable to recognize car is in ON / Off mode.
Ride quality is great and Awesome :) Thanks for your passion and efforts, keep up the good work.
Much appreciated,
Thanks,
Gavi
That made my day. Thanks a ton.
This is what i was waiting for.
Dyrinos what happened bro?
Notting but y r u buyin I twanti
Dis gai. Wo is reviewing is bias.
he give fak news about car.i want clarify ones thing.he is tellig lying bout pitrol veriant
+Dyrinos u raite wary biutefoool.
Hi Gagan..
Its been a month i m following you on you tube and i must tell you that, this review was superb, i am planning to buy Baleno (alpha) petrol, but as you told in this video about the non communication of AVN to MID, weather the same problem exists with baleno also?
Please reply soon?
hey gagan nice review! having the question of going for baleno or i20 elite! is asta different compared i20 elite sportz?
You can see the differences on website. There are a lot of them. Baleno only if you want a more responsive engine and better mileage.
great efforts boss, loved it...
Thanks sir.
Excellent coverage of i20.
Thanks Sir.
Hey Gagan.. awesome and Unbiased review. I am planning to buy one in coming Oct. but confused in VW Polo petrol top model and Elite I20 Sportz. VW is master in safety bcoz of its sheer build quality and Elite is unbeatable in Looks and Style. Can u please Help?? Did u consider Polo during ur search??
I did not. Due to the poor VW support and it's expensive care. I though like it as a car.
Good review. I too planning to buy petrol Asta option.
Go ahead.
Nice review Gagan..Thx for the same..One more diff u left was the shorter antenna in comparision wid only Asta and others..the bigger antenna just killing the look..Anyway I have bought my Asta O Petrol in Mar and till its 2500kms..& the reason behind to go for the same as the same u mentioned i.e Boleno is holding a 6 months waiting period in Hyd to deliver and i was in need before summer..so go ahead for the 2nd best one :) Well All things holds good as u explain..but never tried on the safety features over theft of this vehicle where i assume if you might have tried.
1> If the driver forget to lock the vehicle by the auto- Key & go away by taking the key with him , then ll it lock after sometime by its own or not ( In such cases I know if somebody ll get into this vehicle and try to start then display ll show that Key is not in the vehicle, but i want to try the autolock system i.e if the key is away from the car, the ll it lock it up automatically after sometime !!)
2> Also if u could check , after the locking the vehicle also if u only open the boot by standing nearby, it ll open, as i believe the lock sensor detects the key staying near by and that why its behaving in that way..let me know ur opinion how its working in ur vehicle..Is that standard way it should be or anything else !!
Also let me know how frequent we should check the air pressure of the vehicle..as i see in the driver door panel (near to the right side of seat ) where the pressure measurement guidelines is showing clearly...and in that if u see in one rear tyre its showing to have less pressure compare to the other three tyres..not sure why and how doest it impact the vehicle performance etc.....Let me know do u have any idea on the same..
Do Put ur views on the above...
Br
Let me answer one by one. In safety, I have tried ABS. It works perfectly in all the conditions. Engine do not start if you do not have key inside but car never get locked automatically.
Yes, Tail gate will only open if car is locked and key is withing 1 meter range of tail gate. Else not. The third buttom on smart key is useful if you want someone else to access boot but do not want to give key.
In tire pressure case, You did same mistake which i did at first site. Read that sticker again and you will find that its pressure recommendation of two situations. The one low is about both rear tires not one. Front tire pressure will always be same and rear will vary as per luggage and passenger load.
Heii bro there is connection between the speedometer n avm since u cannot pair a phone while the car is moving😂
N one more
When u turn on the automatic AC
U must adjust the temperature to at leat 17.5 oC . Then u can see the it will work fine. The fan speed will reduce when reaching the desired temperature 👍
Thankz fr ur review👌👌
+muhammed mufassil The AVN has its own speedometer based on GPS. And the A/C problem is specific to my car buddy. Found that last month.
Gagan Choudhary from the same speedometer it can function the speed depended volume.
And also i jave choosen i20 sports and it doesn't have a gps but these functions work fine
+muhammed mufassil In sports its not gps based dear.
yah no gps, but these function that is cannot pair a phone while the car is moving, speed depended volume both works fine....
then u will say in sports there is a connection for avm n speedometer but in asta o doesnt ... hahahah
definitely we can say there is a connection. and if u want any more confirmation just try by rotating ur tyre without moving ur car that time the speedometer using the gps will be in 0 and try to pair a phone. @
Haha That is so much of hard work. :p
a very unique review. I liked it.
Shukriya Bhaijaan.
nice review gagan...keep going ...
confused between baleno zeta vs i20 sportz. .petrol ? which is better.? baleno I heard faulty suspension on rear seat. it lacks comfort and under thigh support .and absorb bumps and pothholes easily. ?is it true. ?awaiting for the test drive.
I 20 is ok with style comfort everything but cost wise and fuel efficiency and resale value.is bit concerned. .
plz advice. .
thanks in advance....
Yes i20 is more comfortable with rear seats. Frankly speaking, I have not heard any Baleno Petrol user complaining about suspensions. Heard from many of diesel guys. Better take test drive. Take a known with you and ask him to sit on back seat along with the sales man. Then take into potholes and you will know it properly. When I took test drive I was alone. Even the sales guy was not there other wise I would have noted. And Zeta is better in features as compared with Sportz.
nice review gagan... got all details which were in my mind. thanks a lot & now only confusion is the color of the car. my parents wants me to take red color but i personally like stardust color(grey). how to convince them as red has become common. any advantage of taking stardust color?
Well red is really a good looking color in i20 and I am surprised that your parents like it. Because its only the parent age people who do not like that. Go with red, no need to convince them. There is no advantage or disadvantage. Only advantage I feel in start dust that you can put seats covers of any color. But I think with red you may need to match colors first if they suits in and out.
okay thanx.... and one more thing i want to know is that the maintenance cost of elite i20 which some said it hits your pocket so much some even sold their car im not sure about it but i have heard about it. is it true?
booked elite asta optional today..
going to get delivery in next week..
exited.
Yoo.
This review carries insights to which we don't get a sight in other reviews. Well done. Completely agree that Baleno should be the first choice but it really is ugly.
Thanks a lot buddy.
Dear gagan I feel your review videos are really good. Iam anand from Hyderabad. I have owned five different marutis until now. Currently I own Ritz petrol automatic. I really am having fun with automatics. I feel it's enough with marutis. After watching your videos Ian thinking why not Hyundai. Please give me from your heart should I go for new i20 CVT which will be coming soon??
Unless there is a bump in power, avoid i20 Automatic
Yo,First of all you have done a awesome job dude,i am getting the delivery of my Asta 1.2 on 19th july,the dealer is providing me underbody for 6k,do you really think,do i need to get underbody coating done for the new car or i should do it before next rainy season
Yes get it done if you have lots of muddy roads around. Else leave it. I have muddy roads and potholes so I will do it in few days.
will be glad if you review BALENO. This was very keen observation thing which I like.
I am finding someone who can lend Baleno for few hours.
Hey Gagan, you have done a wonderful review of the car. Thanks very much. The truth of the matter is i don't own a i20 but a grand i10 and the problems which you face with the turn indicators is the same with Grand I10 as well!!! and as i don't have a avn i do feel for the weirdness of it all. The boot space is also very big in grandi10, no way similar to yours but big enough and thats what led to me to by that car. Also i completely agree about the gradual pick up you have talked about, it's very very true indeed and the almost "pin drop" silence of the motor. The other beautiful thing about the car is the steering wheel. My father, who was a maruti loyalist for a very long time, hahaha, even he believes the hyundai is a much better car..mainly the steering. He describes the whole steering wheel movement as "butter" or " makkhan"...and it's very easy to turn the car!! the other advantage the hyundai cars have over other cars is the way they can absorb the bumps on the road!! My goodness, it's just mind blowing to me, i'am sure others have different experiences but for me it's really amazing!!! and me being from Bengal, it's a added bonus.
The only negative thing which i really don't like in cars, generally, is the way you cannot see where the front bonnet ends!!...and as this car of mine is a sportz variant, no height adjust!!! so for me and even my father the tapering down of the bonnet makes life difficult while parking the car and on traffic stops, even though we have got used to it a lot now but still the fact that of breadth and length in tight parking spaces, causes a lot of issues! I talked to the engineers about how the seats are a bit low and they agreed that the hyundai car seats are a bit low compared to other cars!! and i also asked if i could change the driver seat to a height adjustable seat and they said the company doesnt allow that!!...even though having a height of 5'6 is not that bad!! by Indian standards but even so i would love to see where the bonnet ends at times!!....
Ohh and one more thing, i would like to ask you Gagan and that is the fuel capacity....when you go to the petrol pump how much does the car actually take in? i ask because even though my car has a total tank capacity of 44 liters, it seems the petrol pump wala pumped in 53 liters!!! i think we were cheated so just wanted to varify!...but prior to that we got a city mileage of 12 to 14 and highway mileage of 21.5 ....with ac on and off!
Thanks a lot for watching the video so carefully and for your kind words. Yes, Seat Height is low if you do not have adjustment. Also the tank capacity is more than 44 for sure. My i20 takes 50 liters at times if I fill till neck.
Gagan bro you came a long way☺
tell me the functions of elite i 20 drive in rain ..front glass not clean easily with vipers.
It cleans.
Gagan Bhai,
Thank you so much for valuable content.
Kya ek video "car door setting" (loose doors that make noise, and how it is fixed) pe ho sakta hai?
And also just out of curiosity...Why you don't speak much about cars from Skoda?
great review... i m concerned particularly with steering issue .. u solved my doubts .. also cars are for commuting not for racing
well reviewed ..
Glad you like it.
the review is awesome and complete , I also own i20 elite petrol for last 1yr and thinks the exact same like you. One good thing to add is sound system is very good and refined. One negative thing is its clutch is slightly tight.
Tight? I thought its light. :p
