#NotificationSquad, do you like the new i20, or do you think there should have been more to it? Let us know below.
looks same.
PowerDrift baleno would be the best option there?
All these things are more or less the same except in some minor changes like the tail lamps and the touch screen and may be the air curtains.But we have to think before buying it as like i said there are competitors like swift and even the nexon costs u less offering better features than this car does.I think if u have money go for it.
Front grill looks cool, changed the fog lamps shape, alloys looks fantastic. They changed the reverse cam to dash from the rearview mirror. Does this new version still have the auto adjusting rearview mirror according to the beam or the normal one like we have in i10 and all!! And Finally we have Distance to Empty. Its a good thing they did. I really hope this would come in i10 as well, because during long drives and when the fuel gauge shows symbol, its a scary thing whether we would reach the nearest petrol station or we have to push the car to the station. Now we do get a calculation of reaching the nearest petrol station. Is there any way i could upgrade or reprogram so that i will be able to have DTE in my i10 Grand!!!
PowerDrift the infotainment system needs to be directed towards the driver like the verna. I personally love the DSG gear box on my ameo tdi, I'm not sure what can match up to that standards for a car below 10 laks
Hyundai i20 in my opinion is the most complete family hatchback sold in India, i test drove the latest face lift and it's really nice to drive around. Everything feels high quality and the refinement levels are awesome. The build quality also is no less than european cars. I mean it offers everything, looks, comfort, good drivability, great service backup, most importantly safety. The flimsy Maruti Suzuki's do not even come close to it.
Also I mean no offense to any enthusiast, i myself am an driving enthusiast. I find people being so critical about handling which is not bad at all, let's admit it, a regular family hatch user does not drive on a race tracks everyday, there purpose built hatchbacks for that purpose. All in all a great product from Hyundai.
Lol still not better than my Lancer and Punto
Probably the first guy to complain about engine noise in Elite i20. Driving one since 2014, and the NVH levels are excellent even today. Absolutely no engine noise inside the cabin. Asta 1.4
Am not a corner craver and i don't need a stiff suspension since am not gonna drive in autobahn. All i need is reliable,stylish and safe car to pamper around. The elite i20 ticks all the right boxes. A package hard to complain !! It's a HEAD TURNER ❤🚘❤
Arun Ragupathi u r right abt the rest....but a headturner???😕😕
vk vlogs Definitely bro. It was launched in 2014. Still looks fresh and gains public interest. I know people who bought this car purely for it's looks and reliability. But at the end "beauty lies in the eye of the beholder "
Agree but your comment is valid only till the time you drive Polo GT TSI , after that your will prefer to delete it ;)
Arun Ragupathi I hope you have driven polo Gt not the regular polo because both are completely different cars, also after sales have come down drastically & reliability is far more .. I was once about to finalise on punto but those rubbery gear box which refuses to slot sometime , too long clutch travel , awkward riding positions steals away the driving please punto has to offer .. i mean in city it will be pain.
I was not a fan Hyundai cars earlier I have driven 1st gen i20 and it’s steering was so vague that nothing can match it’s vagueness .. well don’t know about the current generation . But over all i20 is a killer package.
Mayank Shukla Still elite i20 is vague bro.It has good chassis setup but the steering is confusing. I don't own the elite i20 but my friend has. But trust me I've driven more than 15k kms in his car😁😁 I agree all of ur observations on punto. But the hydraulic steering unit is a pure bliss. It's perfectly calibrated. U know it's a point and shoot car. But we can't get everything in a car right. Comfort comes at a cost of driving pleasure. Moreover VW polo is a classic European. Still it looks beautiful in the stock form❤
6:50 *Old Elite at the back*
_Was that a coincidence or planned before_ 🤔
Nice catch ;)
It’s the same colour too. 🤣🤣🤣
Old one was better in my opinion in terms of looks, ruined the rear totally. Reminds of B class tail lights a bit.
It's high time govt gotta drop that sub 4 metre bullshit which have been putting designers to compromise on stuffs.
Sandeep Rajan Agreed
Yeah thetail lights looked european, now looks like cheap korean copy
But my vote for ugliest Hyundai goes to the Hyundai Xcent facelift, that looks pukishly crap
DrTJ Techie look for my comment on it on PD video :P
DrTJ Techie yes indeed. Hyundai xcent exuded exuberance. Now it's just garbage
Nailed it.It was perfect when you guys cofirmed the dte/mileage indicator with the years old review video.I opened the video expecting if that issue covered or not.
Covered all the things that matter in shortest time.Great Job guys👍.
the rear tail light looks worse than the Elite i20
You criticize manufacturer for not giving big boot, then you criticize the one with bigger boot (Polo) for not having enough rear seat leg room. At the end of the day, its a sub 4m car guys, what do you expect? Chop off the bonnet? Personally i feel that if someone doesn't care much about driving and performance, go with Hyundai i20. It's nice to be driven by someone in it. Not much fun to drive. Other wise go for VW Polo 1.5 TDI for the FTD factor. Other wise happy birthday to you.
very valid comment :) honestly i too feel the same.
When some one is buyin a car for the first time, i suggest them swift or i20 something that they think is easy to drive n not something that makes driving easy.
Navdeep Rana not so much so a criticisim rather a statement of fact. It is our job to tell you guys everything you need to know. To some consumers bootspace is important. Also, I did say that its a tough car to criticize because it does a lot of things very well.
we know manufacturer has to work with 4m to start with. So if one thing is given priority, other will lack space. At the end of the day, customer has to decide which one they need more. Boot space or leg space. i20 has successfully done what other cars are not able to do. And that is satisfying every family member. It has something for everyone. My cousin brother has one and it is a good car. Although I bought a Polo because I wanted more FTD factor.
HONDA JAZZ!!!!
go to hell if you don't find this car spacious!
Navdeep Rana do you see the Figo 1.5 sports as an alternative??? Much cheaper
Gaps are filled like distance to empty, and android auto apple carplay. Sliding Armrest. Nice soft suspension. Steering takes time to get used to it.
Air Conditioning Still Best in class , it can still beat cabin cooling quality against cars many segments above.
The cabin is so much silent, obviously you will hear some engine. In other cars cabin is not that quiet so you don't hear engine much relatively.
Still the best hatchback considering Indian Roads conditions and Weather conditions.
The car is worth every penny..been using it since last 3 years,the car has never compromised in any aspect,except the mileage...
Dint like the blunt DRLs. The Petrol 1.2 L is very refined yes, but boring AF. Less said about the steering feedback and handling the better. The price for the top variant is high and the lower variants got the foster child treatment
Bro, soft suspension is what I prefer. All cars in market CANT be with sporty feel.
. You may buy baleno or swift for handling or stiff suspension..
Elite I20 is all together for a different category of people. Relaxed quite and comfortable drive is what this car offers. Many guys dont want to twist and turn their car on high speeds ..
Plz let the suspensions be the way they are.. Stop sending message to company that public needs stiffened suspension and direct steering.
You guys make good videos but plz just tell what the car feels like. Don't try to create an opinion. Just Advice is welcome
Great & very informative video.
I thing which I HATE the most about the new Elite i20 2018 is the treatment given to the rear. The tail lights need to be LED and the moving number plate from rear bumper and mixing black cladding to the rear bumper is something not needed at all. For this all experimentation Hyundai has i20 ACTIVE.
So I would request Hyundai to bring back the same rear profile that of the outgoing i20 with LED taillamps and two reversing lights in rear bumper.
This is the first video iv ever seen in 2:1 (18:9) aspect ratio......ThankYou
Can someone tell me why Hyundai is not offering EBD, automatic front wipers and rear disc brakes in Elite i20.. But old I gen i20 had all of these features.
BHARATH V R rear disk on a 1.2?? Maybe they thought it was too much... I mean the rear drum does a great job anyway....
The alloy wheels of previous version was much better according to me
Sorry to say brother background music is to high i don't understand what you are saying
"engine noise cuts through??
weird sounding engine??"
LOL
can he show me better sounding diesel hatchback?
Why you never do a music system review? It would be great help to choose among the variants based on music system review too!
Always loved the way i20 looks. And those alloys looks cool
Which would be a better buy.....the 2018 grand i10 petrol or the 2018 elite i20 asta petrol
Where are you Fiat 😐 Where is the Punto !!! 😐😐😐 Why are Fiat so concered about Selling their engine rather than their cars 😐😐😐
Fiat earning more money by selling engine and Jeep than their cars....
Fiat have always been known as engine makers more than car makers. Italians make awesome engines. Remember the AVL engine of the RE Machismo?
The Last Gen Elite i20 with the Build Quality of a VW Polo, steering of a Swift, rear disc brakes, stiffer suspension and Engine of the Abarth Punto would be the ideal hatch for India in my opinion.
Aviral Pandey steering of swift? Are you high?
Sandeep Rajan Swift has a better steering than even the VW Polo or the Ford Figo S, it has hydraulic like steering feedback. Sadly, only a few people are aware of this.
Aviral Pandey are you talking about recent model? The first generation swift was awesome but the ones which came after that is not upto the level as per my experience.
Sandeep Rajan I am talking about the Second Gen Swift not the latest third gen one, haven't driven it so I cannot comment. I've had a good experience with Second gen swifts.
Aviral Pandey this is something new to me, never was a fan of swift 2nd generation due to the package they offered. Can't expect more anything from a company like Maruti.
Finalllyyyyyy ... Was getting tired with all of the motorshow coverage from Indian Auto expo to the Geneva .. thank you PD
Hey Powerdrift,
Would love your videos even more if you could add how the audio quality of the car is. A demo of the audio system would be a nice addition to a already extraordinary videos of Powerdrift
I like your channel the most when its comes for any car review.
You make the content very professional by adding humour to it get more interesting
I would like to see a comparison video between Baleno and i20 2018😁
Thank you for that compliment, and the suggestion too! :)
The old one looks better in my views
the old one was way,way better...this so called "update" is... pure horror!
I think both are equally gud
At first older one was btr
But if u loook closely
New one also look equally gud
really like the way you described the car and excellent video quality and editing. As usual, I always want to see the review of any vehicle on Powerdrift simply because I enjoy watching it till the end. Yes I think 120 is an ideal hatchback.
Good video PD. I and many of my colleagues feel that the earlier elite looks more classy. This is an overkill esp. at the back. However, to each his own, new or earlier, this is a potent car, good power,super silent engine, space, comfort and looks. All the best Hyundai.
who on earth makes such a passionate video on TH-cam about cars
This car never goes outa fashion ❤️
The 1.4 CRDi is a very potent engine and the built quality is light years ahead of other hatchbacks in the market. I have owned a baleno & jazz but they feel a little cheap in quality.
The front fog lamp area looks similar to the UK spec VW Polo. Still a nice car and no doubt i20 is an very good package.
You guys zoomed past my office in Pune! (Calsoft) :)
Driving it for past 10 days and it's fabulous car to drive and feel... Definitely a head turner
If i had good boot space, then it would have been the best selling premium hatchback.. Again great review powerdrift..
The first real #Premium Hatchback in India👌
Dear powerfrift team, u guys r so freaking good the way you review car , music n each detail really impressiv 👍
I liked the new rear, the previous one made the car look bulky, they have really made it look sleek from behind now and it goes very well with long bonnet of the car. This is the perfect hatch in the country now, especially the diesel one, barring the fact that its not a driver's car.
Well, to gain something, one must lose something.
i have never been so early
(😞 don't know what to say)
can get a 💓?
Utkarsh Chaudhary say 1st
No
nakul singh magh rahude bhava tujjhayani nahe honar😂😂😂

Old Bumpers were good in looks!
Plus it has corner lamps.very thoughtful of hyundai
It had been a very long time since you made some trip videos or web episodes.....please do make one for this pd army... we'll keep waiting for it... #powerdrift
The all new Hyundai i20 with a gorgeous ass lift for men that drool over cars and pretty much the same front but minor changes....Here we have it folks !!!!!
On a serious note that was a good video Glen...great presentation...loved it :)
i20 is my favorite car love this car
IMO Baleno is still the best choice in this segment.I own a baleno since a year now, never regret buying it.Best looker in this segment - ages gracefully ,ride quality and handling is superb especially at high speeds on the highway it does what you intend it to do despite the light weight,never feels out of control .5 adults can sit comfortably for short distances leg room at the back is too good (can manage to do so on long distances too,but no hatchback can guarantee comfort for 5 adults);mileage is good ,adequate features if you go for top end or second top end model , maintenance is low,and big,usable bootspace with flexi seats at the back.i20 scores high on comfort,entertainment features ,but low mileage ,bad handling ,lack of adequate leg room at the back and engine noise inside cabin (?!) are big drawbacks that would surely be felt in the long run and facelifts that cant fix those are useless.
I own a i20 asta CRDI 2011 model , driven 1,45,000 KM so far . The vehicle still drives very well , the engine is still responsive.It is quite premium still . My only opinion to Hyundai , you should not taken away the rear disc brakes from i20 and verna because both the cars are really powerful and new ones lack the braking power.
Jithin Jacob the 1.4 petrol i20 has 4 disc brakes I guess... Am not sure though
My uncle just yesterday got his i20 elite after watching your video...
#pdarmy
Hyundai Elite i20 Asta petrol or Hyundai Grand i10 Asta diesel? Which one is the pick if we don't consider the monthly running...
i am seriously confused btween the i20 active and the jazz. The jazz is more preferred by my family,its spacious and has all the necessary features.But the jazz hasnt seen any updates for a long time and i am really crossed with honda for not launching a proper facelift.The active i20 is better looking,better build inside out,has a lot of features keeping with the time and more ground clearance.Also the jazz is more efficient.considering the petrol engine in both-
1) which of these is a better drivers car( love the polo but not a versatile package)
2)which one has the better engine
3) Is the 165 mm ground clearance coupled with the stiff suspension good enough to tackle our roads without scraping the bottom
pls reply.i hav been having this confusion for a long time.
I20 the best. Proud owner new rear looks like s cross
This or ford figo sports??
Waiting for dis for quite a while 😍... Awesome review.. i20 the class apart💗
Thanks for a lovely video as always.. I will like to add though you mention that at a 65k higher you get 4 more airbags n a better audio. But is that enough for a brand like Hyundai? We all agree that Hyundai always try to charge a premium for their cars.. I hope we all agree that they know how to make car better, but they don't want to be highest volume churners by passing a little more benefits to it's customer.. that's surprising.. why don't they place their cars as a better value proposition?? It's been long that Maruti has been holding this position n if Hyundai wants, they can... But they love to position themselves in between low end Maruti n higher brands.. Can we as a costumer expect more loyalty from Hyundai after almost 20 years presence in India?? I give this to everyone watching this video today to support me n raise this awareness for people in Hyundai who has been ignoring better value proposition for a long time.. I hope all the buyers of Hyundai has proved all these years that we want a better (driver enthusiastic) n safer car for our family!!!
Previous models were beautiful
Only d best part is the front grill
Midhun George Varghese
Really man its fact...
I am already using i20 elite
Sportz Option
I have gone to service centre recently
The person expert over there also said the same thing...
also the update has been made as it was needed..the car is now little bit refreshed...
updated Elite i20 does a better job of distributing its safety features and creature comforts across its long list of trims, makes it one of the best buys in the segment.
Is it like glen for car and sagar for bikes? Why sagar doesn't do car review?
Is there increase in avg. matter also or not.?? Let me know
Love from Kathmandu, Nepal ❤️🇳🇵
once upon a time POWERDRIFT is AWESOME bt still... better than other channels
We would love to know where we can improve, Revanth. Anything that enriches your experience! :)
just check ur past videos...🤷
which one is better upcoming elite i 20 cvt or honda amaze cvt ( both same price bracket )
Hi I have to decide two car variants one is elite i20 sports petrol another car swift zxi variant petrol which one I have to pick kindly clarify for my suggestion I need decent mileage and good safety, breaking stability control car
The pajero was looking great Though!!!
Not saying anything negative but if you use little less background music or starting music it would be better. Btw you guys are great.
How does it compare against the Ford Figo Sports or Freestyle Diesel considering the diesel variant is going to get the same 1.5 lt engine in ford... in terms of drivability
Keep on watching the car and u will start to like it
Glenn, don’t you think the problem with brakes is with all Hyundai cars ??
In the name of safety and quality Hyundai keep increasing the prices of their cars ....!
Tata is doing great just waiting for x451 to be launched then this so called Hyundai premium hatchback's price will come down by at least 30k if not then they will be selling what they thought when it was launched 1000 cars a months
dont worry, u wil get heavy discounts, cashback offers, and packages here :P
You forget to tell that cut out in front bumper 😜
Diesel engine i20 is my pick other hatchback in the market
Short & Nice review. With Best car in it's segment.
Can you review VW PASSAT ? Thanks
+1 pls.
Being first gives you nothing
Cop Rider undoubtedly i20 is the best hatchback till date...
Avi Bhattacharya depends if u talk features yes
engine nope
@powerdrift.... Asta model dont feature rear wiper and washer and rear adjustable head rest! What a shame!!
The Tail Section Was Much Better In The Pre Facelift Model
I still like the old model's alloys.
"You're welcome, India."
LOL!
Previous i20 is better in terms of look... And also alloy wheels design also nice of the old elite i20
Well for me I like the older version better. Even for the rims, the current one seems to look smaller than it is.
What's real world mileage of the petrol model??
Great review Glen. Technical question: Do you think the distance to empty/avg MPG is just a software touch or is a hardware involved!! ?
Jay Kumar It must be as software I guess ,you know your fuel gauge and distance traveled , what I feel is fuel gauge has a higher precision so that it can measure rate of change of fuel for short distance and get instantaneous mileage
Hi PD team,
When is the all new i20 coming up? Do you have any first hand info?
It was planned for June before but due to unwanted circumstances it got delayed and now I lost track of it.
Where is Glen nowadays?
Sir humne i20 ka top model book kia hain. Mere kuch question hain app se
1) kya gari ka engine insufficient hain weight k wajah se ?
2) kya gari ka steering light hone k wajahz se kharab feel & feedback deta hain ?
3) kya gari main EBD hain ?
4) agar gari main 5 log bathta hain to kya acceleration karne main thora bohot zor dena padta hain ?
5) gari ka top speed kitna hain ?
6) high speed main stability kaisa hain ?
7) kya highway keliye ye gari hai ? ( Kyu ki bohot jagh main dekha ki ye gari high keliye nehi hain )
Previous model was better in terms of looks😶😶😑
The older one is better than this facelift (specially in the case ofalloys).. but still remains the best car in this segment.....😃
just press lock and unlock button together it will not make noise it works in my santro hope so it will work in i20also
Why don't I20 get beige combination like in Verna. The beige dash board looks bad compared to Jazz.
6:51 don't know why but it looks funny 😂😂
Still a tough competitor in this segment. Needs few interior works though to get a much more premium feel.
Why the don't use led projector headlights like Baleno and swift?
Looks less on chrome and I feel the fog lamps cluster looks a bit dull
Waiting for the cvt review
Bloopers in the end...pls.... :)
Plz do a comparison of i20 vs baleno 2018
I am really confused which one to buy!
Is i20 automatic version good one ?
