In Summary
The Elite i20’s journey towards safety is a work in progress, with the hatchback showcasing a foundation that Hyundai can build upon to achieve higher safety benchmarks.
8.2/10The Hyundai i20 is one of the biggest success stories for Hyundai in the Indian market. The Elite i20 was one of the highest-selling cars in the premium hatchback segment before it was swapped with the all-new i20. This model has the potential to set the cast amongst the pigeons in this space.
The i20 looks the part from almost all its angles. The i20 has a design that is stand-out in terms of sheer attractiveness alone, although there are a few polarizing elements. Road presence is tremendous for the Hyundai i20. The Sensuous Sportiness design template lives up to its name while the grille and headlights are part of a single unit, looking more enticing in front. The jewel-patterned parametric grille has an imposing touch, particularly for its finishing in glossy black. It also gets LED DRLs and projector headlights along with projector fog lamps. There is a chiseled bonnet along with several body creases and cuts. The splitter gets a glossy black finish as well. The Z-shaped wraparound tail lights are linked by a chrome strip too.
Pros
Cons
The Hyundai Elite i20 is a family dependable premium hatchback. It is absolutely reliable and comfortable. With all the features it has to offer, it sets itself apart in that department, and that turbo engine makes it a pocket rocket for sure. It ticks all the right boxes in the ride and handling department, but is that enough to stay ahead in that segment? We think, it's enough to call it the new benchmark!
