Hyundai i20 Review Part III

One of the biggest setbacks of the Hyundai i20 is that it is equipped with the same 1197cc Kappa engine which is the same as the i10. The engine has a 16 valve motor which helps in producing 79 bhp which is good enough for a hatchback. Along with that it also produces an 11.4 kgm of torque. The body of the car is a little hefty which makes the entire car a little heavier than i10. The car is not as swift and takes a long time of 15.21 seconds to read 100kph which is two seconds more than the i10.

The car manufacturers have made a huge car which can not only accommodate 5 passengers but can also accommodate a whole load of luggage. But in the process of making a large hatchback the company has sacrificed the speed and agility. Hyundai i20 is not a good car if you are a frequent traveler and like ruling the road by overtaking fast moving traffic. The car has been proved to be quite sluggish and slow as you will find it quite difficult to overtake most new cars.

But if you want a large city car then Hyundai i20 is a good buy. At least the car is equipped with a well judged gear ratio which takes the most out of the Kappa engine. The i20 can be termed as a fuel efficient car as it offers a mileage of 11.2 kmpl which is good enough for a car this size. But this car has not lived up to the expectation as it does not have enough power under its belt and the large size may sometimes also act as a hindrance.
