2015 Hyundai Active i20 | First Drive Video Review | Autocar India

[@udaynair1]

I test drove Hyundai i20 Active 1.2 Petrol Variant twice and found that even in 1st gear, you can move the vehicle by releasing the clutch alone (like we do in Diesel cars) from Idle, unlike Elite i20 which remains stand still & always needs a accerelator input for a move on. When I test drove elite i20 petrol, it tends to stall on speed breakers & inclines in 1st gear if accerelator is not pressed. i20 Active is good on Brakes too unlike elite i20 petrol which has so many complaints of brake becoming hard (ABS kicking in too early) and unable to apply brakes especially in low speeds. i20 Elite Diesel brakes are spongy (takes longer to stop) and need to press harder for a estimated stop.

Highly Disappointed with i20 active in terms of pricing. The top diesel model will cost more than 10 lac. Spending this much amount on a hatchback doesn't look like a good decision. The interior color also disappoint a lot. Blue color interior looks really bad although black is bit better but nothing compare to the i20 Elite. not much of changes has been done in terms of few which doesn't make any sense spent 90,000 more on top most variant. I was waiting for this since Feb beginning in the hope that i will get something really good but after seeing i20 active i would still prefer to go with i20 elite.

[@WinterMediaentertainments]

GEt Avventura

[@adityaponugonti]

Exactly. I don't understand how autocar is saying it's hard to resist when you have to spend close to a lac more than elite, when the agree the performance is same. The DRLs and Projectors are the only value adds, and I am hearing that the same original set up can go onto Elite for 25k (this price will only go down) at Hyundai Authorized SS

[@bharatbharija]

At 11 i can get Ecosport TItanium(o), why will i buy i20 ??

[@DoubleA2290]

Did Hyundai forgot to put on tyres? Why so skinny?

[@AakashNarang]

Good review but disappointed with the video quality. Even at 720p the video was kind of hazy and not very watchable.

[@Smiteshable]

They have given lot to this car... I mean this is a great car no doubt at all, but the thing is that, there are lot as of curves and designs on body panels which makes it looks like more complicated.......

[@RahulWadhwa31]

Its better to go far a Fiat Avventura as it gives confidence for cornering at high speeds and a BETTER ground clearance and also it looks quite apart from its smaller sibling (Punto) which isn't the case with the i20. You get your moneys worth in case of an Avventura as its gets a lot more for the extra price. Not to forget the Rear Mounted wheel makes it look Stunning and added Gizmos for Interior. Plus anyone going for the top model of this car, I would request you to consider Mahindra Scorpio S4+ model.

[@adityaponugonti]

The only caveat with Avventura is the underpowered engines for the weight to lug around. The TJet should change all that

[@RahulWadhwa31]

Aditya Ponugonti You're right. Its not that far behind from others but the T-jet is coming in a couple of months and it certainly will make Complete Package !

[@btarunr]

The petrol i20 Active is pointless. The vehicle looks too heavy for the 1.2L engine carried over from the i10, and you can barely offroad on a FWD setup with just 110 Nm maximum torque. For its price, Hyundai should have given the petrol i20 Active the 1.4L Gamma engine (110 PS @ 6300 RPM; 140 Nm torque), and maybe thrown in an auto-box.

[@asifsutta]

Expensive😳

[@06looky]

HI guys, i am very much disappointed about i20 active petrol engine, 82bhp power and onroad cost of this car, i am excepted atleast 1.4 petrol engine, instead this car i perfer to buy Hyundai verna standard edition 1.6ltr engine, if spent another 2lakh. but i impressed with overall design and specf upgradation. in my behalf please pass this message to Hyundai indian motor company, thumb ups to design, but on road cost and pertol engine highly disappointed.

[@Amutha23647]

Not enough

[@sachinmalik24]

i don't find it attractive at all,,in this cross segment FIAT aventura is far much better in looks,feel nd features..

[@harshiljoshi]

Sachin Malik exactly!!

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

I checked the car out today and it looks Awesome (with capital A).. somehow it doesn't look as good in the video.. the one I saw is white in color with some body graphics..

[@ankitmeh83]

spending 90000 just for plastic..NOO

[@dashsingh5342]

Ankit Mehrotra yeah it is a bit costly but if you want something unique from the common elite. i think then you should go for it. but only if you have lot of money !!

[@rohanagarwal6848]

It's very expensive

[@acromaniac001]

shit car mahn cheap interiors, i20 elite was much better..!!
