2018 Hyundai i20 facelift Review | Express Drives

The Hyundai Elite i20 received a much-needed facelift recently at Auto Expo 2018. Thankfully, instead of doing just a nip and tuck job, the company intends to offer more value to the customers with some worthy updates on the new model. With fierce competition coming in from Maruti Baleno, the new 2018 Hyundai Elite i20 stands more confident as it has definitely got better now. But how much is the question? Arpit Mahendra finds out.

Please specify pros and cons about Elite Magna i20 plus, since my vehicle will be delivered by 22 dec 19

[@yogeshpingal4786]

Very nice explanation, good review

[@dinteapcnintyseven1591]

what would i choose.... baleno rs or elite i20 asta option

[@hempatel6051]

Sir according to you which color is good red or blue?? As I'm going to book asta o petrol I'm really confused in blue and red color.... Please help me out!!! Thank you

[@azeusolo3247]

Red

[@SudinJoseph]

Man I wish the alloy wheels were black for that body colour. It would have been super sexy and sporty.

[@amanraj-ku7zo]

Fine videography

[@arpitmahendra3]

Thanks!

[@beinghuman2034]

These features are available only in top end asta option variant .Base variants are not value for money eg era , magna .

[@ajmalabdulmajeed3861]

Baleno petrol or i20 elite petrol versions in these two which one is good at performance,mileages and safety?

[@arpitmahendra3]

In terms of power, both cars are pretty close but the Baleno will give you more kilometres to a litre of petrol. On safety grounds, the i20 is a winner as it comes with an option for 6 airbags, which is not available with the Baleno.

[@ajmalabdulmajeed3861]

So opted elite i20 full option

[@arpitmahendra3]

Great choice! Congratulations for your new car and wish you and your family a safe and comfortable drive.

[@ajmalabdulmajeed3861]

Thanks for giving valuable feedbacks,go ahead

[@ravinkatiyarvlogs]

I20 is more better than baleno

[@kishoremundhra75]

Sir grand i10 or Tata tigor...in petrol....pls suggest good car for mostly highway purpose

[@arpitmahendra3]

Both cars are from different segments. Highway stability at high speed and space is better in the Tata Tigor but the Grand i10 is better in other all areas.

[@marklyngdoh7036]

Can cornering lamps be installed in magna or sports variants??

[@arpitmahendra3]

Not from company but aftermarket options are many. However, I suggest you to stay away from such options as such installations can damage the wiring, leading to system failure or a fire.

[@marklyngdoh7036]

Arpit Mahendra thanks for the info. Appreciate it a lot.

[@arpitmahendra3]

Pleasure! Please subscribe to our channel to stay tuned for more of our videos.

[@gauravmiglani596]

helo sir ..Highway 60% city 20% rough roads 20% . which better FAMILY car overall??? Tigor XZ petrol Dzire Vxi petrol Elite i20 sportz petrol???

[@arpitmahendra3]

For the usage mentioned, you can look either of the Dzire and Elite i20. Your requirement for space and boot will be the deciding factor between the both as in term so features they are pretty evenly matched.

[@omkaravachari2864]

I20 is best

[@ishanthakurv]

go with i20 with premium car

[@petstimestarts2744]

I20 is better bro

[@manpreetnanda]

Pls review sportz diesel variant... And mileage

[@arpitmahendra3]

We will do that soon with all details.

[@ramdyvlogs]

A sedate driving in highways will yield you around 21-22 kmpl for Diesel.

[@pravinrajababu4518]

Very excelent reviev, my favoutite i20

[@arpitmahendra3]

Thanks for the appreciation! Hope you subscribed to our channel and will continue to share your feedback on our videos.

[@RaviKant-xs8zp]

Kya i 20 braking power baleno or swift Se weak hai ?P

[@arpitmahendra3]

Braking efficiency and stopping distance bilkul sahi hai but brake pedal se feedback Swift mein zyada milega.

[@divyanshupandey2066]

Sir asta ka bhi review keejiye na please

[@arpitmahendra3]

Sure Divyanshu ji. Jaldi karenge. Aap channel ko subscribe zaroor kare taaki aapko humaare updates mile.

[@ffg968]

prise kitna petrol ma

[@arshadhussain6331]

NICE AND BALANCED BUT MUSIC IS DISTURBING.

[@rishibajpai2976]

What about AC, does it cool fast up to desired level.

[@arpitmahendra3]

Yes, it cools pretty quick.

[@vaideki1970]

Y can't u review Volkswagen polo..........?????!!!!! 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@manjunathbv9908]

Hi sir baleno delta or i20 sports petrol

[@arpitmahendra3]

Hi. If you want better design and interior cabin quality then go for the i20. Baleno offers similar features at a slightly lower price and hence good value for money.

[@ravinkatiyarvlogs]

Hi, if u r planning for ride and safety features than go for i20 or if u go for price than go for baleno

[@NatureBoyWooo]

Baleno is not a long lasting product.

[@sarathchennattil8292]

Both cars are looking superrr

[@Mayank_Upa]

What is the mileage in real world?

[@arpitmahendra3]

We got about 13.7 kmpl while testing so in normal run you can expect the figures to up slightly.

[@lakshmikanth9622]

💕 i20 💕

[@iSaurabhSri]

Are you sure that it got EBD? I think its still unavailable on this car.

[@arpitmahendra3]

Saurabh. Thanks for pointing it out. Error on my part. Sorry!

[@hempatel6051]

It does have ebd

[@prashanth1844]

Nw EBD is in car

[@bharathnaik993]

Is it Asta or Asta optional?

[@soulonwheels8542]

Asta o

[@commentguy7]

Nice review..i drove this car..but the steering is just scary dead...i think i will go for swift zdi+

[@arpitmahendra3]

Yes, like I've said in the video, the steering doesn't reward you with any feedback but it's light operation makes it good for dense traffic. From a driving satisfaction perspective, the Swift definitely is better.

[@a.k.k05]

can you please explain what does dead steering means? many have said Feed back of steering but i dont know wht it means? could any one pls explain

[@arpitmahendra3]

In simple terms, it means that the steering wheel should let you know through your palms what's happening with the front tyres at any given point of time, especially during turns. So a dead steering won't let you know in time when you're running out of grip. It's like the feedback you get from a motorcycle handle but a lot lesser in intensity. Hope this helps.

[@a.k.k05]

Arpit Mahendra ok i get it now i am buying this car shortly and is it a big deal breaker?

[@commentguy7]

akshay kumar k it should if you are a new driver or addicted driving heavy steering vehicles.if you do drive in city then it should be ok for you

[@prashantverma5777]

Six air bags kafi pehle se ford figo m aata h so it's not 1st tym in segment...

[@arpitmahendra3]

I said it was the first to introduce in the country in this segment, which is the older i20

[@yogitriveditrivedi7190]

prashant verma which is best swift & elite i20

[@yogitriveditrivedi7190]

Sir which is best

[@sarthaksharma8468]

Hii

[@sarthaksharma8468]

Best car under 10 laks

[@iamsoumyadip]

Aditya Sanap nexon is great car no doubt..but its a new car, its engine hasn't tested for 3/4 years. tata cars problem starts after some years..if it runs well dn definitely nexon is champ.

[@karthikbk4812]

It's pronounced as Cabin not Gaybin

[@arpitmahendra3]

Chinese headphones or speakers I guess. It's pronounced clearly as 'K'abin

[@karthikbk4812]

Probably u have not used BEATS SOLO3 headphone datz y😂

[@akashk3066]

Karthik Bk Gaybin is a bin where people like you should be dumped

[@bharathv499]

Unlike Cheap ELITE i20, ford freestyle is the value for money car with its segment first features like auto dimming IRVM,auto wipers, floating touch screen, ESP, TRACTION CONTROL, HILL ASSIST, ARP, EBD,footwell ambient lighting, driver side vanity mirror on the sun shade, glove box light. Unlike cheap Elite i20 which doesn't offer any of the features I mentioned above, ford freestyle is the way to go.
