Hyundai i20 Updates

[mikrotik]

Polo GT is much better car in hatchback space. Comfort level in long drives is evident in German cars, specially VW.

The previous gen polo gt tsi 1.2 is probably better but I would say not the current neutered 1.0 version.

There was a comparison recently on one of the car shows on TV and this was the conclusion.

I don’t think people who are only looking for enthusiastic driving look at Hyundai cars anyways. Their USP is always having a lot of features, good service network, good resale value etc. All of which Volkswagen lacks.

I bought the 1.2 polo gt tsi mid 2019 for just over 11 lacs. Bought it in a rush to beat the anticipated neutering to 1.0 engine.

If I were in the market for so-called hot hatch today I would most likely have gotten the i20 1.2 dct top end variant.

I20 has also lost the turbo now. Just the stupid 1.2 liter engine now.

N Line is keeping it I think. I guess instead of adding a new engine for N, they just took the turbo from regular editon. DCT is also gone I think. Air purifier as well lol which is fine. All Black dash is now black and white

Fog lights are gone as well.

n line updated. 1 liter turbo and DCT are now exclusive to this variant. tiny fog lamps also make it to this variant. rest is mostly cosmetic.

Dafuq !. They downsized this to 1.0 too like the Polo.

 

[Sushubh]

lol i thought 1 liter turbo was better than 1.2 liter kappa?

 

[vishalrao]

IIRC previous one had 1.2 turbo? Similar to the Polo?

Anyways by the time I sell my 1.2 turbo Polo automatic, which should be within 5 years, the EV revolution should have swept India too with some good options for a similarly fun car to drive... relatively high horsepower and torque.

Latest Nexon.ev is a promising start in the local market.
