    The i20 is not a cheap car

    The i20 gets a well designed and functional cabin, albeit not one that moves the game forward in any significant way. On the plus side, the Hyundai is certainly spacious, with decent accommodation in the front plus a good range of seat and steering column adjustments. It’s possible to sit one-six footer behind another in reasonable comfort and three abreast at the rear is not a big squeeze either.
    A boot capacity of 295 litres is decent for this class of hatchback and the flat load area and wide tailgate aperture and 60:40 split rear seats, makes the most of it. There are lots of cubbyholes, and the cooled glovebox is one of the largest we have encountered on an Indian car.
    The Asta version gets six airbags, seatbelt warning lights for all five passengers and electric folding rear view mirrors. The i20’s centre console features electronic climate control and an integrated music system with steering-mounted controls. The Asta also has USB connectivity, in addition to an auxiliary port for your iPod or MP3 device. A multi-information display on the dash tells you the outside temperature, time, day and date, and also journey information.
    The shiny plastics look downmarket and the dark brown colour isn’t to everybody’s taste and the vents for the air con are also not in keeping with the overall positioning of this car.
