Hyundai i20 price in Surendranagar

The 1.0-litre turbo petrol with the DCT has been used across several Hyundai and Kia cars, such as the Venue, i20 and the Sonet, and has proven reliable over time. 

Hyundai has also improved the gearbox’s smoothness, making it a well-rounded powertrain. Compared with the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine, the turbo offers a significant performance advantage, especially on the highway, and the 1.2-litre does not offer an automatic option either.

If you are looking for a peace of mind ownership experience, we suggest the Hyundai i20. Its smooth 1.2 litre four cylinder petrol engine and CVT transmission make city driving a breeze. You can choose the Hyundai i20 Sportz or Sportz O variant depending on your feature preferences.

As for efficiency, neither the i20 nor the Tata Altroz will be rated as very good, but both offer acceptable figures for what they deliver.

Given your requirements, you should choose between the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20. The Baleno comes with an efficient 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that's mated to a 5-speed AMT automatic. It has a spacious cabin, and being a Maruti car, it will be reliable and affordable to maintain. The i20, meanwhile, also comes with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, but that comes mated to a smoother CVT automatic gearbox. Do note, this Hyundai car can also be had with a punchy 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic in the i20 N Line. 

If you are open to buying an electric vehicle, the Tata Tiago EV is a good option for city use. It's got a smooth powertrain and is much more practical than the MG Comet you also considered. There's also the option of the Tata Punch EV, though it is slightly out of your budget. 

Among petrol automatic cars within your budget, the Hyundai i20 iVT and Citroen C3 AT have the smoothest automatic gearboxes. The Maruti Suzuki Swift AMT is also a good city car, though the AMT gearbox isn't as nice.
