The Hyundai i20 offers two petrol engines that suit different priorities. The 1197cc naturally aspirated engine is the everyday choice and comes with a manual or a CVT. The 998cc turbo makes 120hp at 6,000rpm and 172Nm of pulling power from 1,500 to 4,000rpm, which is a wide band and the reason it feels flexible on the highway.

Key facts for the i20:

Gearboxes across the range are a manual, a CVT and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The car measures 3,995mm long, 1,775mm wide and 1,505mm tall on a 2,580mm wheelbase.
Boot space is 311 litres.
Six airbags are fitted, along with ABS, stability control and tyre pressure monitoring.
Our testing recorded 12.56 seconds from 0 to 100kph in the turbo dual-clutch.
The 10.25-inch touchscreen is the largest fitted to anything in this class.
A Bose sound system, a wireless charger and a built-in dashcam are offered on the higher variants.

I own a 2016 i20 model, and it's the best for me in terms of features, style, and mileage. It serves well for city and highway use, making it a great family car.

The i20 is compact and awesome, especially the N-line. The sound is fabulous, and the interior is comfy. The infotainment could be better, but overall it's spacious.

Hi, I am getting Hyundai i20 Magna Executive Starry Night for Rs. 6 Lakh in Kolkata with 5 free accessories. I am confused about its mileage and the compromise that you had mentioned. I am getting free accessories in Hyundai Exter H3X for Rs. 5.9 lakh as well. Please suggest.

•3d

The i20 feels far more premium and its cabin is more spacious than the Exter's. Both cars share their 1.2-litre petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. And the difference between their fuel efficiency numbers (if any) will be negligible given that the i20 is slightly heavier than the Exter. Hence, if you like the i20 Magna and are getting a good deal, go for it, it is the better option.

Hello. We currently own a Renault Fluence 1.5 dCi and a Hyundai i10 Automatic. We are now looking to replace the i10 with another compact car, and I am confused between the Skoda Kylaq, Citroen C3 and Hyundai i20 IVT. Before the Fluence, we owned a Fiat Palio Diesel 1.9. The new car will primarily be used for city driving.

•4d

For primarily city use, the Hyundai i20 IVT is the best fit. Its 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine is smooth and refined, offering good drivability in the city. The IVT automatic is also seamless and makes everyday city driving very convenient.It will also be more fuel-efficient than the turbo-petrol Skoda Kylaq and Citroen C3. The Kylaq is worth considering if you do more highway driving or need the added ground clearance.Overall, the i20 is a good upgrade over your i10 and makes for a great city runabout.

I’m being offered the Hyundai i20 Magna Executive at Rs 6 lakh on-road, but I’m unsure about its fuel efficiency and performance. Are there any other cars I should consider in this price range?

•5d

The price you are getting the Hyundai i20 for is very good as for your mileage query, the i20 does have a decent fuel efficiency and you could expect around 12 to 15 kpl on a mixed city and highway use, depending of course on your driving style and conditions. If mileage is a key concern, then you could consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which, in like-for-like conditions, would return better efficiency. However, you would likely have to pay a bit more in the purchase price, as the offers and discounts on the Baleno would not be as attractive as those on the i20. Thus, if you are not driving a lot, then the money you are saving with the lower purchase price on the i20 would offset the slightly lower efficiency.

I need a second car with a maximum budget of Rs 13.5 lakh (on-road). My top priorities are performance and driving feel. I am confused between the Hyundai i20 N Line and the Skoda Kylaq Signature+ (both automatics). Which one is better for pure driving pleasure, given my running split is 70% highway and 30% city?

•6d

Both models on your shortlist are enjoyable cars to drive. The Skoda Kylaq feels punchy and solidly put together and also offers a crucial bit more ground clearance than the Hyundai i20. It's also got the smoother gearbox. However, for someone buying a car primarily for driving feel with the majority of use on the highway, the i20 N line gets our vote. Performance is good but it's the tweaked suspension and steering that really uplift the N Line to make it feel properly involving to drive in corners. This Hyundai car also looks sportier thanks to the visual upgrades outside and inside, while the slightly enhanced soundtrack from the exhaust is a happy reminder that you are driving something special.

Hi Autocar Team, I am currently driving a Hyundai Elite i20 Asta petrol manual. So far, I feel it is the best-designed car in its segment, offering great comfort and mileage that varies depending on traffic conditions. I was wondering if I could give it a facelift by replacing the front section with that of the new-generation i20. My second thought is whether I should wait for the new Hyundai Bayon or if a facelifted Hyundai i20 or Hyundai Verna is expected. I find the rear design of the new-generation i20 disappointing, and I still feel that the Elite i20 I currently own is the best-looking version. What are your thoughts?

•3w

The best option is to hold on to your Elite i20 for now rather than modify its front end or replace it purely in anticipation of a new model. Since you value its design, comfort and fuel efficiency, a newer car needs to offer a meaningful improvement in those areas to justify the expense. A facelift using the next-generation i20's front end would also be a custom modification rather than a straightforward factory upgrade, with potential issues around body panels, lighting, fitment and insurance.The Hyundai Bayon is worth waiting for, particularly if you want something newer without giving up Hyundai's everyday usability. Its India launch is confirmed for 26 October 2026, with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and manual or IVT automatic options. However, Autocar India has not tested it yet, so its ride comfort, real-world mileage and driving experience remain to be assessed.There is no confirmed India launch date for the next-generation i20, while the Verna has already received a facelift in 2026. Since the Elite i20's design matters so much to you, replacing its front end with newer i20 components is unlikely to be a straightforward or cost effective modification.
