Well i have been using this car n8 dct for 3 years. Clocked 40k+ km. Changed spark plugs, fuel pump, dct issues fix. All i can say is the suspension is not something you will find it good for indian city roads but on highways it will give you confidence like no other. Efficiency is something depends on situations, i have got 3 pointers to 20. Performance is something it will make you feel happy always if you haven't ridden the 1.5L turbo engines
How would have things been have you bought 1.0 TSI VW instead? How costly were the repairs and replacements you made in comparison to VW? The suspension in VW any different than i20 N Line? Did you try changing tyre profile to arrest undulation issue? Given a choice, would you today choose Kylaq over i20 N Line? Please suggest. Thank you in advance.
@@Ratnakar6486 1L of VW is way better than 1L Hyundais, there is no comparison, although the specs are very near to each other but engine blocks of VW is designed in such a way that it can be tuned till 230+bhp and 300+ Nm or maybe more. This is something you cannot expect from hyundai's 1L. Now due to this engine, VW has opened the powerband to 8-9k rpm compared to 5-6k band for every gear in the torque converter, this is the biggest advantage you get from VW, so that sudden push is very strong compared to linear and then sudden push from Hyundai. Suspension is also something you will hate in hyundai when you are driving in City and you will feel the same as VW in highways. Steering response is same in both. I haven't changed the tyre profile, sticking to secura drive only But service cost, parts cost, warranty coverage , customer satisfaction, these are something vw cannot come close to hyundai or Kia. they are unbeatable. VW or any european brand will eat your money pockets like anything, for ex, if rat eats your internal wiring for AC and headlights during rainy season for both VW and Hyundai, VW will charge you around 20k just for the AC wiring, whereas in hyundai it is under warranty, if not then around 9-12k for AC wiring just. Hyundai i20 nline gives premium features, good space, an engine which gives good performance and mileage and customer satisfaction. VW is meant for performance and ultra comfort. so given a choice between skoda or vw or Hyundai, if i think from my heart and i have money i would choose a VW and if use complete Brain then i will choose a hyundai/KIA or a Japanese product
Build quality , recently i got to drive 1st gen i20 sports variant. Its build quality is much better than i20 3rd gen. The door thud and smoothness of the engine even after 80k kms is impressive. I doubt the current turbo engine and build quality will last that longer.
Hey Kartikeya!! Hyundai should have either not offered the 1 litre turbo with the normal i20 variant, only the NA 1.2 with it or should have an increased output say 130 odd bhp and a bit more torque with the turbo Nline variant..that would have made the N line stand apart.. The 1.5 turbo that we see on the other models in the i20 N line would make i20 a lot expensive for a hatchback in India..
This 1.0 turbo is very lethargic, in venue manual turbo, you have to press the clutch twice after speed breakers or inclined roads for it to start pulling, it suffers torque loss because of tiny bore and stroke, if you drive in hilly roads you will hate it. At this price point or less of a hatchback, the altroz diesel is the one to pick, pack a punch, strong pulling power, 20+ mileage, safety, style, etc.
That engine lets it down. When it gained speed it felt like a bigger alto. It was really good. But when it came to hilly terrain, the engine showed it’s true colours. The lack of low end torque is very apparent. It was much better to drive my Glanza over those terrains.
I will disagree a bit. Own the car, ran 9000 on odo. I daily (almost) to the hills and generally drive it on sports + pedals. The torque delivery is good enough although rev matching with pedals has to be learnt. Mark it, its a totally different car within a car. Yes, in auto mode, it is lethargic! P.s. I have at my disposal a polo gt 1.5 tdi and a verna turbo dct. (Stating this just to tell that we do test the cars on a weekend basis.)
@@LAKSHAYSHARMAYOGDEEKSHAHaha, you disagreed completely 😂. I was comparing this to my daily driver a Glanza. Compared to i20, Glanza was effortless when it comes to climbing hills. The low end torque is missing as expected because it’s a 1L 3 cylinder engine. In all other departments i20 n Line is a better car. There’s enough power once the turbo spools up. But until that point, it’s a dull engine.
@@thurules I have a polo gt 1.0 torque converter. Compared to that this feels very laggy and lifeless. Lacks zest. The shift takes some time from first to second. Add to that lot of turbo lag its not even liveable
Even i have 1.0 polo gt. Polo is soo much more punchy than this. U won't really miss anything apart from backseat space, rear armrest, keyless go, sunroof and a bigger screen
I have to go over around 10 rumbler strips daily on my commute. It's fucking terrible for this use case. Recently, I'm not sure why but it's started making weird beeping noises every time it goes over a bump.
May be it is good to stop this series explaining why you shouldn’t get one. May be u should highlight what is good and bad about it. There may be people who like it and get it. Not a good series IMO😅
