Hyundai i20 Turbo Asta DCT Updates

Monday, 08 April 2024 04:43 PM The Hyundai i20 Turbo DCT has been praised for its performance, particularly on highways, where it accelerates quickly and comfortably maintains triple-digit speeds. However, the low-speed ride can be a bit bumpy, and the steering feels oversensitive at higher speeds. I think this makes it a great option for everyday driving but not ideal for serious enthusiasts.

Monday, 08 April 2024 07:13 AM The Hyundai i20 Turbo DCTs build quality has been a point of concern, with the car feeling flimsier than previous generations. The hatch, in particular, has shown signs of thin sheet metal, and the cars handling over rough roads is not impressive. I believe that while its comfortable and feature-rich, the build quality needs improvement.

Monday, 08 April 2024 02:48 PM Hyundai has priced the i20 Turbo DCT Asta (O) variant at around Rs. 11.33 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which is significantly higher than its direct competitor, the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI. However, the i20 offers more features and better performance, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a no-compromise hatchback. I think the extra features and power make it worth the price for many buyers.

Monday, 08 April 2024 07:55 AM The Hyundai i20 Turbo DCT comes equipped with a 998 cc, 3-cylinder inline turbo-petrol engine producing 118 bhp @ 6000 rpm and 172 Nm @ 1500 rpm. The seven-speed DCT transmission is smooth but can be hesitant in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I believe the engine and transmission combo is great for both city and highway driving, despite some minor quirks.

Monday, 08 April 2024 11:57 AM The fuel efficiency of the Hyundai i20 Turbo DCT is claimed to be 20.2 kmpl by ARAI, but real-world city driving can be less efficient due to the nature of the DCT and the turbo-petrol engine. I think this is a trade-off for the lively engine and smooth transmission, but its something to consider for city drivers.
