And how does the i20 N Line’s fuel efficiency stack up in real world driving?
With a 1.0 liter turbocharged engine the i20 N Line offers a balance of performance and efficiency. Official numbers are impressive, but real world experiences are often quite different. The car's fuel efficiency is variable, according to owners and reviewers, who differ on whether the car can really use that much fuel in certain driving conditions and whether the improvement in fuel economy has really proved. For the discussion, there are city vs highway driving, driving style and traffic conditions etc. Then there is comparison with the fuel efficiency of the standard i20 and other cars in the segment. Some say the sportier nature of the N Line means they consume a lot more fuel, while others say they can get good efficiency with careful driving.
It’s not great, but what do you expect from a sporty hatch? In the city I get about 11-12 km/l which is okay for the performance.
I'm actually impressed. If I drive sensibly, I get about 16-17 km/l on highways. That turbo is all about how you use it.
Start enjoying the car and fuel efficiency goes out the window. Isn’t that the point of getting an N Line?
It's thirsty in traffic. In heavy city driving, I’m barely getting 9-10 km/l. If you have a long commute, definitely consider this.
It’s pretty efficient for a turbo engine, I think. Mixed driving averages 14-15 km/l (mpg). As long as you don't mash the throttle everywhere.
In city driving, the DCT version appears more efficient than the manual. Could it be because it shifts more optimally?
The extra performance, however, makes up for the lack of efficiency compared to the naturally aspirated i20. You can't have it all!
