Is the i20's sunroof really useful or is it just a gimmick?

Since the introduction of the Hyundai i20, the sunroof has been a major talking point. Its inclusion in the i20 has divided opinion in the Indian market where that feature is usually considered a premium one. For a few buyers, it’s one more thing that raises the car’s allure and contributes to a sense of spaciousness. Some say that it is impractical in Indian climate and may reduce structural rigidity. It also tends to spill over into debates about heat management, maintenance costs, and whether the sunroof actually affects buying decisions. This is now a symbol of the larger discussion about what features actually add value in cars in this segment.
