I have the previous gen. 2015 - 2018 model i20 with the 1.25L 4 cylinder 84hp engine, have had it for almost 4 years now and its been a very good and 100% reliable car. I did not like the rear styling of this new model, i find the older one to be better styled and as practical, so keeping my current one with the aim of reaching 300.000km (approx. 200K miles) before getting a new car.
I own the Hyundai i20 T-GDI 48V, in malta we also have the 1.2 non turbo/non mild hybrid option but believe me this engine is really awesome, hats off to the engineers.. I really enjoy driving it and I have driven it in sports mode and felt like a mini sports car 😃❤️ I'm in love with her ❤️😃😃😃
I was aiming for bayon..now thinking about i20 . It seems a bit sportier. And I am one guy not having a family I mean. ( Tries not to cry, go cries in the corner) 😊
***EDIT*** Please read the update comment in this thread to find out what my MPG is now!!! 👌🏾👌🏾 This is my first car... I have the exact same car as in the video. Such a great little car. Would recommend to anyone. Everyone likes the car and it sounds great.. especially on the downshift in sports mode. I only get 30 MPG even in Eco mode. That its my biggest disappointment. I'd love to know how you get 44 MPG from it. I'm glad with the choice I made, despite how long I had to wait.
That's very poor mpg for a small manual car. I myself need an automatic and ordered a Yaris hybrid which does 70-80mpg in urban driving in the summer. With rising cost of living prices, spending less on fuel will help.
This girl is one of the best reviewers on UA-cam. She is such a breath of fresh air, I just love her style and charisma, it all just flows. Auto express she is pure gold!!!!!!
No it hasn't it's got the most buggy software I've ever seen. I don't mind cars with small engines but I do mind cars with a centre console that hardly works or works inconsistently especially when it comes to Android auto. The dashboard is too basic and a petrol gauge wouldn't go a mess.
What do you think about Hyundai suing their customers, brother, the new case i20 comes into service for 25 times, they riot, they sue the man, and instead of apologizing, our brother on the youtube channel @ sessizruzgar , they sued when the brand should apologize, and then the man filed a lawsuit.
I had looked up this car to see whether it has the potential to be my next car a few months ago. It's got a lot of potential, digital display and 10.25 inch screen and a big boot for a small car. However I went for the Yaris hybrid excel as that has an unbeatable urban fuel economy of 70-80mpg in the summer.
People still buy new manual cars? You'd have thought they'd only be available in vehicles like the MX5 and Toyota 86 by now. Looks good and I'm sure it's a tidy drive but at this point in time a hybrid drivetrain shouldn't just be an option...it should be standard.
I watched a few i20 video in the past few days, and noticed something with the native english speakers. Okay, I don't know how the Koreans pronounce it, but I bet it's not "Hi and I"
Flippy (toggle) climate control🤣 is a very luuuxxxx feature😌....reminds me of the W221 and W222 S-Class also I don't think the interior is boring it's nothing fancy but it is nice and simple. Love to see it.
Id love an N line trim one of these! Hyundai of late really have sprung onto my radar. Always admired their rally heritage but now the road cars appeal to me. Good work Hyundai and enjoyed the vid Nicola.
English and americans really can't pronounce anything that is not english word... How she say HYUNDAI is terrible and hard to listen. But video is good and exactly what i needed
Replaced my mk8 fiesta titanium x for the i20 n line. Both autos and the gearbox in the i20 is miles better. It’s more fun to drive as well. It’s such a shame that Ford cheaped out on the fiesta because the focuses are lovely to drive.
Am I the only person who can’t stand the way the fiesta drives?!😂 the focus is brill but the other half had a 2018 fiesta and I hated driving it! My corsa at the time was way nicer! This i20 looks fantastic!
This is a n line version of the basic i20 tho. It's indeed very good looking but beware of that specification cause the standard i20 will not look and feel the same as this n line version !
Sure, it maybe more practical than a Fiesta but it’s trying too hard - the styling both inside and out is a little too fussy for my liking, them rear lights for example are ugly!
It's not hard to beat the Fiesta when here in the UK you can't buy it any more, which is why the Corsa has taken over but that's because of price, PCP deals and cheap leasing not because of quality. I will test drive the i20 though not sure about the back but it is growing on me.
Bought one for my son and told him if it's still in the same condition in 2 years then the can have a go in the lambo, he's been desperate to drive it and the porsche gt touring since passing his test.
I wanted to watch this review but I really do not like Nicola Hume's presentation style... I want a car review, not 10 minutes of gurning, skipping about and acting like an 'Essex Lad'. Goofing about does not a motoring journalist make...
It beat everything in the segment.. Everything. A1, Fabia, Polo, Corsa, 208, Clio, Fiesta, and the others... technology, space on board, sportsmanship intended as serious fun, sound has the sound of a true sports car, this thing kills me. second level autopilot. yes there is some plastic, but look the seats and the stitching, the leather inserts from the steering wheel to the gearbox. mine is practically full optional and it came out much less than the competition and it is a pleasure. thanks Hyundai that despite Electric development you still believe. A car with sports trim, WRC lines, F1 third brake light, sports exhaust, rev matching in sport mode, so but where is it? You have to pay more and choose hot hatch but obviously better performance but higher prices and needs. If you don't have to go to the track, this one is also fine with a child.. maybe play with the ambient lights! 🤣
I hate that we can't get the I20 in Korea. We get the Morning (Picanto) but with out the turbo motor and some of the features. I love my Morning but wish it had more power and some of the standard features that you all get in the UK.
We love our i20 (currently 3000km+), car just is roomier than others in B class, which makes it no less practical than something from segment above, here in EU we got 1.2l DPi which is maybe a better option, unit is extremely-extremely frugal around 90 to 110km/h, to the point its economy truly rival hybrids. We especially like: *fuel economy *stability and peaceful behavior on highways *neat feeling on twisty roads *nice 8ˇ inch LCD with wireless Android Auto, which works flawlessly *backup camera is really useful, I saw significantly worse in times more expensive cars What we don't like yet? *rear parcel shelve twist on summer sunshine (after days under 24l of milk, it finally twisted back to its straight state) *stiff suspension is nervous on heavily damaged roads, even at low speed *windows don't close automatically with locking *start/stop system immediately stop the engine even after heavy climb (must be deactivated every ride)
@@rajindernijjer so as a brand they are now higher rated than Ford and most of German brands including surprisingly Mercedes-Benz that has been appalling last 5 years for reliability.
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this car, great work Hyundai, you finally made a car that I would love to own. I do have the previous I20 which is boring and probably no one will remember, but this new I20 N trim is miles and miles better, Would I trade in my i20 for the new I20N ohhh yes please with my eyes close.
I do wish she'd stick to reviewing the car instead of forcing her "personality" on us all .... Matt at carwow is much better at the jokes and sarcasm and this doesn't work for her sadly.
You drive like my wife, the car knows what gear it wants to be in, but she’s like “I know best, 4th gear and aiming for 30mph…” it’s the reason my next car will be an auto…
Mate I got the i20 2022 and I can assure you that the gear indicator is nothing special. You can go uphill or downhill, and the indicator will tell you to change gear at the exact point, meaning If you change a gear up, the car will struggle and will use more fuel.
@@antonisk_s4929i’ve been reading about uk i20’s having what they claim to be an “intelligent manual transmission” with an electrical clutch. Does yours have one by any chance?
Thanks Nicola but I still prefer my Fiesta Active, 0 to 62 in 10 seconds - rubbish I can do it in 8.4 seconds and I've got a slick auto-box. So No thanks to this machine.

Just bought myself an i20 n-line yesterday; now to wait for delivery!! awesome styling.
What an absolutely pretty car, I've got the N and adore it, but would seriously look at the nline if we got it in Australia 🤩🤩🤩
3:34 33mph, car suggests 6th gear, just try it! “Hit a hill” simply change down. I was taught to use the gears, that’s what they’re for! 😃
Yay, a Nicola review, can we have one everyday? My fave car presenter

The Bayon is actually a raised up i20. We love it. It is our family car. Maybe you could testdrive one. Just to compare the i20 to the Bayon.

Drove an I20 in 2013 and must admit...a good car n nice n round body design
I’ve had my i20 N-Line a month now and it’s stunning. Had a courtesy Fiesta the other day and much prefer the i20
How's the exhaust sound on the NLine?
@@tekoh it’s lovely. Not as loud as the proper N-line but it still sounds good and sporty
Is the Fiesta a longer car... It seems like the i20 is shorter... ? Oh , Hyundai bring this to Canada!
I think you did not mention this is the N Line version.
Here’s a tip, if you have one in Black, don’t have an all Black interior!🙄😎
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The Hyundai i20 looks great particularly In N Line Trim 😊
Mine is 1.2 Kappa Naturally Aspirated Manual Transmission I20
Ford's lost the Style & Quality race to Hyundai/ Kia etc...
As per usual, the posher model is tested!
Wonder why?
Great review.
And Hyundai offer 5 year warranty and 5 year breakdown cover !

The 120n is a animal compared to this.
Coming from a yaris 2021 nothing is boring on this car,😂😂😂

Watch out if you are a driving instructor. The 48v is prone to failure.
?
@@brianhume4743 every instructor around here who has a Hyundai with the 48v system has had it fail at least once. It is not ideal.
