To really understand the Hyundai i20, you can’t just take it around the block and call it a day. You have to live with it. That’s exactly how Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, senior editor at car&bike, approached it. With years of experience and thousands of kilometres of testing under his belt, he’s driven everything from entry hatchbacks to high-end performance machines. Hence, when he says something stands out, it does.
The Hyundai i20 was tested the way you would actually use it. The testing included dense city traffic, endless traffic signals, sudden highway overtakes, and broken road patches. And then there are long highway runs where you just settle in to see what the car is really made of.

The balance, as Siddharth points out in the review, “It makes it so much peppy, especially in Sport mode, ”really stands out when you switch modes and the car responds more sharply". The Hyundai i20 top model proves you don’t need an SUV to feel premium, powerful, and completely in control on Indian roads.
