Dear Hyundai, please just plonk the 1.5L turbo in this car and just take my money!

Just bought a Manual N8. Loving it! It's not about how fast you can go, it's about the confidence it gives by being planted in the tightest corners and the amazing braking.

@inpursuitofhappiness366 9 ай бұрын

With turbo hatchbacks and manual getting extinct, we need more people to purchase these Because these help you get performance at a reasonable value for the amount of money manufacturers and Government demand Figo tdci was a legend, but Ford decided to quit Indian market, did not have a proper car premium hatchback segment and completely blamed consumers mindset And VW got greedy with Taigun/Kushaq, selling the same engine but at a way higher price tag So Kudos to Hyundai for keeping enthusiasts alive and we need more and more of these performance oriented products

As someone who gobbled up the IMT version from the moment it was launched, after 15k kms and stage 1+ remap with tire upgrade. I can say that lack of transmission was not the Achilles heel of this otherwise exceptional package.

That is a proper i20N whereas what we get is i20nline which has only cosmetic upgrades compared to the previous i20 which had the turbo petrol in the normal i20 lineup. Now Hyundai has decided to drop the Tgdi power train from the normal i20 to make the nline more appealing.

@VK_2025 9 ай бұрын

The automobile market has become completely uncertain after 2020, it's tough to choose among petrol, diesel, automatic, manual and ev. No one knows how govt policies will turn out. Hyundai brought this i20 manual after launching every kind of gearbox combination, maybe just to increase sales of the i20. The old performance based tuning of engines is almost lost. Roads have become so crowdy and dangerous that you need a well built car, prices of fuels have been raised too much so you also need good mileage. A car which is driver oriented and would be stressless for the next 12-15 years is tough to be chosen in the current scenario.

@karthikkarunakaranmenon6785 9 ай бұрын

Hyundai needs to up their build quality and safety of their cars. They have been charged with 210 million USD recently un US and Canada... And they need to take safety of indian cars as well aggressively by building safer platforms which does not break into two during an impact... It is not about building perception in terms of visual appeal for customers, but really enforcing into the car architecture....

Good that hyundai is offering this product though in moderation. In India small cars are not made premium and with sporty engines. Very few of us know that even suzuki is not fair n sincere with Indian customers the product called it offers Suzuki swift with 1.2 ltr only. Where as in advanced nation swift comes with 1.5 ltr engine. At least these companies should give choice of its international products to Indians also. 2024 suzuki swift again has been downgraded in terms of power. Shame. Yess then only choice is left with Hyundai N line.

Driving is a pleasure with this car.. However safety with the build quality is a big deal breaker. It is interesting that how cheap these car makers think about indian lifes.. See the same car in global markets and they will provide them with heavy sheet metal..and the moment they bring the car in India they make it feather light..
