Күн бұрынIt's a battle of two brilliant pocket rockets - the highly anticipated Hyundai i20 N faces off against the impressive Ford Fiesta ST. Making this classic hot hatch battle even better is both are fitted with six-speed manual transmission! While closely matched on paper, does that translate to the real world?

I'm not professional mechanic. But I assume if the Hyundai went through a tuning stage process you have that fourth cylinder to fire up then a 3 cylinder to get more power if people like tuning modification process. On normal roads everyday driving no difference from either vehicle. 30mph speed limit is 30 by law for both vehicles. No difference in excitement. It all boils down to what you fancy buying own preference.

Fiesta is a little bit faster after several meters even if it has 3 cylinder, but not at the start where I20N is more reactive. Body and breaks I20N wins. Sound I20N wins. Design no way I20N is the winner because Fiesta has an anonymous design. Infotainment I20N wins. If I had to choose I should go for Hyundai considering all the specs.

Tipping the i20n wins, but I like the Fiesta better. More of a sleeper, and the engine feels more tactile with a meatier midrange. Also, the drag race is where neither of these cars truly shine. I'd love to see a track battle between these two around haunted hills. Edit. Paused before braking test, i20 n will win for sure. Also surprised to see the Fiesta take consistent drag wins, even if they are miniscule. Also, good to see D.C. Sorely missed from the MOTOR pages.

That was fun but hardly scientific, do you guys use proper measuring devices for the magazine article? 100km/h on the vehicle speedometers could easily be plus or minus 5km/h also as the Fiesta was ABS-ing during the stop it could probably use better rubber as brake rotor size on its own doesn't necessarily mean a vehicle will stop in a shorter distance but it will stop more often before fade sets in as there is more surface area to absorb heat. But of course as the i20N is track focused I'd assume it would have better rubber and bigger rotors compared to the street focused Fiesta ST, even though it probably has a track mode.
@1989rs500 2 жыл бұрын
Actually the Fiesta has better runner Mischelling Piloy 4s tires. The Fiesta is caliberarated differently.. Braking test is actually kind f awkward as the Fords front diff and eDiff prefers to ve less fade and less interference by rotors when driven out f corner.. Thats why the Fiesta is more balanced while mid corner braking is done.. Its more to do with balance unlike raw stopping power.

@1989rs500 2 жыл бұрын
I think you don't get it properly see.. Stopping a car from say 100 to 0 is a good parameter for a road car. These are hot hatches.. The Fiestas braking system intentionally bleeds speed in a slower manner to aid more control. Eg. U r taking a corner at 100 kmph. Fiesta STs combination of long pedal+gradual speed bleed makes it much easier to control it mid corner as opposed to grabby bite.. Also the brake fade will be less/lap. Both cars ve taken different route for achieving what they want. Ultimately both r great cars.. But after spending some serious time n both f these I liked Fiesta ST better. More mature and yet playful when one needs it 2 do that. I20N s always playful.. Kind f an over excited puppy.
