Positives:
New chassis design feels nimble for city and easy to drive.
Punchy and efficient CRDi engine.

Very refined and silent diesel.
Lots of equipment and attention to detail on model asta.
Safety kit on offer on ASTA (o).
Standard ABS and rear discs on all models.
5-star NCAP rating.
Best fit and finish.
Best in class interior and boot space.
Service backup of Hyundai.

Expected high maintenance cost

 
   
   
 

 

Final Verdict :
While its compititor punto has an edge in style, ride and handling, build, equipment and high speed stability, the I 20 has safety features, fit and finish, the overall feel, refined, punchy and frugal engine, and interior space and comfort.
Moreover, owning an I 20 will give the Indian car buyer a better peace of mind than the punto and will also fetch better resale value years down the line.
Now, is the I 20 really worth the extra 1,50,000-2,00,000 over the asking price of the punto? Yes, and No.
Yes, because it actually gives you an impression of being getting more than what you have paid for with better engine, gearbox, warrenty, space and comfort and the overall feel of the car thats simply not there in the punto.
No, cause the car will be a bit heavy on maintenance bills as compared to the punto.
