Now Hyundai i20 Diesel!

Dc, the reason being its yet to get official launch, and see the second picture posted, this is taken from invitation by the said source, and hyundai has said two marveels launching which seems one to be 1.4 crdi and another 1.4 petrol one.

Did any one read this - Hyundai to launch i20 1.4 AT.


VT

yea i read about it in another forum
it is really good that hyundai is offering better engines now!

hey this source says that new 1.4 petrol would come only with AT transmission and not with manual ones, so expect a price above its diesel counterpart for AT one.

Hyundai i20 CRdi
Hyundai i20 diesel Magna - Rs6,19,800
Hyundai i20 diesel asta -- Rs6,83,431
Hyundai i20 diesel Asta (O) -Rs7,20,430

Hyundai i20 Petrol AT

i20 Asta AT - Rs7,31,130
i20 Asta (O) - Rs7,72,301

so icar all this prices are ex-showroom, and please provide the source alongwith.

check out specs revealed for i20 diesel as well as for 1.4 AT petrol versions

Well.. there's no common thread for i20.. so posting the news here..

Hyundai India has decided to shift part of the production of the i20 for the export market from Chennai to save on logistics costs and import duties in Europe. By December 2010, India’s largest car exporter will shift part of the production of the Hyundai i20 to one of its facilities in Turkey, the Czech Republic or Slovakia to take production closer to its large overseas markets such as Germany, France, Italy and the UK. Logistics costs and import taxes add 10-15% to the price of cars exported from India.

A nearly three-week-long strike by workers at its plant near Chennai in April and May hit output, leading the company to shift production of some models to other manufacturing sites. The strike led to a 5% drop in production, forcing the company to re-think on its export target. Hyundai is banking heavily on the stimulus packages being rolled out by various European nations, where cash incentives the equivalent of up to Rs 3 lakh are being provided to buy fuel-efficient cars such as the i20.

The Chennai facility is a major global manufacturing hub for Hyundai’s small cars and has the capacity to produce 6 lakh units a year. Exports accounted for about half of the company’s sales of nearly 5 lakh units in 2008. The wholly-owned Indian arm of the South Korean company exported 1.35 lakh cars in the first six months of 2009, a 22% increase over the year-ago period. The i20 is expected to account for over 40% of exports for 2009-10.

specs look impressive for a hatch. The Fabia needs to watch out now.

Skoda Fabia needs to cut down on maintainence or else they will be replaced by the i20. Otherwise Fabia is a very good car, its got a certain elegance to it which the i20 does'nt quite match up too.

Thankfully, Hyundai has introduced i20 Diesel with all 3 trim levels unlike Accent CRDi and Verna CRDi which were introduced in only 1 trim level, the basic one.

Anyday i would miss the Getz CRDI with 1.5L engine and 110BHP with 240NM torque ... i feel hyundai could have launched i2o with a similar engine.

1.5l engine lost in driveability with noticeable turbo lag. Its in-gear timings were badly lesser than Swift. This all-new 1.4l would be more driveable, at least the figures suggest so.

some pics of new i20 crdi that we were able to see at showroom

Nice pics.
Hyundai is going right way now, I would prefer this i20 anyday over the pricey Fabia!

but the only thing is their always wrong pricing, they did this on getz and now with i20, it shouldbe few k cheaper to curent prices.

@thackervijay Did you test drive it?

PS: This might be off topic
Team - Did Chennai turn into a union territory? I was looking at the ex-showroom price for i20 in Chennai and Pondicherry and they both seems to be the same. I checked with Maruti site bingo even there the prices are close. Can someone throw some light on this change?

Any way its about i20 diesel. Dude, only the ex-showroom price is same. You need to add about 14%(not sure) for tax and insurance in TN and about .5% in Pondicherry.

no icar, thats going to be tomorrow, last week no TD vehicle was available.

So we are up for another review by Vijay and Bharat duo.

Hey Bharat and Vijay, go for it mates. I promise it will be a nice car. Also TD the Fabia and Swift diesel side by side and give us a full comparison.
