Hyundai has recently launched its another premium hatchback car which they call it as "The Uncompromised" is actually the higher version of Hyundai i20 that was released 2 years back. But with the launch of this variant, Hyundai will surely rule the mid range market due to Elite i20 unlimited premium features in the mentioned price bracket. Read on the complete review regarding this product.
Hyundai Elite i20 comes in both Petrol and Diesel variant. Price starting from Rs 4.90 lakhs (ex: showroom, Delhi) to Rs 7.67 lakhs (ex: showroom, Delhi) for Era to Asta version respectively. There's little doubt that Hyundai's evolving Fluidic design theme has only gotten better over time. The Elite, as Hyundai prefers to call it, is a fine example of that, with an array of crisp lines and features that gives the car an all-new look, and yet, manages to retain hints of its predecessor's design.

Engine & Performance
Hyundai has designed two variants in engines, one is 1.2l Kappa Dual VTVTpetrol engine and second is 1.4L U2 CRDi diesel engine. Kappa engine has 1,197cc displacement that produces power of 83ps @ 6000rpm and max torque 11.7 kgm where as the CRDI diesel engine has 1,396cc displacement that produces power of 90ps @ 4000rpm and max torque 22.4 kgm. In our view, kappa engine is best for traffic and long routes where as diesel engine is best for long routes in case of delivering optimum performance.
Safety, Ride and Handling
Hyundai has done no compromise in terms of a safety by adding dual airbags at the front and rear (only in higher version). Moreover for ride and handling, elite i20 diesel variant seems to be effective, especially in road cutting and overtaking.
