There's no doubt the new i20 is pricey, but then it also has a vast equipment list, so you get what you pay for. As a product, the i20 takes a step up, especially in the areas of space, comfort and driving manners. The 120hp 1.0 turbo-petrol DCT has its appeal in the N Line models, too, though more as an upmarket hatchback with a fun side, rather than as an all-out sporty hatchback. Those on a budget still have the option of the 83hp 1.2 petrol, which apart from a manual, is also available with a CVT auto (where it makes 88hp). Whether buyers will see the new i20 as a no-compromise premium hatchback or find their money better spent on a like-priced compact SUV will eventually determine if the latest i20 can build on the success of its predecessor, and the broad direction of the segment as a whole.
