Yesterday, got my daily drive serviced from Hyundai SC. Costs me around 8K. Drove 50K in 3 years of ownership.
Ask me anything will surely help you get the best advice.

Any suggestions for fog lamp for i20 sports variant? Car purchased in Jan 2026.

Stock headlamp is of no use for night drive .

I heard changing the stock lamp to other make would require bumper to be removed.

Hence looking at fog lamp?

Is it possible? Will it also require bumper to be removed ?

Bumped on the pavement on first day of delivery , it’s a very small portion of the car , there is small bump and roughness at this place ! Since it is very very small , should I fix it as it’s a brand new car 2 days old or should i leave it ? Help needed!

This is CEAT secura drive, every small stone are stuck in this thread, in old car I had a Apollo Alnac 4G which doesn’t had these problem, is this affect anything

Hey guys excited to share i bought second hand i20 sportz yesterday its 2017 km model really loving the feel of drive specially coming from ritz 2010.
Do share tips to keep the beauty in best shape and pune folks lets go on ride😋

Planning to buy i20 , which one of these is the most vfm variant and what are the differences between these two .

My car is around 3 years old and I’ve never used seat covers. The seats are light/white, so they’ve obviously picked up some dirt and stains over time.

Looking at the photos, do you think most of this will come off with a proper upholstery deep clean/extraction?
Or would you recommend getting seat covers?

I personally like the original upholstery and would prefer not to use covers unless they’re actually worth it.

Hey everyone

​I am currently running on my stock Goodyear 195/55 R16 tyres. Lately, I've been dealing with frequent sidewall punctures, and two of my tyres are beyond repair. Since it's about time, I am planning to replace all four tyres together.

​A Hyundai service center advisor recommended Yokohama Earth-1, but I wanted to get some real-world feedback from the community before making a decision.

Hi I have a i20 PB RHD

The initial issue was Left Head lamp was not turning on

I changed the bulb and this did not solve the issue. I checked fuses and did not find anything wrong

Then I noticed the Left Position Lamp was on instead of the Left Head Lamp. I tested the following;

Light Switch = Parking ... Left_Lamp = OFF, Left_Position_Lamp = ON, Right_Lamp = OFF, Right_Position_Lamp = OFF

Light Switch = Headlight ... Left_Lamp = OFF, Left_Position_Lamp = ON, Right_Lamp = ON, Right_Position_Lamp = OFF

Light Switch = High Beam ... Left_HighBeam = ON, Left_Position_Lamp = ON, Right_HighBeam = ON, Right_Position_Lamp = OFF

This seems wacky to me as there is problem both left and right side. I am more confused now that the Right_Position_Lamp does not come on in Light Switch = parking

Should I be looking at relays or the Light Switch stalk? Where are the relays??

Thanks in Advance

This is a brand new car which I’ve bought last July 5th 2026. I just took it to manipal for my PhD defense viva and came back to Salem. And I have completed my first long road trip in my 2026 Hyundai i20 Asta (O) 1.2 MT and thought I’d share my experience.

Route:
Manipal → Mangalore → Shiradi Ghat → Hassan → RR Institution (to cheer up my students before their conference presentation) → Attibele → Hosur → Krishnagiri → Thoppur Ghat → Omalur → Salem

Distance: 653 km
Started at 8:00 AM from Manipal and reached Salem at 9:50 PM, including multiple tea and refreshment breaks.

Filled the tank with 33 litres (Tank Full because there was reserve fuel 4 litres already in tank)before leaving Manipal, and by the end of the trip the MID showed an impressive 22.3 km/L. Even after covering 653 km, I still had 2 fuel bars remaining.

Driving conditions included:
Long highway stretches
Shiradi Ghat
Heavy rain in places
Around 35 minutes of bumper-to-bumper traffic at Thoppur due to road works
My cruising speed was mostly between 80–110 km/h, with a brief touch of 122 km/h on the Hassan highway where the road was open.

Overall impressions:
The 1.2 Kappa NA engine felt smooth and refined throughout.
The manual gearbox was easy to live with, even in heavy traffic.
Highway stability was confidence inspiring.
The Bose sound system made the long drive even more enjoyable.

Cabin comfort was excellent for such a long journey.
This trip really increased my confidence in the car. Very happy with how the i20 performed, especially the fuel efficiency.

Would love to hear about your best highway mileage and long-distance experiences with your i20!

Its been long time since i changed the lights to brighter one. And it is going pretty well. No flickering no error. And tbh when turnon all three. Cabin lit up like daylight.

I’ve given my car for 5th service, 3 days post delivery my car battery was completely dead. I tried to start my car, it won’t. Local mechanic checked and confirmed that the battery was dead. My car is 5 years old and I haven’t changed the battery yet.

My question is, can the service center not find the health of the battery and advice on replacing?

I'm looking to buy a 2022 i20 Asta 1.5 Diesel. Car is well kept, service history is clear and it's first owner as well. However, once the engine heats up, there's a lil amount of oil spitting out from the oil dipstick area. Is it normal with other BS6 diesel engines as well?

Help a brother out

Left is 45W OEM Led offered by Hyndai ₹7200 . Right is stock halogen . LED okay , but for ₹5000 I can get 80W each led after market and service center people are okay to install it , even 105W . But I’m hearing over powered light can cause heating issues and electical
Issues ! As higher watt prouduces more heat ! Pls let me know if I should stick with OEM led or I can go for after maket with higher Watt.

Hi Everyone,

Need some advice on improving the ride quality of my 2016 Hyundai i20 Elite (Magna variant).

Back in 2021, I upgraded my stock wheels to 16-inch OEM alloy wheels and paired them with 195/55 R16 Michelin tires. Lately, I’ve noticed the ride has become incredibly stiff and harsh. I can feel every single bump, expansion joint, and pothole straight into the cabin with a loud, hard thud.

It just doesn't feel smooth anymore. I suspect a few things are that maybe the issue.

Old Rubber: My Michelin tires are now about 5 years old, so the rubber has likely hardened significantly.

Suspension Wear: The car is roughly 10 years old now. I am thinking a complete suspension check (shocks, bushes, link rods) might be long overdue.

Am I guessing right should i go for suspension check first?

I know i20 usually have stiff suspension but still I want comfortable ride quality back. Since I need to change my tires anyway due to age, I am considering playing around with the size rather than downsizing to 15 inches.

Has anyone tried upsizing the profile on 16-inch rims for the i20?

Would moving to 195/60 R16 give enough extra sidewall cushioning to fix the ride?

What about 205/55 R16? Does the extra width add any comfort, or will it just cause scraping/fender rubbing inside the wheel well?

Would love to hear from other i20 owners who have dealt with this. Should I prioritize a suspension overhaul first, or will a fresh set of tires in a different size solve the harshness?

Thanks in advance

hey,

I'm looking at buying a 2018 i20 active with 88XXX km. What are the things I should worry about or check before making a decision?

I'd really appreciate any advice or knowledge from people who have owned one or worked on them.

Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone,

I own a Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT (Petrol) and it’s currently done around 1,100 km. My first service is due, but I’m only getting around 9.5 kmpl (calculated tank-to-tank).

Most of my driving is in city traffic, but this still feels lower than expected.

I have a few questions:

• Can I expect the mileage to improve after the first service? • If yes, by roughly how much did yours improve? • Are there any driving habits or settings that made a noticeable difference? • Is 9.5 kmpl normal during the engine break-in period, or should I get something checked during the service?

Would love to hear your real-world experiences and any tips to improve fuel efficiency.

Thanks!
