These Two Have Been Toying With Each Other From the Go. This Isn't Over

The Hyundai Elite i20’s always been one of the good ones. Since it got here, it’s been hard to ignore it when you’re out shopping for a premium hatch. And why not? It’s got so much going for it. It’s good looking, sharp, spacious, comfortable and a lot more. Couple all that with the fact that it’s priced pretty well and the fact that you get Hyundai’s enviable backup for the rest of your term with the car, and it’s almost a no-brainer for the i20. And now, to keep things interesting, there’s a new one out that got launched at the recently concluded Auto Expo, and I do believe that the changes it’s made to the car are worth looking in to. Seems like that’s a pretty convincing argument, isn’t it?

Well, not if Maruti Suzuki has anything to say about it, and for the longest time, it’s been making its voice heard. You see, what I forgot to mention earlier was that while the i20 did well, it always had the Swift to contend with, and if you know anything about the latter, you’d know that the i20 was always facing an uphill task. And now, there’s a new Swift in town to make things a little harder for you to decide where your money should go.

The Long Way Around
