Which Hyundai i20 variant should you buy?
There are 10 ways to buy a i20, across 7 trims, from ₹5.99L to ₹10.39L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Asta(O): ₹0.54L more than Asta, and it is the step that hands back the most kit for the money.
The ladder keeps paying to the end here: Asta(O) is both the last step up and the one that asks least per feature.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.
