Hyundai i20 Mileage
₹6.00 Lakh to ₹11.64 Lakhex-showroom
Fuel economy on the i20 depends on the engine you pick. The 1.2 litre manual is rated at 16 kmpl. Oddly, the IVT automatic does better at 20 kmpl, since it keeps the revs low. The 1.0 litre turbo N Line also reads 20 kmpl on both its manual and DCT. City traffic, hard driving and constant AC will pull these below the ARAI figures. Not sure which suits you? Match each i20 trim to its engine first.

Mileage is how far the i20 travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.

Hyundai i20 mileage: common questions
Which i20 returns the best mileage?
The IVT automatic and the N Line turbo, both rated at 20 kmpl. The 1.2 litre manual trails them at 16 kmpl on the ARAI cycle.
Why does the i20 IVT beat the manual on fuel?
The IVT keeps the engine spinning in an efficient band and its state of tune is slightly different, so it edges past the manual.
What real mileage will the i20 give?
Somewhat below the rated numbers once traffic, load and air conditioning are added. Steady highway runs bring you closest to the ARAI figures.
