Hyundai i20 Active vs Fiat Avventura vs Hyundai Elite i20

The recently launched Hyundai i20 Active is a direct competition to the Fiat Avventura. The Volkswagen Cross Polo and the Toyota Etios Cross have the same ground clearance and the features of the sibling hatchback, hence we decided to compare it with the Fiat Avventura. The i20 Active has a ground clearance of 190mm, while the Fiat Avventura is further raised to 210mm. Apart from the cladding, the Fiat Avventura even gets a spare wheel mounted on the tail gate (on a separate frame). So, in terms of styling the Fiat Avventura looks more like an SUV, however the i20 Active stands out because of its LEDs and projector lamps. All the four crossovers have body cladding and there are roof rails too.

The interiors of the i20 Active are same like the Elite i20, expect for the colour trims. The Elite i20 gets black and beige, while the i20 Active comes with black and orange or blue, depending on what you pick. The Avventura gets tilt meters and compass for direction. In terms of features, the i20 Active and Elite i20 get the same set of features and these are more than the Avventura. It gets reverse parking camera, Bluetooth audio streaming, 1GB of internal storage, push start and stop and keyless entry. These features go missing on the Fiat Avventura, Volkswagen CrossPolo and the Toyota Etios Cross.

The power produced by the petrol and diesel engines is more on paper for the Fiat Avventura, but the i20 Active has better drivability over others when we consider both petrol and diesel. The i20 Active is easier to drive in city traffic and even on the highways it works well. The Elite i20 engines are a bit sluggish and need to be revved hard to extract the best performance. The i20s come mated to a six-speed manual in diesel, while the rest come with a five-speed manual.
