Q. I'am confused between Asta i20 IVT vs Asta i20 DCT turbo engine and are automatic transmission high maintenance and do they get worn out fast?

The i20 now feels like a grown up hatchback and not just in terms of the features, space and looks, but also the powertrains on offer. The 1.2-litre petrol CVT feels more apt for the city. Its refinement and power delivery won't let you complain while commuting, but leave a bit to be desired on the highways. If outright performance is not your priority and want refined engine with smooth ride quaity, you may go for Hyundai i20 Asta CVT. It would be easy for pocket to maintain as compared to DCT variant. On the other hand, the 1.0-litre turbo DCT petrol is exclusively for people who are looking for the thrill of a sporty engine and are ready to pay the premium for it. And while this engine is plenty fast, the driving manners of the i20 pull it back from being an outright fun enthusiast car. Do take a test drive in order to get better clarity.
