2013 Hyundai HB20 Finishing convenience and general
Overall, the driving position in 2013 Hyundai HB20 is comfortable , and the driver’s seat with height adjustment helps, but the adjustable steering column further enhances the position of the driver as well as the belts with adjustable.
The space is good for anyone who leads and the passenger front, but behind is reduced. Fully recessed, these seats do not allow a person 1.80 m sit back without taking the legs out to the sides. Remember that the platform of the 2013 Hyundai HB20 has 2.50 m wheelbase.
The wheel of the 2013 Hyundai HB20 has good grip and leather versions with better sensitivity. The audio commands are very useful. The controls for the power windows are well positioned in the door, but the control panel is in the mirrors, away from the hand of the driver, as well as the button on the computer, that could be the wiper lever.
The commands of the lever and the headlights are good, as well as the activation of the horn, but the sound is different than most rivals.
The audio system of 2013 Hyundai HB20 has well-defined commands and HVAC just below, are easy to operate. The magazine has connections audio system has retractable roof, as well as in more expensive cars.
There are also two cupholders in the center console – with the parking brake – and two space for small objects. At the gates of 2013 Hyundai HB20, there are bottle rack and objects, as well as finishing fabric good texture and hard plastics, this item also in competition and on a large scale.
The speakers have a modern finish, like air vents on the sides and front panels. The instrumentation Supervision Cluster 2013 Hyundai HB20 ensures optimal visualization of information. The audio system also has good visualization of information.
The glove box of 2013 Hyundai HB20 has good space (9.3 liters, according to Hyundai), but the driver still has a practical drawer below the seat and upholstery fabric. The item is important because the driver can hide documents or items of interest in this space, which can not be viewed from the outside and even with the door open.
On the roof, Hyundai installed a useful glass holder with the reading lights, but only in versions equipped. General lighting is in the center position. There are important safety handles and a strap hanger.
Behind, as has been said, the space is much smaller than expected in 2013 Hyundai HB20, but the central tunnel height was reduced, making it less complicated life who vai in half.
There are only two head restraints and seat bipartite Premium only. The trunk has 300 liters, but appears to have less. The steppe can be steel or alloy, depending on the version.
The finish is good overall, although there are of course many plastics. In terms of equipment, we are left with the desire of some useful items in 2013 Hyundai HB20, such as autopilot (especially in the automatic version), Bluetooth and third headrest, for example.
Anyway, the equipment package of 2013 Hyundai HB20 offers virtually the same items of competitors, although some of them quite sophisticated options for the segment, such as gear shift on the steering wheel (in automated versions).
2013 Hyundai HB20 Impressions while driving
One hot day / BA, which is located Comandatuba Island. In test drive sponsored by Hyundai, the versions were available with engines 1.0 12V, 1.6 16V and 1.6 16V automatic. All options were complete. The 1.0 engine delivers 80/75 hp (ethanol / gasoline) and 10.2 / 9.4 Nm, in the same order. But the 1.6 has 128/122 hp and 16.5 / 16.0 Nm, respectively.
We walked first in 2013 Hyundai HB20 1.6 manual. The (real) 128 hp seem well disposed hatch in South Korean, who rode very well on the road. At speeds of 100 km / h and 120 km / h, the pointer marked 2.800/3.300 rpm, respectively.
Shortly motor noise can be heard, since the proper phasing of gears ensures good performance. The resume also were very good. The lever has short travel and precise, ensuring greater safety and smoothness in the changes in exchanges. The reverse is engaged and has lock forward.
The noise increased during the course of the test drive – road with regular asphalt – tire came, followed by turbulence and engine when required too, generally from 4,000 rpm. The steering is quite light in maneuvers, but also in speed.
The brakes worked very well – equipped with ABS / EDB – ensuring safe braking and no major concerns. Stability is good, as the adjustment of the suspension, although with current median.
For day to day, the system absorbs well irregularities. The adjustment in 2013 Hyundai HB20 was good to be able to face the harshness of our roads. The automaker says in a 1.356 million km run, with only 560,000 km in Brazil.
The front and side visibility is good, as are the mirrors. It is only reasonable back. In maneuvers, parking sensor helps. The internal environment proved pleasant trip without driver fatigue because of drivability.
In the automatic version of the 2013 Hyundai HB20 1.6, we see a good fit Transmission, which has only four speeds. Although clearly slower than the manual, the answers were as expected and at speeds of 100/120 km / h, the needle dug into 2.600/3.200 rpm, so by letting the motor run better on cruise.
However, the automatic transmission requires much of the 1.6 16V Hyundai, raising enough noise because of the high speeds required for reductions or resumed. Missed a cruise control to let the driver even more relaxed despite the armrest.
Finally, the 2013 Hyundai HB20 1.0 surprised – but not the performance – in terms of engine noise. Only the slight shake at idle, barely noticeable inside the car, and his 3-cylinder 12V 80 hp (gasoline drops to 75 hp) work well and smoothly.
Command with VVT (range opening valves), it guarantees a certain cleverness of Hyundai HB20 1.0, especially above 3,000 rpm. Below that, he is lazy.
In resume, it becomes even clearer the enormous distance of 48 hp between the two versions of the hatch. At speeds of 100/120 km / h, the 2013 Hyundai HB20 registered 1.0 3.400/4.100 rpm, respectively, showing that their day to day is geared for urban use.
On the road, you need to reduce speed and more easily reach peaks of over 5,000 rpm for a safer response in overtaking.
Unfortunately, the average overall consumption could not be obtained accurately, then just when assessing the 2013 Hyundai HB20 for a longer period.
Hyundai also said that the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is done in 9.3 / 9.7 seconds (1.6 manual), 11.0 / 11.4 (1.6 auto) and 14.9 / 15.9 in 1.0, all being respectively with ethanol and gasoline.
The maximum speed is 188/184 km / h in 1.6, 176/174 km / h in 1.6 automatic and 160/157 km / h in 1.0 manual. Anyway, these are the official figures for the 2013 Hyundai HB20.
For us, the overall impression was positive at the wheel. Going forward, the HB20 still must suffer some more tweaking for assessing clients, which is natural in the automotive industry.
We had a good impression of 2013 Hyundai HB20, but now will be the consumer who will tell whether or not he should be in your garage, and if that is indeed desired option compared to traditional brands.
Next week, another Asian and comes with the promise of cost-benefit, coupled with the quality image of the brand. Further, we have the reaction of one of the big four, which is already showing his weapon parts “auto”, which has targeted “connected” in old and new rivals.
