Rejuvenate

The Hyundai i20 takes us on a revitalising roadtrip through the monsoon bloom of the Western Ghats
Rejuvenate

Its been tough, the last few months. But almost serendipitously, just as we seem safe enough to head back into the world again, very cautiously, the monsoons have swept through the country. So to celebrate this, we thought atleast a short road trip was in order. With a competent car like the Hyundai i20 for company and the almost overnight transformation from grassy brown to lush green of the Sahyadri hills complete, there really was no stopping us.

If you live anywhere around the Mumbai-Pune region, you’ll know how easy it is to leave the very unique bustle of these two cities behind. A couple of hours is all it takes to get to a place like the backwaters of the Pawna lake we visited. A hop, skip and jump through Mumbai traffic and the expressway felt just that with the Hyundai i20’s plush yet edgy cabin while its potent turbo-petrol and DCT drivetrain meant the entire journey was just about effortless, the car quiet and efficient but still potent when you wanted it to be. The large screen with inbuilt navigation and Android Auto/ AppleCarplay, and the many creature comforts, meant exploring these hills was as breezy as the weather outside.
