Hyundai i10 Hatchback (08 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 15 April 2011
The i10 is Hyundai's small five-door hatchback that's compact and easy to drive. In 2011 the car received a refresh with new front and rear lights, a revised grille and updated bumpers. Out goes the 1.1-litre engine and in comes a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol for the Blue eco variant. The cabin is modern and easy to get on with and there's also decent space with enough legroom in the back for two adults to travel in comfort. The engine line-up now comprises a 1.25-litre four-cylinder petrol and the three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol. The 1.25-litre is our choice - it offers nippy performance to go with the 61.4mpg economy. Along with a five-year warranty and low insurance groups, it means the i10 is very cheap to run.

Equipment

Power front windows, central locking and a CD player with MP3 compatibility are just a few of the unexpected items that come as standard on the entry-level Classic, and with colour-keyed bumpers, six-speaker stereo sound and electric power steering also included, there's nothing low rent about the cheapest version. Alloy wheels, power mirrors and front fog lamps identify the Comfort version, which also has a height-adjust driver's seat, power rear windows, remote locking, a handy underfloor luggage box in the boot and body-coloured door handles and mirrors. The range-topping Style boasts added luxuries like heated front seats, a power sunroof, larger wheels, a rear spoiler and a smart metal-grain interior trim. In 2009 a limited edition ES edition model went on sale. Based on the Classic it adds driver's seat height adjustment, remote control locking, front electric windows, coloured interior trim (on the seats, dashboard and doors) along with body-coloured bumpers and door handles. It's only available with the 1.1-litre engine.
