Hyundai i20 Hatchback (09 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 19 October 2010
The i20 is Hyundai's replacement for the Getz - previosuly its most popular model in the UK. It's a huge step forward from the car it replaces. This is a small hatchback from Hyundai that's good enough to be a realistic alternative to models like the Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris. It's neatly styled and robustly built too with a solid and well laid out interior while refinement is excellent - all the engines are smooth and the i20 cruises quietly on the motorway. Two new engines feature - a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.4-litre diesel - while the handling is impressive and the ride composed. Add in generous equipment levels, even on base-level cars, a five-year warranty plus low running costs and the i20 looks a great package.

Equipment

The i20 is good value for money and all cars come well equipped. The entry-level model is the Classic which gets air conditioning, power steering, six airbags, remote central locking, electric front windows and a CD stereo with an aux-in socket. The Comfort trim adds electric windows in the back, an iPod and USB connector, steering-wheel mounted stereo controls, alloy wheels, electrically adjustable door mirrors and a trip computer. The top of the range Style comes with climate control, half-leather seats, a leather steering wheel and gear lever plus front fog lights.
