Hyundai i10 Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very practical for such a small car	Entry-level cars don't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
Economical and well equipped	No three-door version
Generous warranty	Not as much fun to drive as a Seat Ibiza

Quick Summary

The Hyundai i10, released in 2020, is Hyundai's smallest car, a supermini designed for everyday use. It's praised for its smart styling, especially with optional two-tone paint. In a shrinking city car market, the i10 stands out as one of the best, backed by Hyundai's excellent five-year unlimited mileage warranty. Despite its compact exterior, it offers surprising practicality with a versatile five-door bodystyle, ample space for four adults (even two six-footers in the back), good visibility, and a 252-litre boot.

On the road, the i10 impressively balances comfort and composure, handling potholes with ease and feeling secure on country roads, which is rare for its price point. Its small turning circle and light steering make it ideal for city driving. While the 1.0-litre MPi engine is suitable for urban use, the 1.2-litre MPi is recommended for more versatility, and the turbocharged 1.0-litre T-GDi in the N Line offers surprising performance. Running costs are low, with frugal petrol engines (up to 56.5mpg), low insurance groups (3-10), and reasonable service costs, making it an economical and reliable choice.

Best for: Drivers seeking an affordable, practical, and economical city car with a generous warranty; those needing a reliable everyday runabout; buyers prioritising comfort and ease of driving in urban environments.

Not ideal for: Buyers who want Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on entry-level models; those looking for a three-door car; drivers prioritising thrilling dynamics over comfort.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i10 if: You're on a budget, seeking a sensible, practical, and economical city car with a generous warranty, or need a reliable everyday runabout suitable for urban driving.

Consider alternatives if: You want Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on entry-level models, are looking for a three-door car, or prioritise a more thrilling driving experience over comfort.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i10 stands out as a benchmark in the shrinking city car segment, offering an exceptional blend of practicality, economy, and comfort for its price point. While some rivals might offer a sportier drive or more standard tech on base models, the i10's robust build, generous five-year warranty, and low running costs make it an incredibly sensible and highly recommended choice for budget-conscious buyers and urban commuters.
