Hyundai i10 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very practical for such a small car	Entry-level cars lack Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
Economical and well equipped	No three-door version available
Generous five-year unlimited mileage warranty	Not as much fun to drive as a Seat Ibiza

Quick Summary

The Hyundai i10 (2020-present) is a smart, compact supermini that delivers exceptional practicality for its size. Despite its diminutive exterior, it offers surprising interior space with comfortable seating for five, a 252-litre boot expandable to 1,050 litres with the rear seats folded, and thoughtful storage solutions throughout. The well-designed dashboard features an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and higher trims include wireless phone charging and heated seats. Available exclusively as a five-door, it combines excellent visibility, supportive seats, and a comfortable driving position to create a genuinely usable everyday runabout.

On the road, the i10 strikes an impressive balance between comfort and composure, dismissing potholes whilst remaining well-behaved through corners. The light steering makes town driving effortless, whilst the precise inputs inspire confidence on country roads. Choose from three petrol engines: the entry-level 1.0-litre MPi, the more flexible 1.2-litre MPi, or the punchy 99bhp turbocharged 1.0-litre T-GDi available in the N Line trim. Fuel economy is excellent across the range, with the 1.0-litre manual returning 56.5mpg and the 1.2-litre achieving 55.4mpg. Backed by Hyundai's excellent five-year unlimited mileage warranty and breakdown cover, the i10 represents outstanding value as both a new and used purchase.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, economical, and well-equipped city car; families needing a hassle-free runabout; and those prioritising reliability and peace of mind with comprehensive warranty coverage.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting a three-door option, those seeking sportier handling dynamics, or buyers requiring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on entry-level models.
