Hyundai i10 (2020-present) 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 (2020-present) is a supermini that delivers everything you need from an everyday runabout in a compact and affordable package. This generation features smart styling, particularly with optional two-tone paint, and benefits from Hyundai's excellent five-year unlimited mileage warranty and breakdown cover. The interior is well thought-out with a high-mounted touchscreen infotainment system, supportive seats, and good visibility. Despite its small exterior dimensions, the i10 offers surprising practicality with five-door bodywork, ample rear legroom for two six-footers, and a 252-litre boot that expands to 1,050 litres with the 60/40 split-fold rear seats lowered.

On the road, the i10 strikes an impressive balance between comfort and composure, dismissing potholes whilst remaining well-behaved through country roads. The light steering makes town driving effortless, whilst the small turning circle enhances manoeuvrability. Engine options include a 1.0-litre MPi, 1.2-litre MPi, and a 99bhp turbocharged 1.0-litre T-GDi available in the N Line trim. Fuel economy is excellent, with the 1.2-litre manual returning 55.4mpg. Insurance groups range from 3 to 10, keeping premiums affordable. With a service every 10,000 miles or annually, running costs remain low. The i10 represents outstanding value as a used purchase, combining reliability, practicality, and peace of mind.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, economical, and reliable city car; families needing a compact runabout; and those valuing warranty coverage and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising three-door bodywork, those wanting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on entry-level models, or buyers seeking sportier handling comparable to a Seat Ibiza.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i10 if: You're budget-conscious and seeking a practical, economical, and reliable city car; you need a compact runabout for family use; or you value warranty coverage and low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You require a three-door bodywork option, want Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on entry-level models, or prioritise sportier handling comparable to a Seat Ibiza.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i10 (2020-present) is one of the best small cars available, setting a benchmark for others to follow. It combines smart design, excellent practicality, and impressive economy with genuine comfort and reliability. Whilst the Toyota Aygo X offers more deals, the i10 delivers superior expert ratings and a more balanced overall package. The Kia Picanto is a worthy alternative, but the i10's five-year warranty and comprehensive equipment make it the standout choice for used buyers seeking peace of mind alongside affordability and practicality.
