Hyundai i10 (2014-2019) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very practical for such a small car	Not as fuel-efficient as some rivals
Well-deserved reputation for reliability	Bland styling
Well built and nicely finished	Not as much fun to drive as a Volkswagen Up

Quick Summary

The Hyundai i10 (2014-2019), known as the second-generation model, represents a significant step forward for the Korean city car. This five-door hatchback combines a compact exterior with a surprisingly spacious and well-appointed interior, featuring quality plastics and logical controls. With 252 litres of boot space and a split-fold rear seat offering up to 1,046 litres, it leads the city car competition for practicality. The grown-up suspension delivers a comfortable ride with direct steering, making it capable of handling both urban driving and longer journeys with ease.

The i10 comes with a choice of engines: a 66bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder for local duties or an 86bhp 1.2-litre petrol for better motorway performance. A mid-life refresh in 2017 introduced a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on Premium models, along with suspension tweaks for improved ride comfort. All models benefit from Hyundai's five-year factory warranty and timing chain engines that should last the car's lifetime. Running costs are reasonable, with menu servicing available at fixed prices through main dealers, though fuel economy and tax costs are slightly higher than some rivals.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, reliable, and well-built city car; families needing surprising interior space; and those valuing Hyundai's warranty and dependable reputation.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising maximum fuel efficiency, those seeking sporty handling comparable to a Volkswagen Up, or buyers who prefer distinctive styling over practicality.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i10 if: You're seeking a practical, reliable, and well-built city car on a budget; you need surprising interior space and practicality; or you value Hyundai's warranty and dependable reputation.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum fuel efficiency, desire sporty handling comparable to a Volkswagen Up, or prefer distinctive styling over practicality.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i10 (2014-2019) is an excellent choice in the used city car market, offering outstanding practicality, reliability, and build quality. Whilst the Skoda Citigo matches it for expert rating and the Kia Picanto scores higher with users, the i10 delivers superior interior space and a more grown-up driving experience. Its combination of spaciousness, well-finished interior, and Hyundai's reputation for dependability make it one of the best used city cars available. The only trade-off is slightly higher fuel and tax costs compared to some rivals, but this is offset by lower maintenance expenses and the security of the manufacturer's warranty.
