Hyundai i20 Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Well equipped, even if you choose the entry-level car	Patchy standard of interior finish
Easy-to-use touchscreen infotainment	Not the cheapest to buy
Solid reliability and a long warranty	Fuel economy is unspectacular

Quick Summary

The third-generation Hyundai i20 has evolved from a perfectly worthy but unremarkable supermini into a more distinctive car with sharp exterior lines and real kerb appeal. While previous models were known for reliability and affordability, this latest i20 is no longer a budget option, pitching its starting price above many rivals. It offers a generous 352 litres of boot space and a practical five-door-only layout with ample room for four adults, though some interior plastics can feel a bit hard.

Under the bonnet, the i20 features a peppy 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine producing 99bhp, which is willing and efficient, achieving around 45mpg in real-world driving. Its generous equipment, including a class-leading 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, helps justify its higher price point. However, despite its solid reliability and five-year unlimited mileage warranty, its list price and unspectacular fuel economy mean it doesn't always offer the best value compared to some rivals.

Best for: Buyers looking for a reliable, safe, and practical small car with excellent standard equipment, a class-leading infotainment system, and the reassurance of a five-year unlimited mileage warranty.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget, those prioritising class-leading fuel efficiency, or those seeking the finest driving dynamics and interior material quality found in some rivals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i20 if: You're looking for a reliable, safe, and practical small car with excellent standard equipment, a class-leading infotainment system, and the reassurance of a five-year unlimited mileage warranty.

Consider alternatives if: You are on a strict budget, prioritise class-leading fuel efficiency, or seek the finest driving dynamics and interior material quality found in some rivals.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i20 is a strong contender in the supermini segment, standing out with its distinctive design, generous standard features, and a highly praised infotainment system. While it offers solid practicality and a comfortable, grown-up feel on motorways, its higher price point and middle-of-the-road fuel economy mean it faces stiff competition. It provides a compelling package for those valuing modern tech and reliability over outright affordability or ultimate driving engagement.
