Hyundai ix20 (2010-2019) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Low running costs	Bland to drive
Lots of standard equipment	No sliding rear doors
Solid reliability record	A Citroen C3 Picasso has more space

Quick Summary

The Hyundai ix20 (2010-2019) is a mini MPV built on a supermini platform, offering surprising spaciousness despite its small footprint thanks to its tall body and clever interior packaging. Launched in 2010, it enjoyed a nine-year production run with only a subtle facelift in 2015. It excels in practicality and versatility, featuring a comfortable driving position, airy cabin, and rear seats that recline or slide for enhanced comfort or increased boot space. The boot holds an impressive 440 litres, expanding to 1,486 litres with the rear seats folded, and includes a shallow underfloor storage tray.

On the road, the ix20 prioritises comfort with a soft suspension that effectively soaks up bumps, though this means it leans more in corners. Engine options, including 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre petrols and diesels, are geared towards economy rather than speed, providing adequate performance for urban and motorway driving without excessive noise. Running costs are low, particularly for the economical diesel engines, and insurance is rated cheaply. Hyundai generously equipped the ix20, with even entry-level models featuring air-conditioning and electric windows, and higher trims adding Bluetooth, parking sensors, and satellite navigation. It also boasts a solid reliability record.

Best for: Families needing space and practicality in a small footprint, drivers prioritising comfort, low running costs, and generous standard equipment, and buyers seeking a reliable used car.

Not ideal for: Drivers looking for an exciting or sporty driving experience, those who prefer sliding rear doors, or buyers needing the absolute maximum rear space.

While it may not be as enjoyable to drive as a Ford B-Max or as ultimately spacious as a Citroen C3 Picasso, its generous equipment levels and comfortable ride make it a solid choice for families or those needing versatility on a budget. It's a sensible, well-built used car.
