What features does the Hyundai i20 have?

The i20’s interior has changed drastically, even just in the past few years. It's gone from being somewhat plain to featuring an even cleaner and updated look and feel. 

Newer entry-level SE Connect models have standard features such as cruise control, air-conditioning, an eight-inch touchscreen, a reversing camera camera and parking sensors.   

Upgraded Premium and Ultimate models get luxuries such as heated seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, keyless entry start, smartphone wireless charging options, a larger 10-inch display and a premium Bose sound system.   

In terms of occupants' comfort, the inside is spacious enough to seat four adults comfortably for both knee room and headroom – something that's quite rare with superminis.   

The boot is 352 litres and is therefore one of the largest in its class, with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta getting just 292 litres in comparison.

Is the Hyundai i20 reliable?

Being a Hyundai, you’d expect the used Hyundai i20 to be reliable – and it is. Thanks to the brand’s standard five-year/unlimited mileage warranty providing the highest levels of customer reassurance, there's no reason why you should be concerned.  

How much does the Hyundai i20 cost to run?

A used Hyundai i20 is also among the most affordable cars to insure, making ownership costs over the length of a year more manageable.

Every Hyundai i20 for sale comes with stacks of appeal – it’s a car that’s just as suitable for first-time buyers as it is for small families.

It’s efficient, comfortable and spacious, making it a great all-rounder.
