Comprehensive Guide to Buying a Hyundai I10 in the UK

Hyundai i10 (2010-2013)

The Hyundai i10 built between 2010 to 2013 is an economical city car that offers plentiful interior space. It gained popularity due to its affordability and superior warranty compared to competitors.

Pros

  • Good fuel economy: Whether diesel or petrol, it provides good mileage.
  • Generous warranty: Hyundai's five-year warranty far outlasts most other manufactures.
  • Neat interior: The i10 offers neat and functional interior design, which is fairly spacious too.

Cons

  • Body roll: On twistier roads, the i10 will feel somewhat unsteady.
  • Low safety score: In the Euro NCAP safety tests, it only achieved 4 out of 5 stars.

Buying used

Check for wear and tear on the interior, specifically on the seats and dashboard. Examine the body for signs of damage, rust or repair work. Request service history to ensure regular maintenance was carried out.

Hyundai i10 (2014-2019)

The second-generation i10 came with updated styling and improved interior quality. It was considered one of the best city cars on the market during its production years.

Pros

  • Improved cabin quality: Hyundai stepped up the interior quality, making the i10 feel more premium.
  • Refined engines: The engines offer more power and refinement but still return good fuel economy.
  • Better handling: This generation handled better than the previous one, providing a more refined drive.

Cons

  • Infotainment system: The infotainment system was deemed clunky and dated even when new.
  • Slightly expensive: It was slightly more expensive than competitors such as Skoda Citigo.

Buying used

Again, check for signs of interior wear and tear, especially on the high-touch areas. Ensure the infotainment system is functioning properly. Service history is vital to verify the vehicle was maintained appropriately.
