Auto Express Car Reviews Rating: On the road price: £8,340 - £9,180 For : Well equipped, neat interior, fun to drive, cheap Against : Thrashy engine, awkward styling It might not look it, but the i10 is a city car that can rival the best in the class. Solidly built, well equipped and good to drive it represents a big step forward for Hyundai.Styling/Image The little i10 replaces the drab Amica in the Korean firm’s line-up. While the new car lacks the cute looks of Fiat Panda, it has at least been styled with European tastes in mind. Buyers have a choice of Classic, Comfort and Style trim levels, with all versions getting alloy wheels and body coloured bumpers. Pick the range topping Style and a roof-mounted spoiler features at the rear.Interior/Practicality Like the exterior, the cabin lacks the visual flair of some rivals. However, it makes up for this with lots of equipment and decent versatility. There’s plenty of space inside, with enough legroom in the rear for adults to sit comfortably, while a split/fold rear bench is standard. All models get central locking, air-conditioning, side airbags, and an MP3 compatible CD player. Comfort trim adds keyless entry, while Style also includes heated front seats, electric sunroof and 15-inch alloy wheels.Engine/Performance Only two petrol engines are available – a 65bhp 1.1-litre and a 77bhp 1.2-litre. Both units are fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox, although a four-ratio automatic transmission is optional on the larger unit. Performance from both units is only adequate, with the small engine taking 15.6 seconds to sprint from zero to 60mph. The engines can also get thrashy and intrusive when extended. On the plus side, fuel returns should be strong, with both motors capable of at least 55mpg.Driving experienceOn the road, the Hyundai is surprisingly good fun. A good driving position allows you to exploit the well weighted and responsive steering, progressive brakes and smooth gearshift. In the city, great all-round visibility and responsive controls make placing the car easy. And while it’s not powerful, the i10 is capable of holding its own in fast flowing traffic and it’s comfortable and refined over long distances.Ownership CostsThanks to its class-leading levels of standard kit, five-year warranty and low starting price, the i10 makes a tempting proposition in the showroom. Better still it’ll return 55mpg, while most versions emit just 119g/km of CO2, meaning your annual tax bill should be just £35. On the other hand, chose the automatic gearbox and fuel economy takes a hit and CO2 emissions increase, taking it into the more expensive VED Band C.Safety/EnvironmentThe Hyundai has four airbags, height adjustable front seatbelts and three headrests as standard on the rear bench. As a result, the i10 notched up a respectable four-star result when tested by EuroNCAP. Most models emit just 119g/km of CO2, while a hydrogen-powered i10 is in development that produces just 65g/km. There’s also a gutsy and refined 1.1-litre diesel engine available in other markets, although company bosses have yet to decide whether it’ll come to the UK.Our Choice: i10 Comfort 1.1-litre For an alternative review of the latest Hyundai i10 visit our sister site carbuyer.co.uk What Next COMPARE CAR LOANS COMPARE CAR INSURANCE For more breaking car news and reviews, subscribe to Auto Express magazine.

April 2008 While Kia has made a big impact with its Cee’d and Pro_cee'd, parent company Hyundai hasn’t been able to attract the same level of interest among UK buyers with its small cars. Take the i10’s predecessor, the Amica: it’s not a particularly common sight on our roads, unlike Kia’s Picanto.Hyundai has already signalled its intention to change this by introducing a new naming system. We’ve been impressed by the Ford Focus-rivalling i30 (Issue 975), while the manual i10 claimed victory in its first UK test shoot-out, against the Fiat Panda (Issue 1,003). But can the auto take centre stage when facing two newer competitors?From the front, there are clear similarities between the city car and its hatchback big brother, while the clean rear with its neat tail-lights provides a modern appearance. Yet the car doesn’t look so attractive in profile. Despite Hyundai’s attempts to give it a dynamic stance, thanks to that upswept waistline, it still appears tall, which only highlights how small the wheels are. The i10 is far less athletic than rivals.Don’t be deceived by the low price, though – this is no bargain basement offering. The car is as solidly put together as the Suzuki or Vauxhall. So although it’s basic, it doesn’t feel cheap. The dash is modern, the instrument dials clear and the controls well laid out. We especially like the intuitive stereo, which comes complete with an auxiliary input for MP3 players.So it’s a shame that the steering wheel – an important first point of contact – is made of such rough plastic. Had Hyundai spent some money here, it would have made a huge difference. Still, the boot is generously proportioned – with an identical 225-litre capacity to the Splash and Agila – and has a storage tray under the floor.On the road, the car is superbly manoeuvrable, thanks to a tight turning circle and good all-round visibility. The revised 1.1-litre petrol engine is another strong point. It’s impressed us before, although that was with a manual gearbox. The automatic fitted to our test car severely hampers progress and saps what little power the i10 has.The model delivers only 65bhp, and you’ll find it spends a lot of time at the top end of the rev counter, where it feels strained and noisy. While the auto is smooth enough between changes, it has a sudden action when trying to manoeuvre at slow speeds, making parking tricky. At the test track, it recorded a leisurely 19.2-second time for the 0-60mph sprint – more than six seconds slower than rivals. Opting for the manual brings this down to a more respectable 13.3 seconds.Still, despite the limited pace, the i10 handles well, due to its responsive steering and decent grip, even with narrow tyres. Body control is better than in the Splash and Agila, but the ride isn’t as forgiving over potholes. On uneven city roads it doesn’t insulate bumps as well as its rivals, and can be a little crashy. Yet it’s just as stable on the motorway, where it’s a comfortable cruiser.The i10’s biggest selling point is its price. At £7,900, it’s by far the cheapest choice here – and that’s with the auto box. Choose the manual and the figure drops to £7,095 – a bargain for such a capable city car, especially when it gets air-con, electric windows all-round and alloys. Then again, it has only four airbags, there’s no trip computer and stability control isn’t an option. That could harm the Hyundai’s chances in this company.

We’ve already tested the manual i10. Here we find out if the auto is an equally strong package. AT A GLANCE: The i10 is a sound choice. It’s very comfortable and has good rear passenger space, while the five-year warranty gives peace of mind. We’d just avoid the auto, as it saps power from the 1.1-litre engine. SCORES Styling/image: Interior/quality: Engine/performance: Driving experience: Ownership costs: Green rating: ECONOMY In terms of pace and driver fun, the auto box does the i10 no favours. And it hampers economy as well. Our car averaged 37.4mpg – 5mpg less than the manual version. It was the thirstiest car here, although only 2mpg behind the Suzuki. RESIDUALS Expect the Hyundai to be the strongest residual performer of this trio, thanks to its low price. Our figures are based on the outgoing Amica, which holds to a superb 44.5 per cent. If it matches this, over three years the i10 will lose £4,384. SERVICING Servicing costs for the i10 are slightly higher than for the Splash, at £668. But Hyundai’s UK dealers treat you better. The network was 7th in Driver Power 2007. Adding to the appeal is the five-year unlimited mileage warranty. TAX Opt for the auto box in the i10, and it pushes CO2 output up 20g/km, to 139g/km. But this makes no difference to company car tax. In fact, the Hyundai works out as the cheapest to run due to its price – lower-band owners pay £261 a year. Verdict Thin A-pillars ensure excellent forward visibility. The i10 also gets alloys, plus colour-coded door handles and mirrors. The gearbox is adequate around town, but joining dual carriageways or motorways can be a daunting experience.
