Looking for something compact but don't want to compromise on space, style or technology?
Meet the Hyundai i20.
Sitting between the smaller i10 and Hyundai's crossover and SUV models, the i20 provides an appealing combination of easy manoeuvrability and genuine everyday practicality.
Its sporty exterior design gives it plenty of personality, while inside there's comfortable room for passengers, a generous boot and an impressive amount of connectivity and safety technology.
Whether you're buying your first car, downsizing or simply want a practical hatchback that isn't unnecessarily large, the i20 makes a lot of sense.
The Hyundai i20 certainly doesn't look like a basic small hatchback.
Its low roofline, long wheelbase and sculpted bodywork create a sporty profile, while distinctive front styling and sharp lighting give it a recognisable road presence.
At the rear, striking Z-shaped lighting provides another distinctive design feature.
Depending on specification, larger alloy wheels, LED lighting and contrasting exterior details give the i20 an even stronger appearance.
And if you'd like something sportier still, the N Line S adds styling inspired by Hyundai's performance-focused N models.
The Hyundai i20 keeps its current engine range refreshingly straightforward.
Its 1.0-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine produces 90PS, providing a useful balance between everyday performance and efficiency.
Depending on model, transmission choices include a 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
The manual is a great choice if you prefer changing gear yourself, while the 7-speed DCT provides the convenience of an automatic – particularly useful if much of your driving involves busy or stop-start traffic.
Compact hatchbacks need to be easy to park, but they also need to carry more than a couple of shopping bags.
Fortunately, the i20 manages both.
Its 352-litre boot provides impressive luggage capacity for a car of its size, with enough room for shopping, luggage and everyday family essentials.
Fold the rear seats when you need additional carrying capacity and there's considerably more space available for larger loads.
Five doors also make accessing the rear seats straightforward, helping the i20 work equally well as a small family car or everyday runaround.
Inside, the i20 combines a clean, modern dashboard with plenty of useful technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
The large central touchscreen keeps navigation, entertainment and connectivity within easy reach, while Bluelink® provides access to useful connected vehicle services.

If you're choosing between Hyundai's two smaller hatchbacks, size and practicality are likely to be the deciding factors.
The i10 is the smaller of the two and is particularly well suited to town driving, tight parking spaces and drivers who simply don't need much luggage capacity.
Move up to the i20 and you gain additional interior and luggage space while retaining compact dimensions that are easy to manage.
With its 352-litre boot, the i20 is particularly appealing if you regularly carry passengers, shopping or luggage but don't necessarily want to move up to a crossover or SUV.
One of the i20's biggest strengths is that it doesn't need to be bought for one particular reason. It's compact enough to make a great first car or everyday commuter. There's enough room to work as a small family car. The generous boot makes longer journeys perfectly practical. And its comfortable interior and manageable dimensions make it equally appealing to drivers looking to downsize from a larger vehicle. It's simply a very easy car to live with.
The Hyundai i20 offers an impressive selection of driver-assistance and safety technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems are designed to provide additional support during everyday driving, from busy town traffic to longer motorway journeys.
Every new Hyundai i20 comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
That provides valuable long-term reassurance whether the i20 is your first new car, your everyday family runaround or your choice for downsizing from something larger.
Stylish, compact and impressively practical, the Hyundai i20 offers considerably more than you might expect from a small hatchback.
With its 90PS turbocharged petrol engine, 352-litre boot, five-door practicality and advanced connectivity, it's equally comfortable tackling the daily commute, family duties or longer journeys.
