For The range-topping Hyundai i10 1.2 Style adds a real hint of luxury to the little car, with standard kit including a rear spoiler, an electric sunroof and heated front seats.
Against By virtue of having the most expensive trim, this is the dearest model in the range - not very attractive on a supposedly budget car.
With so much equipment standard on the lower trim levels, we can't see the point in spending the extra on the Hyundai i10 1.2 Style.
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine in the Blue model grabs the headlines thanks to fuel economy of 67.8mpg and CO2 emissions of 99g/km – meaning zero road tax or congestion charge.
However, we reckon the four-cylinder 1.2 is a better bet. It’s more flexible, still returns 61.4mpg, and only costs £20 per year in road tax. Critically, it costs much less than the Blue, and you’ll have to drive well over 100,000 miles before the 1.0-litre engine’s superior fuel economy repays you.
Blue and Classic models have essentials like air-con, electric front windows, and a CD player with USB port. Indeed, the 1.2 Classic is our favourite. We’d understand if you went for Active, though - it adds remote locking, alloys and powered rear windows for just a few hundred quid. Range-topping Style cars come with loads of kit, but cost more than an i10 should.
Whichever version you buy, you’ll enjoy a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty with roadside assistance thrown in.
