What does it cost?
For An awful lot of car for not much cash. The i10 is good to drive, cheap to run, well equipped and impressively spacious for a city car.
Against The eco-focused Blue model doesn’t make financial sense for those who live outside London, and there could be a wee bit more security kit provided.
What Car? says
The Hyundai i10 is one of the best city cars out there, and it’s also one of the cheapest to buy and run. It doesn’t get much better that that for buyers on a budget.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
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.

Hyundai i10 Hatchback 1.2 Classic 5dr
The Hyundai i10 1.2 Classic has price on its side, yet still comes with a decent amount of kit. That makes it our favourite version.
