Hyundai i20 Hatchback 1.2 Classic 3dr

For This model costs hundreds less than the equivalent five-door, and the 1.2 is all the engine you need in the i20. And, even though Classic is the most basic trim, it still has the full safety spec.

Against This is a car you could happily live with, and there's not much wrong with it. Comfort trim misses some desirable kit.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

This is a fine entry-level version, and we think there's no need to buy a more powerful engine. Classic trim provides most of the kit you really need, too, but we prefer the extra practicality of the five-door version.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Of the various engines available in the i20, you're best off with the entry-level 77bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine. It feels very peppy for a small engine, and there's good flexibility, too. If you're after a gutsier petrol engine, you can also choose a 98bhp 1.4.

Entry-level Classic cars come with air-conditioning, remote central locking and electric front windows, and that’s enough for it to be our favourite Comfort spec adds alloys, electric rear windows, steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth and a cable to hook up your MP3 player, while Style models get luxuries such as half-leather seats, a leather steering wheel, front foglights and climate control.

For all that, though, one of the biggest attractions must be that the i20, like all Hyundais, comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
