Hyundai i20 Hatchback 1.4 Comfort 3dr

For The 1.4 gives noticeably gutsier performance than the 1.2-litre petrol unit - for just a few hundred pounds more.

Against What the three-door gains over the five-door through a lower price, it loses with less practicality. Compared to the 1.2, the 1.4 does about 4mpg less, as well as costing more to insure.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

We reckon this is the best package of equipment in the i20, but we think the 1.4 engine is an unnecessary expense. The 1.2 is cheaper to buy and run and does as good a job.

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, but we'd recommend stepping up to Comfort spec – you'll get masses of kit, including alloys, electric rear windows, steering wheel-mounted controls and a cable to hook up your MP3 player.

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.
