For The 1.4 gives noticeably gutsier performance than the 1.2-litre petrol unit , and Comfort trim provides some desirable extra kit over Classic.

Against Choosing this combination of engine and trim pushes the i20's price up a tad too much to make sense. Stick with the 1.2 Classic model.

3 out of 5 stars

This version provides a generous level of equipment, 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, 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.
