For This diesel engine gives the best economy of any i20, and it sits in a lower tax band than the petrol cars. Comfort is the best trim, with alloy wheels, four electric windows and air-con.
Against The engine isn't that much more economical than the petrol engines given how much extra it costs - and it's painfully slow.
What Car? says
The diesel may look an attractive proposition, but the sums just don't add up. It's too costly to buy and not that much more economical than the petrol engines.
