For This model's emissions put it in a lower tax band than the petrol cars. And, the fuel economy is excellent, while Style trim brings a touch of luxury, including climate control.

Against Given how much extra this model costs over the petrol i20s, there's no way you'll recoup that in lower fuel bills - especially as the petrol engines aren't that much less frugal.

3 out of 5 stars

This 89bhp diesel may look an attractive proposition, but the sums just don't add up because it's much too costly to buy. More than £13k for a Hyundai supermini? No thanks.

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.
