Hyundai i20 Hatchback 1.4 CRDi 74 Comfort 5dr

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

3 out of 5 stars

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.

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.
