Hyundai is commonly considered a value brand so you may be surprised to see the i10 costs a little more than a Volkswagen Up or Toyota Aygo. Hyundai doesn’t play the game of offering a bare bones spec just to hit a nominal price point, though – indeed it’s actually ditched the most basic trim level and the i10 packs a lot of kit in as standard where others charge extra for the same.

Of the two engines available at launch fuel economy is slightly better in the smaller one based on experience of driving both, though the bigger engine will likely be more efficient if you do more motorway driving. Emissions are slightly worse than the Up and Aygo but the i10 will still be cheap to tax, insure and run.
