2024 (24) Hyundai I20

High-Spec Hatchback| BOSE Audio, Panoramic Roof & Heated Seats

This 2024 Hyundai i20 Ultimate packs an impressive level of technology and comfort into a compact, easy-to-live-with hatchback. Finished in red, it pairs a 100 PS 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a manual gearbox and is ULEZ compliant.

The Ultimate specification gives the cabin a particularly premium feel. An electric tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof brings extra light into the interior, while heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and automatic climate control make colder journeys more comfortable. There is also 64-colour ambient lighting to personalise the atmosphere after dark.

Technology is centred around a 10.25-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and LIVE Services, alongside a 10.25-inch digital driver display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide easy smartphone integration, while wireless phone charging and USB ports front and rear help keep devices powered. Music is handled by the BOSE premium sound system.

Despite its compact dimensions, everyday manoeuvring is straightforward thanks to front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera. Keyless entry and start, power-folding heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and LED headlights with High Beam Assist add further convenience.

Safety technology includes autonomous emergency braking, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist. Cruise control with a speed limiter is also included for longer journeys.

Best suited to someone wanting a compact petrol hatchback without sacrificing premium features, connectivity or driver technology. Less suited to buyers who specifically need an automatic gearbox or the additional space and raised driving position of an SUV.
