Hyundai i10 N-line review - Why we need to stop comparing it to the Up! GTI

[@larrybxl5406]

I have an i10 purchased in Nov 2017 , 1.2 L 87 bhp manual 5 sp and its been a super car. I would consider the N-line i10 as my next car. Not a big fan of the VW Up.

[@AndyC2_]

Lane assist can be turned off in the programme, not just the button on the dash - saves you doing it every trip

[@grahamcruickshank4572]

Just found Auto Socials channel and it beats Car Wow and the rest easily. Tish is lovely and gives a fair and honest view of all the cars without bias.

[@andyhowlett2231]

We have it's sister car, the KIA Picanto GT-line, does the same bleeps. I got used to it pretty quickly. BTW, the KIA gets to 62mph quicker (9.9 secs). We looked at the VW Up GTI, but the cabin was a bit sparse with lots of painted metal on the doors etc. It felt cheap compared to the KIA.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Very interesting, I’ll have to try out the Picanto GT

[@kaliinferno6544]

In honesty Standard mid range spec with the larger 1.2 engine is a better buy, get the screen, nice features, good performance and economical driving. The i10 is a fabulous car, get a good deal on a mid range model with the larger 1.2 and you won’t go wrong. Get one that is ex-demo or a year old and you will do even better by letting someone else take the initial depreciation hit.

[@tadeuszmarin5704]

Shame the last advice no longer applies. There is a (artificial or real) shortage of 0km cars and they are all priced above MSRP because 'IT'S AVAILABLE INMEDIATELY'. They are preying on people's impatience.

[@StevetheBarmanUK]

Ain’t gonna lie, I kinda like that! Them wheelz! 👏👏

Love this review! Very well structured, nice shots of the car + plus a very pleasant and lovely presenter!

[@opvask]

4:40 if you turn it on before you have fastened your seatbelt, it will beep at you.. fasten the seatbelt before turning the key and it wont

[@NB_NB_NB]

This car's closest competitor is probably the Picanto 1.0 GT turbo. Same engine I think. The Up is abysmal in terms of standard kit, just like all VWs.

[@MJ-YT-USR]

I agree, the Picanto is the closest competitor to this. In fact its the cousin of the i10 with many shared bits

[@TheExpendableGuy1]

Hi ! First this is a nice review of a good little car. About the bips, if it's like in it's cousin the Picanto (and it's likely to be so) most of the bips come from the fact the belts are not fastened. Just fasten it before ignition and you should be good.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Hahah yes, wish I’d know that before 😁

[@rogerbourne4377]

She is right! we must not compare this i10 to an up! GTI. I've had 3 VW's over the years and never again! all had loads of problems. Hyundai's ARE reliable and are much better than any boring German product. They surpassed Audi and BMW 5 years ago.

[@alexdalgleish1061]

My Picanto does same system check. Doesn't bother me. What does is that it chimes when temperature outside 4 degrees or colder. Also starts in eco for about 5 mins. Just gone off in time for the motorway. Otherwise wouldn't be much fun.

[@albionmyl7735]

I would choose the i10... much better than VWup.... Greetings from Germany to England we very much appreciate you... ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤗🇩🇪

[@jamesspeytebroodt7237]

re system check and the 5 bleeps...odd. dad has that model, a 2021 so its a mk3 I10 but not N LINE. Never complained about any bleeping. Perhaps its switschable via the settting menu? Perhaps only on the N line?

[@jonm9501]

I've got a Kia Sportage and you can turn off the various bongs and sounds in the settings. Also the lane assist isn't on automatically. It's a button you can turn on manually on the motorway. It seems more logical that way, not sure they they would change it.

[@aggers40]

I ordered my new N-Line today after testing, then someone else took it out straight after. While at the dealership I had a sit in one of their Connect models prior to its PDI. But whilst sat in that car and going through the settings menu, I’m sure I saw an Off or 3, 5, 7 ‘bongs’ for open Doors, flashes for one touch indicators and for when the key is inserted. I might be mistaken, but surely the higher graded N-Line will have this feature?

[@predragkardashian3730]

[@Heather-g9l]

Really relevant review for me as I'm currently having the dilemma over whether to renew my Up! GTI ( that I LOVE) or going for the i10. Despite the extra technology and bits and bobs of the i10 I'd prefer to renew my Up!. Sadly have just found out that it's no longer available to order. I'd be interested to know if the presenter is aware of this and is as sad as I am about it? !

[@AutoSocialUK]

I am aware! I have an UP GTi now and it is very sad! Very few small, cool cars nowadays. I would hang on to your Up! it will hold its value.

[@alexalexander8589]

the body work looks GREAT!

[@SigaSigaJohn]

First, the initial statement from the lady was quite 'on the spot' and rather 'courageous' if I may say... well done!. In essence Hyundai did NOT want to make a performance car in that category and in my opinion very correctly, the cars in that category are just too small to even try to behave like 'performance cars', the compromises will be too many and the pricing would just not justify the effort (it would not be much cheaper than i20N anyway...). So, wisely in my opinion, they tried to give it some 'looks' and that's it - and they have succeeded since it looks really different than 'normal' i10 - but it is a very normal i10 underneath... . The mistake they made is that they should have given it 10-20 horsepower more - not too many to make it a 'hot hatch' but enough to differentiate it from the other models. In engines Hyunday is not, unfortunately, up to the competition, even at that power this car simply wants too much fuel for its size without offering extra performance nor any significant refinement - it is not bad but there are better options out there (same is true for all Hyundais more or less). Nevertheless, it has all the Hyundai pros like great reliability, roomy for its size, decent equipment and fair price thus a good buy overall. The review is quite good and realistic I think, well done (again).

Thanks for great review. I like the i10 but here in Sweden we can only get the 1 litre 67 hp engine or the 1 litre turbo n line. I would prefer the n line engine but am worried I might find the ride too firm. Is it a very much firmer ride than the entry level car ?

Those 5 beeps at start up are for not wearing the driver seatbelt, wear one while start up and it won’t beep!

[@AutoSocialUK]

That’s really good to know. I’m sure you soon get into the routine of putting you belt on first.

[@jamesbarnes8338]

I personally start the engine before belting up purely so the time I take belting up allows the oil to circulate before pulling away.

[@slowerthinker]

My little hyundai beeps at me a lot every time I turn it on. There is always at least one beep extra after I think it is finally going to shut up, and it does sometimes make me worry that there must be a problem with the car. Then I remember that it always does that.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Good so it’s not just me 😅 does seem a little excessive 😂 how are you finding it overall?

Yep but that engine uses modern direct injection with their turbos which destroy high engine on long terms ( like the peugeot puretech)...

How was the gearbox? I find mine lacks any refinement or slickness, first to second very notchy, selecting reverse can sometimes need a couple attempts. This is a trait common to the previous gens i10 too. Have they improved it?
