Hyundai i10 2021 review: can it rival the VW Up! GTI?

[@gsyandy4476]

Bought this car just before christmas. This is the best car I have had. I have full tech pack also. Very nippy, sticks to the road like glue. Was going to go for a VW Up but if i had all the technology which I have in the i10 N Line, it would of cost £2000 more. so a no brainer. I would recommend this car, it is fun to drive.

[@JMB1891]

How much did you pay? Over £18k according to their site for this spec, which is bonkers!

[@mdev8846]

Why is it fun to drive ?. Thanks for your comments.

[@MsFishfish1]

Worked for vw and had 3 up gti as demo. Now I work at Hyundai and have had the i10 nline for a few days. To drive there really isn't much in it at ALL, both extremely fun. Love the touch screen in the Hyundai and rear camera, but in the UP I love the heated seats and gti trim. The UP edges it In my experience, but Hyundai do a very very good job with their version and it's not far behind 👍

Great review definitely going to get this car now 👌

[@DrOneOneOne]

The lane-keeping on the N-Line i10 isn't just an audible warning; it's active. Provided it has a good enough view of the road markings it will actively steer to keep you in lane. It can also be set just to warn you if you're not a fan; as it uses a camera, it also tells you if the car in front has moved off from a stop. The N-Line also has cruise control giving you very basic autonomous driving functions.

[@loader4591]

Good review...looking for a good value run about and this could be it

[@rymdskrotet]

How about a review of the automatic gearbox? How is the automatic on this car? Also how is the lower powered engines performing? Is the manual gearbox the same on all versions?

[@ThermoNuclearLlama]

There isn't an auto box on the N Line (yet?).

[@garrydavis3475]

My i10 se is great on the back roads and the breaks are really good

[@SilverTrill]

Tney should have included heated seats heated steering and sunroof to this like the picanto gt line s which also has 100bhp

Great review...you deserve more subscribers.

Just bought this car today and felt like I was kangaroo driving all the way home. I couldn’t get used to the pedals at all. The brake is super sensitive. I hope it gets easier!

[@mdev8846]

Rare...But is the N- Line version ?.

[@CLYDOL]

@@mdev8846 yeah it is the n line version. I think I just need to get used to it. Pedals just feel super sensitive.

Can you switch off the stop start on this car ?

[@leszekkorulczyk16]

Yes, but you have to do it manually every time after turning on the engine, there is no possibility ti shut it down permanently

Picking one up on Tuesday..

[@leitfie3579]

Interesting and helpful - thanks.

[@twilliams3642]

Was seriously looking at buying this model but after since seeing its 3 star NCAP Rating my enthusiasm has lessened and I would need reassurance to get it back again

[@loader4591]

Yes that’s interesting and not considered that (thinking all modern cars must have a 4/5 Star rating). Discovered that VW UP! Also has a 3 Star rating as does a Toyota Aygo in standard spec. Must be typical of cars this size?

[@briangriffiths114]

Same here. My next car is probably a straight choice between this one and the similar Picanto GT but the submarining issue with the seatbelt on the i-10s NCAP test put me right off. I'd guess it is to do with the seatbelt mounts and is easily resolvable but Hyundai remain silent on the issue which is a bad sign.

[@leszekkorulczyk16]

@@loader4591 I had a serious double crash in Aygo a few months ago, and it took it pretty well, I mean car was no repairable but I suffered basicly no damage except for broken thumb and some minor burns from the explosion of airbag/seatbelts pirotechnic charges. But from what I saw Aygo had a much better performance in crashing tests than a i10 series despite having only 3 stars. Do not look on the stars - compare real crusing by watching crust test, they are made on very comparable standars.

Great economical car for city office commute.

Rear lights looks awefully dull n outdated . Ist n 2nd gen i10 rear lights were comparatively very attractive n dashing . Company should replace it

[@grassblade2]

What would have been cool, would have been if they'd NOT ponced the styling...just kept it Q car? ...but no..we will will pay a premium for blousery....RIP The Pug Rallye....😣.

[@andyhowlett2231]

The the one to get is the KIA Picanto GT-line S version. It does the 0-60 dash quicker and it doesn't look like a pimp-mobile.

[@jinaedinisci203]

Yes, my 2012 i10 style has more features including heated seats which the new N line doesn't

[@victormarian7889]

@@jinaedinisci203 has heated seats and wheel !

[@jinaedinisci203]

@victor marian not in the UK unfortunately. The premium has heated seats and steering wheel but the N Line doesn't. For a 1 litre engine it guzzles a lot of petrol too! My old car was more economical on petrol even though it had a bigger engine...1.2

[@victormarian7889]

@@jinaedinisci203 I have not yet driven it, Tuesday I will sign the final papers and the insurances, but 5,6 is not so much if it gives you 99,5 Hp and I guess it also have to do with your style of driving.

[@jinaedinisci203]

@victor marian I was only getting 37mpg instead of the 52 it claims to give you around town which is a heck of a difference. Now that I've done nearly 1000 miles I'm getting a bit more. I got as much as 51 so I'm happier. Someone at the dealership advised thst I switch to premium unleaded as it burns better than the regular unleaded and yhe manual recommends Shell petrol do next time I fill up I'll go to Shell and put in premium then compare

You really should try to cure that habit of glancing at the gear lever.

[@ThisIsDaxter]

So basically it's £2000 more & less powerful than an Up! GTI? I mean, are Hyundai nuts or something?

[@JMB1891]

Yes.

[@MrSimon1909]

its actually cheaper where i live. hyundai ~18500€, up 20000€

[@victormarian7889]

Actually it 's slightly less powerfull, but bigger and cheaper !

[@ibrahim0ffline]

Dude UP doesn't come with basic functions so when you start adding them like parking camera, infotainment etc it'll cost a lot more than N line

[@jamesbarnes8338]

Look at the prices of both now and you'll see this comment aged like milk.
