2015 Hyundai i20 first view

Hyundai is claiming that its all-new i20 hatchback has class-leading boot space and legroom. And those things are important, because most target customers will just require it to transport five people and their luggage without any fuss.

Measuring 4,035 mm (13’ 3”) from bumper to bumper, the 2015 i20 is 40 mm (1.6”) longer than the current model. The styling, which is the responsibility of Hyundai’s German studio, is inoffensive yet forgettable.

Although the gloss black C-pillars and large front grille add a modicum of visual interest, the i20 remains fairly nondescript. However, it’s worth remembering that aesthetics are usually a low priority for buyers when a car is simply going to become another household appliance.

No technical details have been released, but Hyundai has confirmed that the 2015 i20 is due to make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
