Compare the Hyundai i20 vs Polestar 2
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these two models comes down to size, power, and passenger space. The Polestar 2 is longer, more powerful, can tow more, and has a bigger boot with the rear seats upright. However, the Hyundai i20 actually provides more load space with the back seats folded flat. When carrying passengers, adults will find the i20 spacious enough in the back, whereas the Polestar 2 is not very roomy in the rear. Inside, the i20 feels let down by scratchy plastics everywhere you look and feel, while the Polestar 2 keeps cheap surfaces few and far between low down. From behind the wheel, both cars settle down and feel more comfortable at motorway speeds, but each struggles over poor urban roads, where their firm setups shake you about over bumps.
