AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these two stablemates comes down to practicality and driving manners. The Hyundai i20 is the longer car, offering a larger boot, more capacity with the rear seats folded, and a higher towing limit than the Hyundai i10. It also includes an adjustable boot floor, which the i10 lacks, and its steering wheel adjusts for both height and reach, whereas the i10 only adjusts for height. Both cars come with a reversing camera as standard to help with parking, and both feature firm suspension setups that let you feel bumps in the road. However, their self-shifting transmissions differ considerably: the seven-speed double-clutch automatic in the i20 is smooth in slow-moving traffic, while the optional automated manual in the i10 is dire and achingly slow to change gear.
