Compare the Skoda Fabia vs Hyundai i20
AI generated from our expert reviews
When choosing between these two small hatchbacks, everyday comfort provides a clear difference. Around town, the Skoda Fabia soaks up poor surfaces to remain very comfortable at slow speeds, whereas you feel a few too many lumps and humps in the Hyundai i20. Head out onto the motorway and the Fabia keeps wind noise low with good sound insulation, while the i20 lets in too much wind and road noise. Both cars prove a doddle to park, and neither suffers from loads of body lean on twisty roads. Inside, the Fabia's cabin actually looks quite posh, whereas the i20 relies on scratchy plastic that makes it appear less appealing than the Skoda. You also get a bigger boot in the Fabia.
