It is one of the last models of its kind: Hyundai i10, the mini city car that resists in our marketuntil most competing models have disappeared. There is little more than a Panda, Picanto, Ignis or Aygo X. Twingo, Forfour, Ka, C1/108 have all been killed off. Others still exist, but their conversion to electric sealed their main advantage: price. This is, for example, a case Fiat 500e and Volkswagen e-Up! Example. The i10 even acts as an underdog in the Hyundai range when it comes to just not the electrified model. From thermal 48V to electric, from hybrid to rechargeable hybrid, all other models offer at least one electric option.

Unbeatable value for money

Its first generation was released in 2008, and in 2013 it was updated in the second generation. The last date is 2019, and has everything that the big Hyundai has in a reduced size. This is a model very correctly located from the point of view prices and equipment. Hyundai even equipped it with a block 100 horsepower (Finish line N only). Which was not trivial for such a compact and light model. Available in France from €13,040 one of the cheapest models on the market. While mini-city cars are increasingly being abandoned in favor of bigger, higher-margin models, Hyundai has now decided continue the career of your i10. It passes through a restyling which, as you can see, is very very light.

Very minor changes

THE LED lights lattice integrated now takes a honeycomb pattern, instead of their previous round shape. Same observation at the rear where the lights don’t change but just take a new horizontal light signature.

On board, the i10 received new dark blue ambient lighting and discreet upholstery with purple embroidery. Note the appearance of a on the instrument panel new 4.2-inch instrument panel. For this occasion, it is equipped with several additional driver aids, including the function detection of cyclists about emergency braking assistance. It is not enough to break three legs.
