The new generation Hyundai i10 will go
on sale in the United Kingdom on January 18, with an MSRP of £ 12,495
(US$ 16,489/€ 14,788). This makes it £ 1,195 (US$ 1,577/€ 1,414) pricier than the
entry-level Ford Ka+ and £ 2,355 (US$ 3,108/€ 2,787) more expensive than the base
Volkswagen Up!.
Still, it does offer a wide selection
of standard gear, including DAB radio with 3.8-inch display, air conditioning,
electric windows, electric side mirrors, cruise control and a leather-wrapped steering
wheel and gearshift lever. The forward collision warning with autonomous
emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, high beam assist
and eCall are also standard.
Should you want more gear, then you’ll
have to look at the i10 SE Connect, which starts at £ 13,495 (US$ 17,808/€ 15,972)
and adds 15-inch alloy wheels, 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay
and Android Auto, Bluetooth and a reversing camera. The Premium spec will cost
you at least £ 14,495 (US$ 19,128/€ 17,155) and brings 16-inch alloy wheels, LED
DRLs, front fog lamps, privacy glass, heated front seats and steering wheel and
a unique honeycomb design of the dashboard, gear lever and door panels.
All models come with a 1.0-liter 67 PS engine as standard, but the SE Connect and Premium can also be
ordered with a 1.2-liter 84 PS unit. From the mid-spec up,
customers can choose the 5-speed automatic transmission for a premium, instead
of the 5-speed manual, and speaking of options, metallic paint will cost you
£ 550 (US$ 726/€ 651), while the Premium-only two-tone roof and Tech Pack, with
intelligent speed warning, will require another £ 500 (US$ 660/€ 592) and £ 1,000
(US$ 1,320/€ 1,184), respectively.
