This is the first time that I've come across your channel. Straightforward, clear and interesting review. Its a bit like Top Gear back in the 1970's with William Woollard &Co. Thank you.
DEAR God why don't they sell in USA? The world complains about large american cars but international car companies want us to buy them for big bucks, we cant get subcompact cars here anymore... the only thing i want is a practical smart little hatchback... none.
It is such a shame that small cars like this just don't exist in the USA! I guess a combination of consumer habits and different road styles just mean that cars like this won't sell in the required numbers 😭
They don't really sell here. I would love a small hatch too. I would get the K4 hatch when/if it comes to the US if Hyundai doesn't bring the Elantra GT back
Great and clear review! I am ready to buy an i20, it looks great and is very well equipped. Do you still think the i20 is better than the Toyota Yaris and the Suzuki Swift?
It's definitely better than the Suzuki Swift (nicer interior), but it's a very different proposition to the Yaris which is a sturdy hybrid. The i20 is a car you can have more fun in, but won't be as economical.
@@BuckleUpShow A month ago I test drove the latest i20 in this colour - Lucid Lime Metallic. Driving around the centre of Bradford it certainly felt I was making a statement. Decided to go with the mid-spec Premium manual which has just about everything you would want. But chickened out when it came to the colour. Decided on the Meta Blue Pearl which is actually terrific - the body creases and different sunlight conditions giving it a constantly changing multi-hue effect.
Ive just ordered this car in Lucid lime with a black roof and theres no option to have a 120ps engine , please let me know where you got that info from, At the moment i have a 2022 n-line i20 and the mild hybrid is garbage even the hyundai salesman told me that , my car is nothing but trouble with the 12volt battery charging
The lime colour is excellent. It seems that since I filmed the video, Hyundai have tweaked the engine options available and removed the 120 PS engine, as it used to be an option on the configurator. Shame that there seem to have been issues with the 48V MHEV system, as it did make the car quite punchy to drive!
@@BuckleUpShow I dont think there was never an option for a 120ps engine, only the n-line has that and i think that bit more power is helped by the mild hybrid, i must admit my n-line is quite quick when you red line it , sorry know i never got 1600 n , there going to worth a few quid in time to come
I've just had another look at their website, which does (in the write-up of the Performance section www.hyundai.com/uk/en/models/new-i20/features.html) mention 120PS, but the configurator does not show any options other than the 100PS. How bizarre!
@@BuckleUpShow I think what they mean there is there talking about the n-line has the 120ps , the extra power is either the electric motor or the mapping is different
Seats in the i20N are bucket-stype sports seats, which hug you really well and offer loads of support. The seats in the regular i20 are very comfy and adjustable, but don't offer as much support, for obvious reasons.
Great review! I can't help thinking the styling of this model is just too random and needlessly complicated. You loose the graceful curves of the old models (still driving my 2024 one which is amazing).
I have an Ioniq and have been impressed with it. The i20 is a good looking small car. Shame they've dropped the hybrid, but it wasn't a full hybrid system, and it's less needed on an A/B sector car, i suppose. Excellent review.
The i20 is brilliant all round! The hybrid was only a mild one, with a small 48V battery and a starter/generator. It had a small positive impact on your urban fuel economy, but like you say - not massive in this segment of car. Thanks for watching, and we hope you enjoyed!
@@BuckleUpShow Hyundai have an impressive array of hybrids and EVs, as you know, so the i20 is about value and simplicity, I guess. I've been impressed with the reliability of mine.
A very comprehensive review. Lots of good info. 👍 If I could offer a suggestion, I'd say try and make your delivery a bit more relaxed and flowing - as it can come across a bit stilted and 'preachy'. As others have mentioned, it's reminiscent of 70's Top Gear - which I think we've happily 'moved on' from. You drove that poor car down some shockingly bad condition farm/country roads. I'll bet it was filthy afterwards... 😁
the rest of the world would love this car but why it's only available in 4 right hand drive countries and 9 left hand drive countries. 1.0L with turbo petrol engine with manual or automatic option nothing is more valuable with that package
After having this car for just over 6 months now, (pre-facelift version), I do have a couple of niggles… 1) The DCT gearbox can be quite hesitant at times, especially when trying to pull away from a junction quickly. I know it’s a quirk of all DCT’s but there’s been a couple of hair raising moments in this when the car has taken a second or two to decide what gear it wants to be in. I’d much prefer a normal torque converter auto transmission rather than a DCT. But that’s just personal preference. 2) The basic stereo system whilst sounds decent enough upfront, is non existent in the back. I don’t even know why they’ve bothered putting speakers in the rear as hardly any noise comes out of them. Even changing the position of the speakers makes no difference. I only noticed this when I had rear passengers in the back and they asked for the radio to be turned up as they couldn’t hear anything! 3) The Infotainment system, whilst on the whole is brilliant for this class of car, can be quite sluggish at times when pressing the screen. Can sometimes take 2 or 3 seconds to catch up. Even after a recent software update it’s no better. Apple CarPlay works fine though. Just a shame it’s not wireless on the top end models with the bigger screens, yet in the 8” screen it is?! Go figure! Overall I’m still happy with it. It’s economical, nippy when it gets going and has more than enough space for your day to day needs. Seats are reasonably comfy and it had no issues keeping up with motorway speeds with car full to London and back to the North East. Would I recommend it? Yes I would… but it will be interesting to see how the new MG3 compares to this when that comes out, especially with the hybrid engine that the MG will have for much cheaper than the i20 is.
Interesting insight from a longer-term owner! With the DCT quirk, is it possibly the case that it takes off a little quicker if you stomp your foot down? It is frustrating that DCTs are still not quite as good at reading the road ahead as a human instinctively would be! We've found the Bose Stereo system to be pretty decent, though that is only standard fitment on the Ultimate specification, so Advance and Premium may well be lacking in punch? Internal car Infotainment is a difficult thing to get right - to the point where some manufacturers should probably not bother with further investment as people tend to just plug their phones in if they have the option to do so. Unfortunately, the reality is that in-car systems will never feel quite as smooth or natural to use as a mobile phone does. Some tech-heavy manufacturers, like BYD and Tesla are close, though. We are also interested to see what the MG3 will be like when the new model comes out, as it should be a bit of a unicorn in this segment!
@@BuckleUpShow the weird bumpy fake air vents, the sticking out climate controls, and the same size displays at two different heights. It’s a very competent car though.
I guess we have seen better integrations of multiple screens, but the interior is all very functional, which is something you can't necessarily say about some of its rivals 🤣
Really great review thanks. I love the green makes a change from the same old colours but with a black roof it just make it work so well. Compared to the i10 is it more or less economical to run.
You must be fun at dinner parties, occupier just means someone using or utilising a space but it doesn't define if that person is there rightfully or not
Stunning looking and gorgeous colour. Lost faith in hyundai locally when my daughters i10 went in for clutch problem.dealer changed clutch and said needed bleeding and was a pain. I declined to pay as guy was service manager and showed him the cable clutch. Reported them to hyundai as no doubt they were claiming warranty. Hyundai dis interested.
Because this is the press car that Hyundai supplied us with. Why not go and sit in one at your local dealer? The rest of the review will still be relevant.
I am wondering as I have not catched it during the review, how does new I20 stands compared to new versions of Clio or Fabia or other cars from the category?
Have this car since February, all good, some differences in countries, for exampe mine is Hybrid and in Spain you can not have Bose sound + bigger display for media and "window in the roof" and some other features, but the car is pretty good
The engine may or may not be the same, as there are two families of engines with some overlapping in dates used across both models. In the i20, though, there is less weight to move so the engine will be less stressed than in the larger Xceed
What on earth are you talking about? 😂 Which of this cars direct rivals would you have instead? Good luck finding one with your criteria. Btw, you need a handbrake for handbrake turns!
I've owned my i20N for a month now and I think they hit the "sweet spot". It genuinely is a 'do eveyrthing' car. I wanted the 5-door specifically for easier access to the rear seats. Having had a 3-door beforehand, it was always a pain resetting the Driver's seat after accessing the rear. Making it more like a GR Yaris would also have pushed the price up and compromised the i30N's position as their highest performance model. I appreciate the engineering that has gone into the GR Yaris but it's not required for daily use...
@@BuckleUpShow still a shame though. My partner has a black i20N and it is by far the most engaging car that I have driven, which includes 2 Golf GTIs and a present RS3.

@@BuckleUpShow i20 was know for its beautiful designs.. if we take 2009 i20 , ,2012 facelift i20 ,2015 elite i20 ,2018 elite i20,, all of these were loved by large numbers of audience for their beautiful fluidic design language..but after 2020 things havnt been same after they introduced Senseous sportiness.. these designs are polarising, have love or hate kinda things and especially i20’ rear profile looks like drawn by a 10 year old child. Iam not one who is saying this you’ll hardly find any positive comment for their new “ seanseious sportiness design language “
i20, the only thing the Skoda does significantly better is boot space but otherwise they're both fairly evenly matched (both cars are good I don't think you'd be disappointed with either), I think this is a little more engaging to drive and you get a 5 year warranty rather than the Skoda's 3
@@BuckleUpShow awesome you tried both and came up with conclusion right ? Review say skoda had bigger back seat space or are they the same ? Second question would you pick a jazz/fit hybrid or i20 for same price ?
The Skoda does have a bigger back seat, but they're both still fairly small hatchbacks so if back seat space is a priority I would suggest looking at a different segment of car. When you say for the same price, do you mean in both cases a brand new car? The current Jazz is excellent, very intelligently packaged and has heaps of equipment on it. The downsides are the dowdy image and the price but if I could have the Jazz for what the i20 cost I would pick Jazz every time.
@@BuckleUpShow the jazz where i am from is 1k more for exact same specs hence my question so the jazz is better in this case right ? And yes i20 looks better no doubt
The Honda is a lot more money, but it's very intelligently designed, this is much more conventional. One being better than the other is probably a matter of priorities or taste. What are you looking for in a car?
They do have interest in their customers. Unfortunately though, to continue existing as a company they have to hit certain emissions and fleet BEV targets, necessitating the axing of some of the more polluting models. It is a crying shame, but an important step as we move towards greener transportation. The fact that Hyundai have developed the Ioniq 5 N also would heavily suggest they do have an interest in their customers 😊
@@BuckleUpShow It's exactly the same emissions everybody else has to live up to. They are only doing this to make more money and they don't care about customers. What greener transportation? Hopefully you are not suggesting EV's are greener now that every serious study shows the opposite. That Ioniq 5 SUV is just one big ugly joke. It's a big heavy kids toy pretending to be a real car 🤡
Please list ‘everybody else’ selling a hot hatchback in this size class of car. We’ll give you a clue, if you include the stipulation of a manual gearbox, the list halves and the price doubles. The rest of your comment isn’t even worth responding to and shows your complete lack of understanding, and knowledge about the industry, or indeed, cars in general.
@@BuckleUpShow My comment is about this brand specifically. Not a list of who else is abandoning their costumers. You wrote you didn't want to comment about the rest but then proceeded commenting about it anyway. Volvo has made a thorough study which shows how much pollution is generated from developing Lithium batteries for cars. This study shows you have to drive about 80.000 miles before it is break even compared to a petrol powered car. Just because you move emission of co2 from one place to another doesn't make it go way. Then you should consider how batteries are disposed of in countries like China and India and what that is doing to the climate. Then you have to take into consideration that only half of the electricity used for charging EV's comes from green energy world wide. You can also take into consideration that carbon dioxide generated from private cars world wide is about 6.5 % a year compared to industry which is about 70 %
We’ve read the same reports as you. As you admit, the report shows that over the lifetime of a vehicle, it has lower emissions. That is unless you expect to scrap your car at 80,000 miles? Auto manufacturing plants are much greener than they used to be. It’s a journey that takes time. We’ve only been making proper EVs since 2010 and look at how far they’ve come. I don’t suppose the petrol cars of 1900 were particularly great, but they’ve enjoyed 125 years of refinement since then. We live in the North East of England where all our electricity is very green. You can choose to find problems if that’s your prerogative. It sounds like you’ve never driven an EV for an extended amount of time and you’ve got all your ideas from the Daily Mail.
This is the first time that I've come across your channel. Straightforward, clear and interesting review. Its a bit like Top Gear back in the 1970's with William Woollard &Co. Thank you.

When you say for the same price, do you mean in both cases a brand new car? The current Jazz is excellent, very intelligently packaged and has heaps of equipment on it. The downsides are the dowdy image and the price but if I could have the Jazz for what the i20 cost I would pick Jazz every time.
@@BuckleUpShow the jazz where i am from is 1k more for exact same specs hence my question so the jazz is better in this case right ? And yes i20 looks better no doubt
Where are you from, I wouldn't want to give you advice based purely on the UK spec of the cars
Against a jazz honda 2024?
The Honda is a lot more money, but it's very intelligently designed, this is much more conventional. One being better than the other is probably a matter of priorities or taste. What are you looking for in a car?
Value for money, economic. I don't want it to be fast fast, but also able to hold it's own.
The screen looks cheap.
As very important motoring journalists, we can confidently say this is one of the better in-car infotainment systems in this class of car.
Kein Schiebedach, voll ätzend.
This did have a sunroof, I just forgot to mention it 🤦🏻♂️
Good review😊
Thank you! Subscribe for more where that came from!
The boot floor space, can hold a spare tyre?
Potentially, but it's not offered - instead, you get a tyre inflation kit.
Yes but only a space saver, which you will need to order as an extra via your Dealer (or aftermarket). I have one fitted in my i20N
Thanks for the reply. Having a spare its much better, IMO.
The fact they have discontinued the i20n shows that this company has no interest in their customers. I'm putting my money elsewhere
They do have interest in their customers. Unfortunately though, to continue existing as a company they have to hit certain emissions and fleet BEV targets, necessitating the axing of some of the more polluting models. It is a crying shame, but an important step as we move towards greener transportation. The fact that Hyundai have developed the Ioniq 5 N also would heavily suggest they do have an interest in their customers 😊
@@BuckleUpShow It's exactly the same emissions everybody else has to live up to. They are only doing this to make more money and they don't care about customers. What greener transportation? Hopefully you are not suggesting EV's are greener now that every serious study shows the opposite. That Ioniq 5 SUV is just one big ugly joke. It's a big heavy kids toy pretending to be a real car 🤡
Please list ‘everybody else’ selling a hot hatchback in this size class of car. We’ll give you a clue, if you include the stipulation of a manual gearbox, the list halves and the price doubles.
The rest of your comment isn’t even worth responding to and shows your complete lack of understanding, and knowledge about the industry, or indeed, cars in general.
@@BuckleUpShow My comment is about this brand specifically. Not a list of who else is abandoning their costumers. You wrote you didn't want to comment about the rest but then proceeded commenting about it anyway. Volvo has made a thorough study which shows how much pollution is generated from developing Lithium batteries for cars. This study shows you have to drive about 80.000 miles before it is break even compared to a petrol powered car. Just because you move emission of co2 from one place to another doesn't make it go way. Then you should consider how batteries are disposed of in countries like China and India and what that is doing to the climate. Then you have to take into consideration that only half of the electricity used for charging EV's comes from green energy world wide. You can also take into consideration that carbon dioxide generated from private cars world wide is about 6.5 % a year compared to industry which is about 70 %
We’ve read the same reports as you. As you admit, the report shows that over the lifetime of a vehicle, it has lower emissions. That is unless you expect to scrap your car at 80,000 miles?
Auto manufacturing plants are much greener than they used to be. It’s a journey that takes time. We’ve only been making proper EVs since 2010 and look at how far they’ve come. I don’t suppose the petrol cars of 1900 were particularly great, but they’ve enjoyed 125 years of refinement since then. We live in the North East of England where all our electricity is very green.
You can choose to find problems if that’s your prerogative. It sounds like you’ve never driven an EV for an extended amount of time and you’ve got all your ideas from the Daily Mail.
Kommt ein Nline Version?
Ja
I just got my 2023 pre-facelift i20. I'm really happy with the 120ps mild hybrid. Much fun to drive.
Great choice, hope it treats you well!
Build quality dreadful compared to other manufacturers. OK when new, do not last long term.
Not true
The spray on pants are back then?
👀👀👀
They never left 🙊
Ooh snot green.
It is!
It'snot green 🤣
If your snot is that green I go to the Dr's.
