The thing that worries me is fuel consumption. I have discussed it both Kia and Hyundai agents and the feedback I get is that the Kia Rio 1.4ltr gets 9ltr/100km compared to the Hyundai i20 1.4ltr getting 7ltr/100km. This has made me lean towards the i20. That's means you get an extra 100km per tank in the i20 (340km vs 440km).
Where are you driving with it most of the time? I usually do 40-80kms/hr with moderate traffic and uphill/down hill rather steep roads probably 25% of the time. I am getting 6.6-6.9ltr/100km on the flat and 7.1-7.6ltr/100km on the hills.
All my driving is on the flat and light traffic, 40ks round trip/per day. usually 40-70kms/hr. (No highways here in my town). looks like ill get 560ks on my first tank of petrol. i was hoping for over 600ks. will need to do a few more fuel ups to see what the average is.
I got 550km for my first full tank. The guy who sold me the car told me i should expect 9ltr/100km so i was pretty satisfied despite the fact Kia advertise much better returns. We do have a lot of steep hills here which can really increase that figure if you have to drive them every day (which i dont). He also mentioned that they had been sued for misleading people about fuel efficiency and had had to retract some of their statistics they were using in their advertising.
I think if you compare all the cars in its class the Rio is very much average in consumption of fuel. My girlfriend drives and i20 and I would say that her consumption is about 10-15% better than mine, but I would argue it's worth it for the benefit of driving a much nicer and better designed car :)
Which car wins? Im toying up between these exact models
So I bought the Rio. Getting around 7ltr/100kms. Pretty happy with that.

just brought the rio 1.4 still on first tank of petrol, but trip meter showing 6.6L/100ks so far.

why should they? Dutch mag...
I20 its nice car
Rio zit wat lager voor sportievere uitstraling, de i20 is meer allemans vriend
Kia en Hyundai spelen onder een hoedje dus echt uitmaken voor welke je kiest doet het niet.
Stephan is echt een hele saaie presentator.. Verder wel een goede review!
English or German transcript anyone?
Would really aprreciate it :)
De 1.2 van de Hyundai is een tikkende tijdsbom.
Wat is er specifiek mis met deze 1.2?
i20 Leuk auto.
Río más bonito
thanks for not adding subs XXX
Buitenvrouw? Teveel surinaamse matties???🤣🤣🤣🤣
Design of both looks bad.
i20 looks pretty nice though
wat een vieze auto zeg, dat nieuw model is een HEEL stuk beter! niet zo vrouwachtig.
