Car Review: Hyundai ix20

Hyundai ix20 – a super mini-MPV which is created to continue the brand’s success.

This is Hyundai’s very own product which is created to achieve success. Hyundai, a Korean car manufacturing company has been garnering positive increase on it’s car sales for the past years.

One good testament to Hyundai’s success is the release of ix20 supermini-MPV to the market that will soon to be a huge hit in UK.

This is the 2nd car that carries a European appeal that has this fluidic sculpture design which was first launched through ix35 crossover just this year.

On it’s exterior, the headlights are swept-back that match perfectly with the hexagonal grille which looks much better with ix20 smaller body. The roof is sloping with C-pillars that are narrow makes this car look more dynamic in contrast with its counterparts Citroen’s C3 Picasso (ix20 boxy rival).

When it comes to the cabin, it’s strong and sturdy while giving you that feeling of having a high quality car. Apart from that, the steering is wrapped with leather plus a door handle that does resemble the shape of a blade, and chunky gearstick make ix20 exude with class and elegance.

As to the engine, it has a 1.4 L diesel engine. Petrol wise it’s economical. However, when it comes to performance it is not that at par with it’s competitors. The car is a bit sluggish driving jus below 1,700rpm and along the line it will becomes noisy.

When it comes to long distance driving, the petrol version of ix20 is highly advisable. Its practicality is indeed a good priority. Good news, it has even more room when it comes to luggage space in contrast with Volvo V50 estate.

When it comes to prices, the classic one would be around £11,500 and the fully-loaded with add-ons, it will cost roughly about £13,000 or over than that.

The final verdict Hyundai’s ix20 is still worth your money.
