There’s no denying that the all-new Hyundai i20 is a massive improvement from a styling point of view over its predecessor. But is it better?

Carbuyer’s Ginny Buckley wanted to find that out. While she found the interior lacking in style compared to the exterior, there is nothing wrong from a functional point of view. Standard equipment is comprehensive, although the i20 doesn’t offer a touch screen as many of its rivals do.

Practicality is also good, with the i20 offering one of the biggest boots in the segment and plenty of space for passengers – even at the rear.

So what’s it like to drive? Well, it offers a good balance between a comfortable, refined ride and decent handling. The 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine does its job well, but the steering is deemed too light and lacking in feedback. Scroll down for the complete video review.
