Used Hyundai i10 cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

There’s only one version of the Hyundai i10 and it’s a five-door hatchback. If you’re looking for a little more space, there’s also the slightly larger Hyundai i20 or Hyundai Bayon compact SUV.

Buyers looking at nearly new i10s are likely to come across both current and previous-generation models. Current models went on sale part-way through 2020 and get refreshed stying inside and out, along with updated engines and specification packages. Previous-generation models were sold until early 2020 and, despite lacking the latest styling, engines and technology, represent fantastic value for money thanks to being more affordable. The easiest way to tell the two apart is to look at the badge on the front – pre-2020 models mount the badge on a thin opening above the front grille, while 2020-and-newer versions place the badge on the bodywork above the grille.

The Hyundai i10 is a small car, measuring slightly less than 3.7 metres long. That makes it slightly longer than rivals including the Kia Picanto, Volkswagen Up and Toyota Aygo, and a few millimetres shorter than the Fiat Panda.

Despite its modest size, the i10 makes better use of its limited interior space than plenty of rivals. Four adults can fit in the cabin with ease, with enough rear legroom provided you’re not carrying very tall passengers. You can squeeze three across the rear bench, unlike rivals such as the Volkswagen Up, but it’ll be quite uncomfortable so will only work for very quick hops. Boot space is, similarly, about as impressive as could be expected for a car this small, with enough room for the weekly shop or about one large suitcase.

Hyundai has opted to only fit petrol engines to the i10, as they better suit they typical urban and suburban journeys owners are likely to tackle. All are smooth and efficient, and there’s an optional automatic gearbox for those who prefer a more relaxed drive.

The i10 is excellent at nipping through city streets and squeezing into tight spots, and somehow manages to have space for four people to sit comfortably and a class-leading boot. Go for a mid-spec version and the on-board phone connectivity gives you sat nav, media playback and more. The i10 also brings bargain running costs, while it's even quite accomplished at motorway speeds – you might just need to be a little patient when getting up to speed.

One of the benefits of small and relatively simple cars like the Hyundai i10 is that there's little to go wrong. Hyundai's five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty shows that the brand is confident in its cars – but owner reports tend to suggest you won't need to use it.
