Hyundai i20 Review | Better Than A Vauxhall Corsa?
This week on Buckle Up, Jasper reviews the new i20. Now the Fiesta is no more, can this little Hyundai take the supermini crown?
Is this enough for it to beat out the opposition in the form of the Vauxhall Corsa, Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 208, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris, Citroen C3, Renault Clio, Nissan Micra, Volkswagen Polo, Mini Hatch, Audi A1, Honda Jazz, Alfa Romeo Mito, Skoda Fabia, Dacia Sandero, Fiat 500, MG 3, Suzuki Swift, Mazda 2 and Seat Ibiza.

Buckle Up is a channel that is only interested in one thing - cars!
We upload a myriad of different content including car review videos, car challenge videos, car news videos and much, much more!
Our videos are made in a similar style to that of Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Car Throttle, Doug DeMuro, carwow, Carfection, The Grand Tour, MotorTrend and many more.
We would all thoroughly recommend their channels, so why not go and check them out.
Thank you for this review. Simple language, nice speed of speech, relevant logic of recommending this car. Some thing I also would like to hear is the metric system for measurements like how tall the passenger and petrol consumption in litre per a hundred kilometers. All in all, nice done and good luck to your team. 👍
Thank you for this comment. Excellently worded, nice rhythmic flow, relevant to the video it's posted under. Something I would wish to point out is generally we try to say our mesurements in old money and metric or write whichever one we don't say on the screen, the exception being Litres per 100 km but we'll look into doing it from now on. Thank you for your kind words hope you subscribe to see more of our content! 😁
Good straight forward review. I dislike and don't watch reviews when reviewers try to make it fun or funny. Just tell me what I need to know about the car.
Thank you for the feedback! There is occasionally some humour in my videos, but it's primarily about fact 😁
Been pondering over which car to get for under 14k used. Looked at so many. This was on my list and I absolutely love everything about it after watching this video. I love the boring blue, the interior, the rear of the car 😄 I'm not expecting the world but this car seems to be good value and has a lot of nice features. I'm used to road noise and hard plastics. Hopefully i will go and test drive one on Wednesday.
What else have you considered?
Very well explained !! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Pentastic explained thank you bro
You're most welcome! Glad it was clear 😁
Had my dragon red n-line since November and it’s a stunner car. Mine has the 120ps engine which is also a hybrid.
Excellent choice! The N-Line gets the higher-powered 1.0 Turbo as an option exclusive to that trim 😁
I have this in the Premium spec in Black, with the DCT Auto. Brilliant car. It’s a real head turner. Love the auto box, works really well. Has everything you could possibly want equipment wise. Been perfectly reliable in the time I’ve had it. Well worth being on anyone’s shopping list if they’re after a small hatch!
Absolutely! Couldn't agree with you more 😅 Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts ☺️
Absolutely beautiful car and thanks for a really thorough review 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching
I own this car
@@javascriptdevlp it's excellent, great choice 🙂
Got my i20 less than a month ago, and love this car! it’s the best one!!!
It's a brilliant little hatchback - glad you're enjoying owning it!
i have the se connect model (base model) it is a really good car and the spec you get with it as standard is great, also quite nippy for a 1 litre engine
I also Have this car.and i love it.
@tarjapartanen8126 it's a good car!
You are probably the only reviewer who pronounced "hyundai" correctly
I do try 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️
In Korean is actually "hyeon-dae" which is an adverb meaning "contemporary".
Yes I would tend to agree although I think the IX 20 mini mpv was the better design decision for most motoring. The UK has been obsessed with corsas and fiestas while Hyundai quietly take over the world 😊
The ix20 is definitely more spacious, but the mini MPV looks were nowhere near as popular as conventional hatchbacks. Hyundai are doing some sterling work with all their products at the moment.
I love the larger infotainment screen but the smaller version has wireless carplay and Android auto whereas I believe the larger one is wired only.
If that is the case it is probably down to the maximum resolution the wireless carplay protocol is set up to transmit.
Love all about the car except all the angularity because of dents etc also dct hyundai/kia have problems. The rest superb. Great review fellah
We've not seen many reports of dct problems with these models, but it is also available in a manual if that's more to your tastes! Thanks for watching ☺️
I have liked this car for a while. It is interesting how the i20 has been on sale for some time and really only now seems to be gaining traction, possibly because the Ford Fiesta will not be sold for much longer and manufacturers are all 'up-sizing' for greater profit?
Well a lot of the press coverage has been dominated by the N version, I see plenty of them about though and I expect I'll only see more as other marques leave the segment
Nice colour combo
It's gorgeous isn't it?
Very professional review thanks a lot , the boss offer to take Mazda 2 2023 or I 20 2023 ?
The i20 will undoubtedly be more fun to drive. Similar cars on a lot of other levels.
@@BuckleUpShow thanks a lot
Can you please compare between it and the Corsa, the petrol models mainly ?
Yes of course, it's better than the Corsa
Is it fitted with an attachable front towing eye?
It is indeed. As with most vehicles, the included tool kit in the boot does come with one of these. No spare wheel though 😭
i have the se connect model, just bought it. theres no option to turn the front fog lights on/off but there is for the back fog light. at night the headlights are on along with the white led lights underneath, is this normal ?
Yes
@@BuckleUpShow thanks for the quick reply, was just wondering as my last car never did this and had fog lights in the same place as these lights, they are just the daytime running lights on my car lol silly me
Sometimes lighting can be baffling 😅
gorgeous looking car
It really is!
I dont get why Hyundai put in a declutch when all cars shut off the fuel when decelerating anyway. It can also make the car unstable.
It's because by declutching you can shut the engine off completely, allowing the car to coast without extra resistance from engine braking. The car cuts back in as soon as you go near the accelerator so the coasting process is fully automated.
Opel Corsa or Hyundai i20? Can’t choose which one to buy can u give me some advice?
Hyundai i20 all day. The powertrain is better and the car drives really well. Corsa is good and the interior has some soft materials in, but as an overall package the i20 is better.
the i20 100%, the spec you get as standard even in the base model is really good and they are nippy for a 1 litre engine (i have a 2023 model). also the ease of driving the i20 makes it a great choice (i have the automatic version but my friend has the same car in manual) have swapped cars for 10 minutes on some private land he owns and we both agreed the manual and automatic are both great !
I'm going to be buying i20 N line are they good?
Yes they are!
Great review. Had a mk1 i20. Cars now have just become too expensive for the average working person. Also the mk2 looks better than this
Car prices have increased in line with increasing capability, equipment and inflation. With the way new vehicles are purchased shifting more towards financing, too, it means that people can afford the cars, they just may never own them!
@@BuckleUpShowspeak for yourself.
the 1.0 turbo is 99 bhp but the mild hybrid 1.0 T is rated at 120ps ie 118 BHP
The model I had from Hyundai on loan was the 1.0 T-Gdi 48V 100ps. They have offered the mild hybrid powertrain in two different states of tune, and the one I filmed with was the lower-powered of the two in the i20
Which verison is this?
7:42 - Ultimate
seems like swift is a better value about 5.5K less, dont you think ? specially that it consumes 2 liters less
There’s a difference between something costing less and something being better value for money.
@@BuckleUpShow for a similary speced one it costs 5.5 k which would you chose in this case ?
We've told you this before on the Swift Sport video, and the answer is still the same - we prefer the i20.
Had it on hire as a courtesy car for 2 months. Absolutely detested the i20. It’s not a drivers car, you feel far too disconnected from the road while behind the wheel of this. Lights are rubbish at night, too heavy of fuel for what it is. 100% would not recommend.
What is your daily driver?
Year and trim please?
2022; Ultimate (7:41)
Better than mini cooper how?
Less expensive, better standard equipment, more modern styling
@@BuckleUpShow thanks how about ibiza vs i20
i20 will be significantly more fun to drive. Also available as a mild hybrid which is a welcome fuel efficiency boost in today's market. If you're not sure, why not test drive a few cars.
@@BuckleUpShow crazy hiw everyone choses i20...even autogehful
Have you ever considered it might be because it's a very good car?
Only problem is the backend of the car😣
What about it do you find offensive?
@@BuckleUpShow just not a fan of the rear lights
Hey first to view yeah
Thanks for watching!
You lost me at 'dual clutch'.
The i20 is also available as a manual, but the dual-clutch box is actually very good. Paired with the MH system it works tremendously well.
It looks hideous at the rear.
That’s a horrible thing to say about Jasper
@BuckleUpShow 😂😂😂 Jasper looks like Tom Daley, but more handsome 😮
Ooh you flatterer 😅😅
Greatest hatchback ever...
That's actually the second generation Ford Mondeo
