Hyundai have gone from not existing 30 years ago to entrenching the brand as substantial global player in the motoring industry, and South Africa is no exception.
The brand occupies third place in overall passenger vehicle sales, trailing only VW and Toyota. The secret to their success has been attractive packages at attractive prices, particularly in the crossover and compact SUV segments.
But the premium compact hatch segment is fiercely competitive. With stalwarts such as the VW Polo, Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio and Opel Corsa in the mix, the i20 has to be a solid offering to stand a chance.
The segment is also under pressure from a new crop of compact crossovers, in the form of cars such as the Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Nissan Magnite and Kia Sonet, all of which cost less than this top-of-the-range i20.
So, how does the i20 compare? Well, Ciro De Siena tries to answer all your questions in this review. Enjoy!
2021 Hyundai i20 price in South Africa (as of July 2021)

Great review. But a top spec with no daytime running lights, halogens & no sunroof? Why don’t these guys understand that style & looks are everything for South Africans?🤦🏽‍♂️

I bought a Hyundai i20 1.4 Fluid 6 Speed Manual out of the box in February 2015, the shape before this one. Travelling to Europe on a regular basis from middle 2015, especially Germany, you actually see that Hyundai South Africa is quite different from Hyundai Europe, the same spec Hyundai here in South Africa has much less features than the same spec in Europe. I mentioned this to the sales person that I bought my Hyundai from, the 1.4 Fluid being my second Hyundai, previously the 1.6 5 speed manual 2010 model. He just raised his shoulders. Needless to say, he left South Africa with his family, now working for Hyundai UK, and to be very honest, I think my next purchase will be in the direction of the Haval Jolion, also reviewed here, and from a money point of view, more car for your buck. So sad to see Hyundai SA not listening to their customers.

@rljmofokeng 2 года назад

I think it's the market in SA. A Polo and a Micra start at about R315 000. A higher specced vehicle would be unaffordable. Everything is crazy man. Haval Jolion is excellent value, but it's fuel consumption is wild. You're getting screwed one way or another.

I read most of the comments here and I gathered one thing from the most : change is difficult, most of people ant happy about the new design, they'd rather be stuck with the old generation, well, heads up guys all the Hyundai models are changing and will look almost the same, look at the New Hyundai Tucson and Elantra and i10 all the similar changes.... As for me I like the changes, mostly the interior trim of their N cars

Great Review Ciro, The instrument cluster looks like a digital version of the Chev utility funny enough, I would not buy one because its just too plastic, at R330 000 that is no longer a budget vehicle for the majority. You are right, the crossover segment is better at this price, and the only downside to the crossovers you mentioned was the Airbag quantity, but they have much more spec than this Hyundai i20 and will sell for more after a few years
