Hyundai i10 - Interior, design and technology
Good levels of standard equipment and decent on-board tech are welcome, but the i10 is too grey and dull inside
The styling of the i10 has been improved, with Hyundai giving its smallest car a sharper, sportier profile - thanks in part to a 20mm lowered stance and an increase of 20mm in overall width.
There is the opportunity to personalise your i10, with a choice of seven exterior paint colours. Mangrove Green Pearl is standard, while other hues will add a further £550 (with the exception of the £300 Polar White solid paint finish). Premium and N Line versions offer two-tone roof options, while all cars, bar those specified with the N Line trim, feature body-coloured bumpers and mirrors.
Although no longer offered on the price list, the SE versions featured decent levels of standard kit, so if you manage to bag a used model you'll benefit from air-conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth, a DAB radio and a leather-trimmed, multi-function steering wheel. The SE Connect trim adds 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view parking camera and an 8.0-inch infotainment touch screen.
The top-of-the-range Premium line brings larger 16-inch wheels, upgraded upholstery, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Sporty N Line variants include a unique 16-inch alloy wheel design, LED rear lights, branded exterior/interior trim and black cloth seats with red stitching.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
SE Connect versions and above feature an eight-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This works well, with decent graphics and plenty of screen area to show lots of information.
Satellite navigation and a wireless smartphone charging pad are available as part of the optional Tech Pack, which also includes Bluelink - Hyundai’s on-line system which gives drivers extra controls and features via a smartphone app.
