About the Hyundai i10 IA
The second-generation Hyundai i10 (IA) represented a significant leap forward for the brand, moving production for European markets to Turkey and focusing on refinement. Unlike its budget-focused predecessor, the IA generation offered a more sophisticated interior and ride quality that rivalled the Volkswagen Up!. The 1.0-litre SE trim was the sweet spot of the range, providing essential comforts like air conditioning and cruise control in a package that felt remarkably stable at motorway speeds. It remains a highly regarded used buy for its reliability, low running costs, and surprisingly spacious five-seat cabin.
