About the Hyundai i20 GB
The second-generation Hyundai i20 (GB) was designed in Europe to compete directly with the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. While it lacked the sharp handling of the Fiesta, it offered superior interior space, a larger 326-litre boot, and a more mature cabin design. The 1.2-litre SE trim was a popular choice in the UK, balancing essential features like air conditioning and rear parking sensors with low running costs. Its primary appeal to collectors and daily drivers alike was Hyundai's five-year unlimited mileage warranty, which underscored the model's reputation for reliability.
