Hyundai ix20 cars

About Hyundai ix20

At first glance, the ix20 is a confusing vehicle, because from the outside it looks small but the inside is huge. This is why it has been coined a supermini MPV and it might just be the most underrated family vehicle on the used car market. 

There are three different trims on offer – Classic, Active and Style – and all variants offer excellent equipment as standard, as you’d expect from a Hyundai.  

Underneath, the ix20 sits on the same platform as the Kia Venga, which adds to its reliability and overall durable appeal. 

Its main rivals are the Nissan Note, Toyota Verso, Ford B-Max, Fiat 500L, and Citroen C3 Picasso. These are all very popular rivals, but with the rise of the SUV have often been forgotten about by consumers – even if they may be better suited to them. 

Is the Hyundai ix20 reliable?

Being a Hyundai pretty much automatically makes the ix20 a reliable car, but considering it sits on the same platform as the Kia Venga, there's even less of a worry to be had because by combining forces, they make some of the best cars on the market.  

Additionally, every used car we sell comes with a free 90-day warranty and the option to upgrade to cinchCare to protect your vehicle in the best possible way. 

In terms of safety, the ix20 scored a full five stars following its Euro NCAP crash testing, thanks to its full set of airbags and traction control system. 

Overall, the ix20 is a very solid little MPV that shouldn’t give you any trouble. 

What are the Hyundai ix20's features?

One thing you may not know about the ix20 is that its interior was styled by the same team who designed the Audi TT. 

It has plenty of nifty storage areas to put bottles, keys, phones, wallets etc, and the controls inside the cabin all work very well. 

The same goes for the rear, where the storage options continue. There’s a surprising amount of room for backseat passengers in this small MPV, meaning you shouldn’t have any issues carrying five people in your ix20. 

The boot measures in at 440 litres and it grows to 1,400 litres with the rear seats folded flat – plenty of space to lug around items from IKEA or lots of shopping. 

What's the Hyundai ix20 like to drive?

Used variants of the ix20 are available with four different engine options – two diesel and two petrol. 

Petrol engines on offer come as either a 1.4-litre or a 1.6-litre, and these are the better options if you plan on driving around towns, doing the school run, or generally completing shorter journeys, because that's where these engines are happiest. 

However, there are also two diesels on offer – a 1.6-litre and a 1.4-litre engine. These would be best suited to those who do longer drives or who carry heavier loads more often, because of the diesel engine’s impressive pulling power.
