Hyundai’s revised i20 lineup in the UK starts at £19,995 OTR, and the car at that price is the Element 1.0T 90PS with a six-speed manual. You don’t have to buy the cheapest one to get the clutch, either. Every trim offers it.
Hyundai Motor UK cut the i20 down to three trims, Element, Black Line and Tech Line, and kept one engine for all of them: a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with 90PS. Each trim comes with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch. There’s no hybrid in this range, so a supermini buyer who wants to shift for themselves still gets to.
The official prices
These are the OTR prices from Hyundai Motor UK’s i20 pricing release:
- Element 1.0T 90PS 6MT: £19,995
- Element 1.0T 90PS 7DCT: £21,245
- Black Line 1.0T 90PS 6MT: £22,945
- Black Line 1.0T 90PS 7DCT: £24,195
- Tech Line 1.0T 90PS 6MT: £24,245
- Tech Line 1.0T 90PS 7DCT: £25,495
- Tech Line 6MT with Tech Pack: £25,245
- Tech Line 7DCT with Tech Pack: £26,495
Choosing the manual saves you £1,250 on every trim. The £1,000 Tech Pack adds a BOSE sound system and a sunroof. Hyundai’s i20 trims and prices page currently shows the same three starting figures and also lists an N Line S from £24,750.
The clutch
This is the reason the i20 is on Autogonzo today. Hyundai’s specification table marks the 1.0T 90PS 6MT as available on Element, Black Line and Tech Line, so the manual isn’t held back for a stripped-out fleet special. The top Tech Line with the Tech Pack, sunroof and BOSE audio still comes with three pedals. The manual is also quicker. Hyundai quotes 0–62 mph in 11.5 seconds for the 6MT and 12.8 seconds for the 7DCT, with top speeds of 112 mph and 111 mph. Both gearboxes get the same 172 Nm (127 lb-ft) of torque from 1,500 to 3,000 rpm. Hyundai’s own numbers say the manual is cheaper, quicker and just as strong as the auto.
What each trim gets
Element includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, cruise control, manual air conditioning, Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist. Black Line adds 16-inch black alloys, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, LED headlights and taillights, privacy glass, and heated front seats and steering wheel. Tech Line adds 17-inch alloys, automatic air conditioning, wireless charging, front parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, ambient lighting and keyless entry with push-button start.
Hyundai lists eight colours: Mangrove Green Pearl, Atlas White, Phantom Black Pearl, Aurora Grey Pearl, Lumen Grey Pearl, Dragon Red Pearl, Lucid Lime Metallic and Vibrant Blue Pearl.
