The Hyundai i10 is a subcompact city car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company. Developed on the same platform as the Kia Picanto, this model is the result of a strategic collaboration between the two brands. Production began in 2007 at Hyundai's plant in Chennai, India. In the European market, the i10 replaced the Hyundai Atos and was designed to compete with models like the Fiat Panda and Chevrolet Spark.
The i10 features a smooth, rounded design with minimal sharp edges, giving it a friendly and approachable appearance—perfect for navigating busy urban environments. Despite its compact dimensions, the interior is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. The well-contoured front seats provide excellent support, even on longer journeys. While rear seat space is more limited, it can still comfortably accommodate two adults. The high roofline contributes to the roomy feel and gives the car a slight resemblance to a mini-MPV, without compromising its well-balanced proportions.
The boot offers 225 litres of cargo space, which is average for this segment. The dashboard design is simple and user-friendly, focusing on functionality and ergonomics rather than flashy aesthetics.
Under the hood, the Hyundai i10 is available with two petrol engines: the 1.2-litre Kappa and the 1.1-litre Epsilon. Additionally, there's a 1.1-litre three-cylinder CRDi VGT diesel engine delivering 75 hp. Power is sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox or an optional four-speed automatic transmission.
The standard tyre size for the Hyundai i10 is 155/70 R13.
Optional tyre sizes include 165/60 R14 and 175/60 R14.
