Detailed analysis of the Hyundai i10 1.2 MPi 87 CV Aut. Style (2013-2014)
General description
The 2014 Hyundai i10 is not just a car; it's a statement of intent for the city. This little giant, with its 87-horsepower engine and automatic transmission, was born to conquer the urban asphalt with a mix of agility and comfort that you'll fall in love with from the first moment. It's the perfect solution for anyone looking for a faithful, practical companion with a heart that beats with energy.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the i10 feels right at home. Its compact size and incredible turning radius make it the king of narrow streets and impossible parking spots. The 1.2-liter engine, while not aiming for speed records, responds with the necessary liveliness to move smoothly through traffic. The 4-speed automatic gearbox prioritizes smoothness, making every journey a breath of fresh air, letting you forget the stress of traffic jams. On the highway, it holds its own with composure, although its true home is, without a doubt, the urban jungle.
Design and aesthetics
Its design was a giant leap, abandoning simple shapes to embrace a more European, mature, and attractive style. Every line seems designed to convey dynamism and charm. Inside, you're greeted by a surprisingly spacious and well-utilized space. Despite the hard plastics, the feeling is one of solidity and good fit, with a logical and functional dashboard design that makes you feel at home. Its five doors and a 252-liter trunk are proof that a small car can be immensely practical.
Technology and features
For a city car of its time, the Style trim came loaded with details that made your life easier. It featured elements that were not so common in its segment, such as automatic climate control or keyless entry and start, details that pamper you in your daily life. The electric power steering and, of course, the automatic transmission, were technologies focused on offering a relaxed and uncomplicated driving experience, a small luxury in the daily hustle and bustle.
Competition
In 2014, the i10 faced fierce competition in the city car segment. It had to measure up against titans like the Volkswagen Group trio, consisting of the Volkswagen Up!, the SEAT Mii, and the Skoda Citigo, as well as the iconic Fiat 500 and the ever-original Renault Twingo. Its cousin, the Kia Picanto, also represented a very strong alternative, sharing many of its virtues.
Conclusion
The Hyundai i10 1.2 Aut. Style is much more than just a means of transportation; it's an intelligent and reliable urban life companion. Its greatest virtue is balance: it's agile, spacious for its size, well-equipped, and its driving is a balm of peace thanks to the automatic transmission. Although its fuel consumption and highway performance are not its strongest points, it compensates with an ease of use and practicality that win you over. It's a purchase of the heart and mind for anyone who lives and breathes the city.
