Detailed analysis of the Hyundai i20 5p 1.2i City 85 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2012 Hyundai i20 presents itself as a faithful companion for the urban jungle. It's not a car that shouts, but one that whispers confidence and practicality. It is the smart choice for those looking for an economical, reliable, and surprisingly spacious vehicle for its size, a loyal friend for everyday life.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, its 85 horsepower feels lively and willing, especially in the city. The 1.2 gasoline engine is flexible and revs happily, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission with a pleasant feel. It doesn't aim for acceleration records, but its agility and low consumption bring a smile to your face at every traffic light. It's a car that feels light and easy to drive, conveying a sense of control and simplicity that is appreciated in traffic.
Design and aesthetics
Its design, updated in 2012, abandoned straight lines for more fluid and organic shapes, inspired by Hyundai's 'Fluidic Sculpture' philosophy. The result is a car with a more modern and attractive appearance than its predecessor. Its compact dimensions make it perfect for parking in any spot, but its five doors and a 295-liter trunk reveal a more practical and versatile interior than its exterior suggests.
Technology and features
The onboard technology is just what was necessary for its time, focused on functionality. It features electric power steering that facilitates maneuvering and a braking system with discs on all four wheels, ventilated at the front, ensuring safe stopping. The heart of the i20, its aluminum engine with indirect injection, is an example of simple and efficient engineering, designed for durability and low consumption.
Competition
At its launch, the Hyundai i20 faced giants of the B-segment. It had to compete with rivals of the caliber of the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio, SEAT Ibiza, and Volkswagen Polo. Each had its own strengths, but the i20 managed to carve out a niche for itself thanks to its excellent price-to-equipment ratio and a reliability that was already becoming legendary for the Korean brand.
Conclusion
The 85 hp Hyundai i20 1.2 is much more than just a utility car. It is a rational and emotionally satisfying purchase. A car that won't let you down, that will look after your wallet with its low consumption and maintenance, and that will get you to your destination with unexpected comfort and reliability. It is the personification of peace of mind on four wheels.
