HYUNDAI ix20 · photos, packages and modifications

The supermini-sized Hyundai ix20 is becoming as a popular choice for young families mainly because of the characteristics such as versatile and practical interior options. It is designed as the neat one that would provide every single bit of it as big inside such as the Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra cars along with the compact body work, which can be able to give smaller footprint and making it as easier one to park in a reliable way. The driving would become as easy one because of the elevated driving position along with the excellent visibility option.

This model is available with three different trims including Style, Classic and Active. All the models are offered along with the plenty of kit, but the style badge cars are treated as the most luxurious one. It has the first rate build quality along with the fit and finish of the cabin as to be easily matched with the competitors such as the Honda Jazz. The chassis and engines used in this model are the same as the Kia Venga. But, looking of Hyundai is better than Kia both inside and outside look.

The Hyundai ix20 was managed by the team of Peter Schreyer who is the Audi TT designer, along with the show. Inside the car, it has the dashboard in the color of piano black along with the shiny silver trim and the instruments are available with the distinctive blue back lighting. Covers and seat fabric of the Hyundai are appeared along with the signature honeycomb pattern on the speakers.

It can offer the good view of the road through high-set driving position, but the thick A-pillars would cause the blind spots of it as worrying one. On the positive side, the ix20 has the six-speed manual box that offers slick action along with the tall top gear to offer relaxed cruising in a better way. Major theme of this car is comfort and it is highly appreciated through the supple suspension. In order to make the driving manners of ix20 as suitable for the UK roads, Hyundai worked very hard and resulted in the great success. Even though ix20 is not able to match with the Nissan Note for offering agility and fun, it is capable of winding roads in a better way. If the engines are the only reason to offer more power, then the latest 1.6 liter engine would probably be the best for ix20, which can be able to take it in 12.2 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 mph.

In the case of quality, there is a little complaint about this because of the structure that is similar to the competitors. The cabin of ix20 is screwed together inside. Even though overall effect is very impressive one, some of the plastics used inside it makes trim looks and feels as a little cheap. The ix20 scored out the full five-stars in the Euro NCAP crash test because of the full set of airbags available for both driver and passengers along with the standard traction control.

Appearance of ix20 is compact one on the outside, but it is very huge inside. There is plenty of space available inside for front and rear seat passengers along with the lots of innovative storage solutions as cabin features, which would probably be treated as the perfect one for families. There are also some other clever design details available inside along with the under seat storage bins options. Compared to the new Ford Focus, the boot space is more with 440 liter. When the rear seats are folded flat, then it can get up to 1,440 liter load bay. Even though it is not big as the Vauxhall Meriva, the space available with this is not the one normally gets through some vans.
