The previous generation i10 was always regarded as a great buy in its class, but now with the new one, Hyundai has really come into its own.

It recently won a comparative test facing the new Toyota Aygo and the VW Up!, impressing with its ride, space and interior practicality.

Hyundai was good at making small cars way before it was good at making them nice to sit in, but now that these two qualities have met up, they’re doing great. This second-generation i10 has a lot going for it, especially now that it looks all planted and confident.

The Aygo was still rated as the best styled, but it ultimately lost out due to its poor ride and lack of boot space. In the case of the Up!, it was its bland steering and scratchy interior that made it fall out of favor.
