Introducing the new Hyundai i20
The new Hyundai i20 is a sharp, modern hatchback that feels easy to live with and drive every day. It's the kind of car that makes normal journeys�commutes, lifts to football practice, popping to the shops�feel simpler.
The latest i20 focuses on the things people actually notice: clear screens, smarter safety systems, and small upgrades that make town driving and motorway miles less tiring. You also get the reassurance of Hyundai's strong warranty coverage, which is a big plus if you're buying new and want predictable ownership.
When you're ready, you can book a test drive with Vertu and see which version of the i20 feels right for your daily driving.

- Useful cabin storage: door bins and centre storage keep day-to-day clutter (bottles, cables, snacks) under control
- Parking-friendly size: it's easy to place on the road, and it doesn't feel like hard work in tighter streets or multi-storeys
New Hyundai i20 tech and convenience
- Clutch-by-wire (Intelligent Manual Transmission - iMT) (on selected versions): lift off the accelerator and the system can decouple the engine from the transmission so the car coasts more easily, which can help you save fuel on flowing roads; it also makes it impossible to stall, which takes the pressure off in stop-start traffic
- Rev Matching (on i20 N models, where fitted): hit the dedicated steering wheel button and the car synchronises engine speed for smoother, faster downshifts�handy when you want clean changes without the "lurch" you sometimes feel in a manual
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA): helps you keep on top of changing limits by warning you when you creep over
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC): can adjust your speed for certain road changes ahead, so longer drives feel less demanding
- Lane Following Assist (LFA): helps keep you centred in your lane when you're cruising, which is a real help on motorways and A-roads
- Lane Keeping Assist: steps in if you start to drift
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with cyclist detection: can spot cyclists ahead and help reduce the risk of a knock, especially in busy urban driving

New Hyundai i20 FAQs
Is the new Hyundai i20 easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes, its size makes it straightforward to park in town, and many versions add parking sensors and a rear camera to help you judge corners and kerbs. You'll also appreciate how the driver assistance tech can take some stress out of busy driving, especially when you're dealing with narrow streets and stop-start traffic.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Hyundai i20?
Hyundai typically includes a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty in the UK, which is reassuring if you want predictable ownership. Some parts may have different cover terms, and your retailer can confirm the exact warranty details for the i20 you choose.
Which new Hyundai i20 trim should I choose?
Element suits drivers who want the essentials done well, without paying for extras they won't use. If you like a bit more comfort and a stronger style look, Black Line is a smart step up. Tech Line is a great choice if you want more day-to-day convenience (like keyless entry and easier charging/phone integration on many specs). For a sportier feel and bolder styling, N Line fits the brief, while i20 N is the one to look at if you want the most performance-focused setup.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Hyundai i20?
A fixed plan can make sense if you like knowing your costs upfront, especially if you plan to keep the car for several years. A flexible plan can suit you if your mileage changes year to year and you'd rather adapt as you go. Either way, keeping up with the service schedule helps the i20 run as it should, and it supports your warranty coverage�our teams can talk you through Hyundai servicing options available at Vertu.
Are the tech features of the new Hyundai i20 easy to use?
They are designed to feel simple day to day: clear screens, quick access to key menus, and driver assistance systems that work in the background. If you want a proper feel for the layout, a test drive is the best way to see how naturally the infotainment, cruise systems, and lane support features fit into your driving.
What insurance group is the new Hyundai i20 in?
Insurance groups vary by engine and trim, but many i20 versions sit in the low-to-mid teens. As an example, an i20 Advance 1.0T can sit around group 13, while an i20 N Line version is often higher (commonly in the mid-teens). Your exact quote will still depend on your postcode, driving history, annual mileage, and the i20 specification you choose.
