The Hyundai i20 is Hyundai's petrol supermini hatchback, offered with a 1-litre turbo engine in manual or automatic form and seven trims from Element to N Line S. This page explains who it suits, what each trim adds and how to choose before you look at the live lease deals.
The Hyundai i20 is a five-door petrol supermini: about 4.04 m long, five seats, a 352-litre boot and a 5-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty. It's aimed at drivers who want a small car that still carries adults in the back without complaint.
In Hyundai's line-up it sits below the family hatchbacks and SUVs, and it's one of the simplest cars the brand sells - one body style, one engine family, no plug. Reviewers consistently praise how much standard kit it carries and how roomy it feels for the class.
The choice is straightforward: one hatchback body, a 1-litre turbo petrol with manual or automatic gears, and seven trims - Element, Advance, Black Line, Premium, Tech Line, Ultimate and N Line S.

The i20 is the current, facelifted third-generation car, on sale in this form since 2023. It's a conventional front-wheel-drive supermini with sharp, creased styling and a cabin built around a digital screen layout that's easy to live with.
Road testers reliably make the same two points: rear space and equipment are strong for a small car, while the plastics inside feel harder than the best rivals. Several also note a firm edge to the ride on the bigger wheels.
Practically, you get five seats, 352 litres of boot space with the rear seats up and 1,165 litres with them folded, a 10.4 m turning circle and a 40-litre fuel tank. The 5-year, unlimited-mileage warranty is backed by a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee.
Because the standard specification is unusually complete for a supermini, which matters more on a lease than a long options list you'd pay for outright. Every i20 gets built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio and air conditioning.
Safety and assistance kit is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, automatic high beam, automatic headlights, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors. There's no spare wheel - a tyre repair kit is supplied instead.
Day to day, it's a small car that doesn't punish passengers. The boot copes with a weekly shop and a pushchair, and braked towing is rated at 910 kg (450 kg unbraked) if you pull a small trailer. Kerb weight is 1,065-1,095 kg, so it stays light on its feet.
There's one engine, so the real decision is manual or automatic. Nothing in the range needs charging.
A three-cylinder turbo petrol with 89-99 bhp and 172-201 Nm, driving the front wheels through a 6 or 7-speed gearbox. WLTP economy is 47.9-52.3 mpg, CO2 120-134 g/km, 0-62 mph takes 11.1-12.8 seconds and insurance groups run from 9 to 15. Reviewers find it willing rather than quick, and the manual gearshift a genuine pleasure.

All seven trims share the same engine family and the same safety kit, so you're choosing wheels, screens and comfort features rather than ability.
The entry car, with 89 bhp, 16-inch silver alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, a digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with DAB radio and navigation, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob.

The Black Line is currently available from £257.08 a month. Against the Advance, that is currently £7.49/mo more expensive.

The Tech Line is currently available from £334.14 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £70.50/mo more expensive.

An electric sunroof is available as an option. The N Line S is currently available from £271.15 a month. Against the Ultimate, that is currently £9.80/mo cheaper. Best value
A Tech Pack is offered as an add-on to a trim rather than as a trim in its own right. Nine paint colours run across the range, from Atlas white to Lucid lime and Mangrove green - our team can check what's buildable before you commit.
Worth a look alongside the i20: the Vauxhall Corsa, the Volkswagen Polo, the Audi A1 and the Citroën C3. You'll find the rest of the range on our Hyundai leasing pages.
