Hey Marek buddy - I just discovered your channel, love your style of honest and funny/sarcastic reviews. You are certainly helping Me and the Missus decide our next car...Thanks
It is a great small car overall; it is amazing in the city and good on the highway, where you feel the lack of power, but you can drive easily around the speed limits. The 2014 model we have does not stink at all on the inside. One issue we still have is with the first gear and the reverse, it does not always get there on the first try. The clutch set was changed and it did not help at all, the original one was worn-out around 50% at 30 thousand kilometers.
haha "I don't like the seats or the stinky plastics" . We need more reviews like this. I don't like chimes and dings on cars ie when you have the door open, etc - no reviewer says stuff like that. But you do. Thanks
In India, It is also known as Hyundai Nios. There are two difference between India Spec and Europe Spec 1) In India Spec, LED DRL are different from Europe Spec 2) In India, This car has digital speedometer rather than Analog Speedometer in Europe
I will be buying this or a Kia Picanto, not sure which one yet. Being able to select reverse whilst on the move with the i10 bothers me! How could that be possible? Great review though, as usual, thanks.
You are also wrong, this car doesn't come with xenon (XID) front lights, but with what is called, projector head beam. its a standard bulb, only housed with Lens assembly in front of it for better focusing illumination on the road. this is why you searched for XID illumination - and could not find any :-) **besides, XID is old tech by now, the industry has already replaced XID for LED projection lights every where, from toyota to jaguar. no more XID is being manufactured.
0-100 kph sometime next week and stinky plastics aside, :) for me, at least, those little cars are the best small cars around. True, you can see and smell the cheapness... But those little things are very well equipped and the version with the 82-84 bhp engine are zippy. Excellent review. Oh, I believe Hyundai also offers 7 year warranty with those aswell.
I’m getting the auto 1.2 for teaching in. As I’m not expecting a rocket-ship I reckon I’ll be okay. Thoughts? I love your videos by the way. Please keep them coming.
Good review. looks a good car How does it compare to your review of the previous I10 in terms of noise ? The previous version you said it was a very quiet car
Greetings from Romania! I just noticed on our website that they reduced the 84 hp to 79 and switched the i 30 1.5 Dpi 110 hp with a 1.5 Mpi 96 hp. Do you know if it’s a whole new engine or the same 1.5 modified?
Did you buy the car in another country? Where? Also does the rear load cover have strings to prop it up when you open the tailgate or not? Because I've seen several videos about the car and some have strings, while some don't (like the car in this video).
@@SulkinWolsla I have had the char for a month now. And its the perfect little city car. I use it for 130km a day pendling to and from work with around 40km on the highway. The autopilot is smooth as fuck, the Lane assist is very prompt but unintrusive. All the small details, gadgets etc Are so well done. Its plasticy in the cabin in places but I Will gladly take that and then have All the other things. I am very pleased with My purchase. And if you have Any question let me know and ill try to answet them.
@@SulkinWolsla No regrets. My first New car as well. I looked at the aygo, the c1, C3 etc. Test drive them All. And none of them came close to the New i10. You wont regret it. Enjoy ^^
I would say if you need to drive on the motorway frequently, you may want to get something like the Opel Mokka, which is considerably more expensive, but surprisingly well soundproofed (or maybe it's the aerodynamics).
i still drive a Huyndai Atos thats the predecessor of the i10 and i got to say dude! I don t give a damm about auto ignorant girls! The thing is 20 years old still going quite strong and my wife likes the ride with this.
Options like these can differ across markets. Sometimes carmakers need to keep the price down to a certain level, and they get rid of non-essential options.
@@vvp1002 This is a city car. I think both of these engines are suitable for the City - no turbo, no particulate filter. If you buy a city car, I think it's important it will work well in the city. When you get out of the city, of course it's gonna be slow, but it's to be expected. I think we need to buy cars based on the 80% of needs, not based on the 10 or 20%. If you actually need a car for long trips, maybe you should look at i30 with 1.4 Turbo GDI 140cp or Elantra with 1.6 MPI 128 cp.
Good evolution ! Even though it’s small, is it really a city car ? I read hyundai i10 buyers wanted something affordable at first. Also are you sure for xenon ? Looks like halogen with a lens to me.
I like the i10 but here in South Africa we get stuck with the lower infotainments systems that make it look like a much cheaper and uglier car and features with no ways to upgrade it even though the cost is more
in the city with the 1.2 AMT variant ur no match for any car thats not quick off the line. The power on low speeds its impressive and even on highway it keeps up. 600km on 140km/h and 3 hours in Bucharest trafic got me 5.6l/100. On romanian roads which you cant go more than 100 and mostly 70 on our weekly trips of 75km i often get 3.6l-4l and best it was 3.2l. Its often better than a toyota hybrid at fuel if u dont push the pedal too hard.(not in stading still in city ofc) Its not ment to go fast but it can overtake i would say easy since it revs up to 6.5RPM .
I have the AC3 N - Line, and belive me, although it's not a sport car, nothing can compare, and as you' ve said if the road is clear, consumption is more than decent, but when we drag in bottle - neck huge queues... that's an other story !
I do not agree with the term "city car". there are no cars that are called city cars, unless its the electric club cars that are limited to 25km per hour speed and cost 2000$. this is a mini car category, and it can do everything. also coast to coast USA 4000 km new york to los Angeles with enough comfort. its a 2020 car - not 1940.
@@MarekDrives I am 45 years old Marek. I was a child in the 70s and 80s. we had family cars at that times like the Peugeot 204 or the fiat ritmo and it served us for all needs. to go to work every day and the whole family to trips and vacations and we didn't complain (except for poor reliability of course). compare to those old cars from 40 years ago, the new mini cars of today are like a dream ,including this new i10. I would rather you review the cars from the mini category and treat them as they should be treated. the hi way 100km per hour speed is comfortable and quite in any shape or form. that is how good cars have become today. it is your choice how to category terms, but if you abuse the mini category hinting they are no more than basic transportation not made for hi ways, you are not professional in the automobile industry, at least in this viewer perspective.

@@MarekDrives that is understood. but, calling a mini car - a city car, is a misconception widely spread over the internet wrongly. you are not the only one. those mini segment cars can be good cars, even if they do not drive as good as the bigger family cars that cost twice as much. there is room and place for different levels of products. unlike old machines from 40 years ago , today's mini cars are quite surprising in quality and content for what their price tag suggest. they ride well enough, they are comfort enough, they are quite and not noisy - the industry learned how to suppress noise for small money as well. they have full electrical features, and full safety features like never before. although I can allow my self to drive in a very expensive luxury car, I rather choose smart how I spent my money and if a low cost products still supply me with good enough service, I will choose it easily. the mini cars of 2020, really do supply us with amazing value - performance vs price...
An experienced motoring journalist should not need to get used to a gear change. This video is in English and you keep telling us what you get in Germany. By the way is this what you would call a city car?
OK - the gearbox is crap. Yes, it's in English. Probably about 20% of the world population speaks the language. I use German prices, because I consider them most relevant for the rest of Europe. Is this a city car? Yes. Does it have a city car price? No. But then city cars as we know them are likely to disappear due to emissions and resulting costs to manufacturers and clients.
@@MarekDrives But the UK buys more German cars than anybody else in the world. The manufacturers can not get rid of city cars as we know them because they help to sell other models in their range.
@Graham Johnson the new emission regulations will lead to gradual demise of the city car in Europe. Excess emission fines are applied based on weight of the car, so smaller cars are penalised more, than larger cars. Small city cars could go all electric, like the smart EQ, but that will make them too expensive anyway.
@@MarekDrives But in the end governments will have to allow for this or make you take the bus on a useless route to where you want to go, buses will or do cost about 300,000 GBP so are not economical so some compromises will have to be met. But having said that if MG can produce a reasonably priced car with all their bells and whistles surely a city car without these extras is possible at a reasonable price as they don't require lane guidance etc..
Yes, German prices I use for the English versions of my reviews are crazy. In Poland this car is significantly cheaper, and it also starts something like 4k euro below the Swift.
Noone buys the very base trim. Once you get the mid trim or 1.2 engine (practically - both) you're within price range of the Clio which is very well equipped from the start.
@@MarekDrives That's why I prefaced it with the words "I think". I'm sorry if you found that rude, it wasn't meant to be but I'm guessing you did, otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to be rude yourself. See you next time.
I hate reviewers who tries so hard to make dramatic scripts on their reviews. And also if they are not suitably dressed...makes them looked like a peasant.

It looks and priced not bad......hope petrol engines would be alive after 50 K kms//////
Great review, thanks Marek!
just stumbled upon your channel! love it! even the dad jokes lolllll keep up the great work!!
Have you tested the AMT version?
I hear and read that the AMT sucks...slow changes, swinging effect etc...
Good looking runabout with decent suspension and some tech. Not bad.
The 1L 3 cylinder Turbo engine sounds like a !it of fun. Interested to see how that drives when released
Wish we have these cars in the USA. Petrol is cheap here, so these would really make running it really cheap
Theoretical acceleration ❤️. Followed many a vehicle in which the owner obviously didn’t select a throttle peddle in the configurator

The girl in the story at the introduction sounds a bit shallow.
She liked the car but the guy is clearly not easy on the eyes.
I will be buying this or a Kia Picanto, not sure which one yet. Being able to select reverse whilst on the move with the i10 bothers me! How could that be possible? Great review though, as usual, thanks.
Is he testing the 1.2?
You are also wrong, this car doesn't come with xenon (XID) front lights, but with what is called, projector head beam. its a standard bulb, only housed with Lens assembly in front of it for better focusing illumination on the road. this is why you searched for XID illumination - and could not find any :-)
**besides, XID is old tech by now, the industry has already replaced XID for LED projection lights every where, from toyota to jaguar. no more XID is being manufactured.
A request to all car reviewers , on the title of your videos always mention engine size and whether is manual or automatic ,thnx.

Ipressed by this little city skater. The former was available in factory bivalent LPG is that no longer?.
Not as far as I know.
are the new i10’s gonna sell in America?
Come to Romania, buy the somewhat base model just under 10 000 euro and the 1.2l base model at 10 600 euro.

It’s halogen with a lens.
I’ve taken the bulbs out to look at them, the i30 n line and n have xenon bulbs
It takes you only 1min to make me sympathize you respect
Very Nice Car... I wish it would introduced in PAKISTAN... As this segment has much demand in market...
Is it suitable for tall drivers? 6ft tall/1,85cm or more
I don't know. I seem to be 10 cm too short to answer that one :)
Marek, between this or the Ford ka+ which would be your choice?
I don't think I've seen a Ka+ in real life.
