Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 58 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

When it comes to Hyundai i20 Active running costs you’ve got just the one engine to choose, the 1-litre petrol which offers a combined fuel economy of 58.9mpg – not as impressive as the Ford Fiesta with the EcoBoost engine, but still pretty high.

You’ve just got the one 1-litre petrol to choose from in the i20 Active range which produces CO2 emissions of 110g/km. Although not class leading, tax and running costs should stay low.

There haven’t been any major recalls for Hyundai products over the past few years so we’re expecting the reliability of your Hyundai i20 Active to be very good.

The extra ground clearance and protective skid-plates should enable the car to cope well with muddy roads and light snow. Couple that with a good-quality interior and the i20 Active is well-equipped to deal with most things everyday family life has to throw at it.
