The Hyundai i20 has never been at the forefront of the supermini segment, but it now has a much better chance after the Ford Fiesta is discontinued in 2023. It's probably no coincidence that Hyundai refreshed the i20 just a few months later, with the most recent update focussing primarily on style.
Changes for 2024 include a new grille and bumper to give the i20 a more aggressive appearance, not that it didn't already stand out in its third generation. Several new colours and wheel designs are also introduced, as well as additional equipment and connectivity upgrades.
While Hyundai no longer sells mild hybrid i20s in the UK, the small 1.0-litre petrol engine remains economical. Hyundai claims 53.2mpg and 120g/km for the manual version, while the automatic version is slightly less efficient at 52.3mpg and 122g/km CO2 emissions.
Hyundai i20 Fuel Consumption
It's odd that Hyundai has stopped offering mild hybrids in the UK at a time when many other manufacturers, including Vauxhall and Peugeot, are incorporating the technology into their vehicles. It's relatively inexpensive, and while it doesn't significantly reduce operating costs, any savings are worthwhile.
Full-hybrid vehicles, such as the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris, are the most cost-effective option.
The Hyundai i20 1.1 CRDi Blue is the most fuel-efficient car on sale in the UK, with a combined economy of 88.3mpg, but the Active version, with 74.3mpg, isn't far behind. The i20 has a small, efficient engine, so it will perform well in the official NEDC test, but once you drive it outside of the very low load NEDC cycle, such as on the highway, the engine is out of its optimum operating range, and fuel economy suffers significantly. If you buy this car and make an extra effort to drive it carefully, we're confident you'll get 60mpg or more. However, we would be surprised if the average owner consistently gets more than 70mpg.
The fuel consumption of the Hyundai i20 is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Hyundai i20 variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Hyundai i20 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Hyundai i20 is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
