Every new Hyundai sold in Australia is covered by a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty and lifetime service plan, with costs ranging from around $150 to $300 per service. But what happens when that new Hyundai is a WRC World Rally Car? To find out more about how service and WRC works, we’re here at Rally Australia – the 10th round of this year’s World Rally Championship – with Hyundai Motorsport Team Manager Alain Penasse...
Hyundai Europe has revealed its brand-new i20 city car with claimed best-in-class safety and infotainment tech, and a 48V mild-hybrid engine.

The next-generation Hyundai i20 has been teased with a pair of renderings ahead of the car's debut at the 2020 Geneva motor show in March.

The Hyundai i20 Active appealed to me, as it appeared to be built well, and it was awarded a five star safety rating. Since traveling 40,000km I've noticed the interior isn't of the best quality, its constructed from hard black plastic, with cheap silver painted plastic, in my experience the silver painted plastic on the A/C knob and the stereo has worn off...
For the last few months I have been in between cars, and have been handed the keys to a number of vehicles while I await my new chariot. The most recent of these is a Hyundai i20 – an unassuming hatchback commonly seen delivering pizzas, parking in rental lots, and copping abuse at the hands of learners...
A Hyundai i20 is a very cheap car. Precisely $13,990 for a 1.4 three door with five-speed manual. That's pretty good for a car with five-star ANCAP rating, six airbags and stability control, an incredibly loud stereo with Bluetooth and Aux and IPod input. Even power windows and power folding mirrors...
Not very good value for money considering what I could have saved buying a run-out Hyundai Getz or the more powerful engine and additional features I could have got if I paid a little extra for the Hyundai i30.
