What we liked

- Rear legroom tight for tall adults
The Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDi Fluid DCT is among the best-value new cars in South Africa. At R349,900, it comes with 88kW, a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, six airbags, lane keep assistance and Hyundai''s 5-year/90,000km warranty. Few competitors at this price match this specification. The 1.0T engine is rev-happy and responsive; the DCT gearbox suits city driving well.
The verdict
Hyundai's i20 continues to offer exceptional value for first-time and budget-conscious buyers. The safety and technology package available at R349,900 would have cost R500,000+ from a European brand five years ago.
