As such, we’d like to take the opportunity to discuss several key factors on what makes the Hyundai i10 such a fantastic vehicle. Let’s head on over to the first point below:
An Overview on Hyundai i10 Specifications
For starters, the i10 has several innovative motoring integrations that make it stand out from other cars in its category:
Sporty Hyundai i10 Exterior
If a motorist wants to impress mainly on how a car looks, then the i10 will not fail in the design category. Boasting of a modern and athletic exterior, the Hyundai i10 will surely make heads turn on how dazzling it looks. A prominent feature is its cascading grille, which is accentuated with round LED lights. Even more impressive is the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) feature of the mentioned light fixtures – proving that the car leaves a mark 24/7 on the road!
Additionally, and to emphasize on Hyundai’s balance of integrating functional design, are the fog lamps placed low in the i10’s bumper. Not only does this design element look great – the illumination created from this position creates a better and wider view for drivers driving in foggy road or weather conditions!

Beautiful Hyundai i10 Interior
Now, here’s where the i10 truly delights. The interior design fuses beautiful craftmanship without losing out on important motoring performance and cargo needs. It may not be visibly apparent, but the Hyundai i10 has one of the largest and most spacious trunks in its vehicle category or class. With a luggage capacity of 252 liters, one will never bother with dealing with carrying large loads and the like during trips.

Even more impressive is that the i10 can even expand its already large trunk space to a whopping 1,046 liters capacity! With space-saving and smart adjustments done on the rear seats, more can be loaded onto the car – a feat on its own, for this is still a hatchback we’re talking about!
And just like outside, several subtle yet impressive design and functional elements have been integrated inside:
Light it Up
The i10 does not leave drivers or passengers in the dark. The glove box comes with a bright illumination fixture, making sure motorists are sure to find whatever they’ve stored in that compartment. Also, turning the tailgate open automatically opens the trunk light – a welcome and safe integration assuring an individual that he or she does not need to second guess when loading (or unloading) cargo during dark situations.
Keep it Cool
Another subtle touch would be the several water or bottle holders located in the vehicle. With all doors having a safe place to store liquid, individuals can cool down without having to bother with drips, spills, or worse, accidents!
The Hyundai i10 Automatic Wonder
Now, when it comes to motoring performance, the i10 can be considered as a top-tier car. A 4-speed automatic transmission car, the i10 can deliver the power and speed should a driver demand for it. The i10’s 1.25 MPi gasoline engine, which delivers a maximum power output of 87 PS (at 6,000 RPM), gives just the right amount of oomph and control for safe and exciting drives.
