Hyundai i10 bags industry award

Hyundai's most popular model has been given the Best City Car prize at the CarBuyer Awards.

The Hyundai i10 was picked out of all new vehicles in its sector for its fuel efficiency, running costs and reliability, while judges also noted how stylish its newest incarnation is.

Editor Dan Strong said the i10 looks "better than ever" and is also highly affordable.

Hyundai Motor UK managing director Tony Whitehorn accepted the award at the Geneva Motor Show.

"The i10 is a fantastic city car that has received wide industry praise since it was first launched in 2008. With the facelift model on sale, the i10 is even better, offering consumers a great all round package," Mr Whitehorn stated.

Meanwhile, the Hyundai ix20 was recently awarded a maximum five-star rating from independent vehicle assessment organisation Euro NCAP, scoring 85 per cent for child safety, 71 per cent for safety assist and 89 per cent for adult occupants.
