First introduced in 2008 - the i10 city car has been a huge hit for Korean firm Hyundai. To build on that success, the new model offers fresh engines, including an ultra-efficient 1.0-litre petrol, as well as a more powerful version of the 1.25-litre engine from the previous model. The looks have been changed too, with the hexagonal grille from the Hyundai ix35 SUV at the front and tweaked lights at the rear. The new i10 remains great value, and the revised model now comes with the company's triple care warranty, which ensures peace of mind by offering unlimited mileage cover, free car health checks and roadside assistance for five years. Named Best City Car in our 2011 Car of the Year awards, there's also a 'BLUE' model - the company's first car to dip below the 99g/km C02 barrier - making it free from road tax and the congestion charge in London.
