The i10? Isn’t that a highway?

It is, and ‘the 10’ stretches all the way from California to Florida. Hyundai has altogether different ideas for its i10, because this is their new city car. It replaces the unloved Amica, and is the second Hyundai to get the ‘i’ tag, no doubt annoying Apple in the process.

Actually, no. The i10 is exactly the same length (3565mm) and width (1595mm). Apparently this makes it ‘a pleasure to park in tight car parks’. The wheelbase is also the same 2380mm as the Amica, which is 40mm longer than the Toyota/Citroen/Peugeot triplets. The i10 press release also takes a dig at the trio, declaring that baby Hyundai ‘has a proper tailgate rather than just a piece of glass’.
