Hyundai’s highest selling car, the i10, has won the ‘Best City Car’ title in the CarBuyer awards.

The Hyundai i10 has added another award to its collection, taking home the Best City Car title at this year's CarBuyer.co.uk awards.

A recent revamp of the i10 has refreshed the car's styling and introduced new engines with improved fuel efficiency, lower CO2 emissions, and better performance.

The judging panel at CarBuyer.co.uk rated and reviewed every new model on sale in the UK for the awards, judging them on performance, reliability, customer satisfaction, fuel consumption and running costs, and safety. The editor of CarBuyer, Dan Strong, commented on the choice of the Hyundai i10 as the winner of the City Car category, saying:

"A recent redesign means that the Hyundai i10 looks better than ever. It has always been affordable, economical to run, fun to drive and very practical, but now it's stylish and well made too. For our money, there's no better city car around."

"The new Hyundai i10 represents a big step up in terms of quality and desirability, yet it remains great value for money. What's more, 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. There's also a fuel efficient '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. Don't be fooled by the compact dimensions, the versatile interior means you really can transport a growing family and all that travels with it".

The Managing Director of Hyundai Motor UK, Tony Whitehorn, accepted the award on behalf of his firm saying that the company was 'very proud' to receive the accolade.

The Hyundai i10 costs from £8,195 OTR.
