The last-generation Hyundai i20 was initially offered with a naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre petrol engine. This felt quite underpowered compared to the punchy 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol that replaced it. We'd recommend a diesel for your miles - it'll be more efficient and ought to be very reliable.
