Is my new Hyundai i20 in the £30 tax bracket?

I bought my i20 last year and love it - you were very helpful. Anyway, I have just read an email and in your reply you say "the larger, Punto-sized Hyundai i20 1.2 is also in the £30 tax bracket". Well - mine is not. Should it be? Or are you talking about the latest model, maybe the ix20? It would be great if my i20 was in that bracket. I await your reply with anticipation.

Very confusing. It was 124g/km up to July 2010, then 119g/km from July 2010. So it was £90 tax. New ones are now £30 tax. Even the official VCA website has not caught up with this.
