MODEL TESTED: i20 1.0 T-GDi Ultimate PRICE: £24,070 POWERTRAIN: 1.0-litre 3cyl turbo petrol, 99bhp
THE i20 we have here is in top-spec Ultimate trim, so it’s a closer match to the Corsa Ultimate than the GS we’ve lined it up against. The i20 Premium matches the Vauxhall, but both are more expensive to buy whether outright or on finance.
Tech highlights
UPDATES to the i20 range aren’t quite as extensive as the Corsa’s facelift, with the main focus on minor cosmetic tweaks, improved in-car tech and more generous standard kit. Even those changes are minor, though, including jobs such as replacing the USB ports with newer USB-C connections.
The range has been simplified, too, with just the 99bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine offered – the previous 118bhp option has been dropped.
