Priced from £10,695 OTR, the new model is expected to appeal to both private and business drivers, with the latter to benefit from RVs that are amongst the strongest predicted in the segment. In addition, highly competitive contract hire rates start from £137.99 per month while SMR costs are said to be low, with S and Premium models the best in class.

Tony Whitehorn, president & CEO, Hyundai Motor UK said: ‘New Generation i20 is a true competitor in Britain’s most popular vehicle segment. It ticks all the right boxes for fleets and businesses, as well as catering to the needs and tastes of discerning retail customers. The quality, features and specification of this car speak for itself, and we are delighted that this has been demonstrated in the form of strong residual value predictions which are among the best in class.’
