New Hyundai i20 Blue Now Available from GBP13,195

The British division of Hyundai has just announced the introduction of the i20 Blue model to the UK range, one that brings emissions of just 98g/km CO2 with it. The new Hyundai i20 Blue is based on the current i20 Comfort trim level mated to the 1.4 CRDi 90 PS engine and is priced at £13,195 OTR.

On sale now, the model is fitted with multiple Blue Drive technologies, including Intelligent Stop & Go (ISG), low rolling resistance tyres, rear suspension under cover and rear wheel deflector.

“With these additional features, the i20 Blue achieves a 12% reduction in CO2 emissions (compared with the current 1.4 CRDi 90PS Style i20 model) from 111g/km down to just 98g/km,” the automaker explains.

In terms of fuel efficiency, the model is also praised to deliver a fuel consumption of 76.4mpg combined, a 14% improvement on a combined cycle when compared to the i20 1.4 CRDi 90PS Style model.

This means it would cost approximately £63.00 to fill up the i20 Blue with a tank of diesel and this would generate a range of 755 miles. The i20 Blue also gains exemption from VED and the London Congestion Charge as it emits less than 100g/km CO2.

Standard equipment on the i20 Blue comprises 15-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, electric heated and folding door mirrors, electric front and rear windows, steering wheel audio controls, USB and aux connections air conditioning and remote central locking.
