The Hyundai i10 Blue has received special recognition at the inaugural Honest John awards this evening as the ‘Most genuinely economical petrol-engined car’... honest it did!
Despite being blue, the i10 is also green, emitting only 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer, so it’s exempt from VED and the London Congestion Charge. The latest i10 introduces the all-new 1.0-litre ‘Kappa’ engine, which replaces the old 1.1-litre ‘Epsilon’ unit. This cutting-edge three-cylinder engine achieves a remarkable 67.3 mpg UK combined: the sort of cheap-to-run credentials that will resonate with customers as the cost of motoring continues to rise.
"Nothing gets our users going quite like fuel economy: when consumption in real life fails to live up to the official published figure, they soon let us know about it. So it's good to be able to reward the models which come closest to matching – or improving on the official fuel consumption figure and the Hyundai i10 Blue is one of the best examples of this by genuinely delivering over 60mpg in real-world driving," Dan Harrison, Editor, HonestJohn.co.uk, commented.
“Hyundai is committed to researching and developing cleaner, more efficient powertrains to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The Blue drive system – which includes an ultra-efficient 1.0-litre petrol engine and Intelligent Stop & Go technology – ensures that the i10 Blue is one of the cheapest cars to buy and run on sale today,” Tony Whitehorn, Hyundai Motor UK managing director, added.
