98 g/km Hyundai i20 Blue

Hyundai has added a second model to its ultra-efficient Blue range. The i20 Blue emits just 98 g/km of CO2 - good enough for zero road tax and exemption from the London Congestion Charge - and achieves an impressive 76.4 mpg (3.7 l/100km) on the combined cycle.



But Hyundai hasn’t had to resort to a tiny capacity, low-output engine to get to those figures, as the Blue is powered by the 89 bhp (66 kW / 90PS) 1.4 CRDi common rail diesel. What it has done is fit low rolling resistance tyres, a stop-start system and aerodynamic deflectors for the rear suspension and wheels.

Based on the existing Comfort trim level, standard equipment is comprehensive and includes air conditioning, an electronic stability programme, Bluetooth, USB and aux-in connections, electric heated and folding door mirrors, electric windows all round and 15” alloy wheels. In fact, the only listed options are metallic paint and a body stripe.



In the UK the i20 Blue is priced at £13,195, and it’s available as a five-door only.
