Hyundai car reviews

Even ten years ago, Hyundai was synonymous with low-budget, low-appeal machinery. What a turnaround the Korean company has had in recent years. It's become the darling of the retail buyer, offering record-breaking five-year warranties, low prices and lots of equipment. Its products - spearheaded by stars like the i10 and i30 - can now challenge the best that European brands have to offer.

Hyundai ranks towards the top end of the brand pile as far as reliability and dealer satisfaction go, according to Which? readers.

Hyundai Matrix reviews

As well as being an alternative reality watched over by Keanu Reeves, the Matrix is a reliable mini-MPV made by Hyundai. It has a high driving position and good visibility, but crash protection and security lag behind more modern rivals.

Hyundai Santa Fe reviews

The Hyundai Santa Fe is Hyundai’s compact 4x4 and was launched in 2006. It sells in a highly competitive niche market and competes against long established models like the Toyota Rav4 and Land Rover Freelander. It has plenty of space and is good value for money compared to the competition. Hyundai brand reliability and owner satisfaction are high.

Hyundai Veloster reviews

The Hyundai Veloster is a sports coupé concept car that debuted at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show

Hyundai i10 reviews

The Hyundai i10 is a city car which was launched in 2007 and is the smallest model in Hyundai’s range. It offers good value for money and is surprisingly spacious compared to key rivals like the Toyota Aygo and the Peugeot 1007.

Hyundai i20 reviews

The Hyundai i20 is Hyundai’s supermini, launched in 2009 and following on from the success of the Hyundai i10 city car. It superseded the Getz and offers significantly better all-round performance. But it sells in a very competitive market and is matched up against established modern rivals like the VW Polo and the Ford Fiesta.

Hyundai i30 reviews

The Hyundai i30 is a medium family hatchback, competing head-to-head with established big name models like the VW Golf and the Ford Focus. It represents a real step forward for Hyundai in both quality and performance and, along with its slightly lower-specified and lower-priced stable-mate, the Kia Cee'd, it has helped Hyundai/Kia step into the premier league of world motorcar manufacture.

Hyundai i40 reviews

The Hyundai i40 was first shown by the manufacturer at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. It enters the large saloon category, so will have to take on the likes of the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Peugeot 508.

Hyundai ix20 reviews

The Hyundai ix20 is a mini-MPV - an inexpensive, spacious people carrier that's easy to drive and use. More than just a supermini, the Hyundai ix20 is aimed at the same target customers as the Citroën C3 Picasso and the Nissan Note. It competes fiercely on price, and offers great comfort and practicality into the bargain.

Hyundai ix35 reviews

The Hyundai ix35 is a 'crossover' vehicle, which sits somewhere between the Hyundai i30 hatchback and Santa Fe off-roader. It targets customers considering other crossovers and compact 4x4s, like the Nissan Qashqai and the Skoda Yeti. The ix35 is yet another firm reminder that Hyundai is now a world-class car maker, producing a reliable range of models to compete with the best.

    Hyundai Grandeur f3q

    Hyundai briefly offered the Grandeur in the UK in an attempt to tap into the executive car market, but only a handful were sold. Plus points? Plenty of equipment, a decent auto gearbox and comfy seats. 

  • Hyundai Getz reviews

    1 review available (2002 - 2009) | Used price: from £1.775

    Hyundai Getz 1

    The Hyundai Getz was available from 2000 to 2009 and is a supermini, competing when it was new, with Which? member favourites like the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris. It doesn’t do too bad for safety compared to its better competitors, and is hopeless on security. But Hyundai brand reliability and owner satisfaction are high.

    Hyundai Elantra Saloon 2

    The Hyundai Elantra was available from 2001 to 2006 and is a medium hatchback, competing when it was new, with the likes of the Toyota Corolla and the Kia Cerato. It doesn’t cut the mustard for safety compared to its better competitors, and is hopeless on security. But Hyundai owner satisfaction is good and they are cheap to buy, if perhaps somewhat rough round the edges.
