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 Veloster reviews

The Hyundai Veloster is a sports coupé like no other, with one rear passenger door on the kerb-side of the car. Launched in 2011, it's a bold return to the sports market for Hyundai, following the demise of the Hyundai Coupe in 2009. It's not a budget option like the previous Coupe either, with Hyundai pricing it very close to competitors like the Vauxhall Astra GTC and VW Scirocco

Hyundai i10 reviews

The Hyundai i10 is a city car which was launched in 2008 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 Fiat 500.

Hyundai i20 reviews

The Hyundai i20 is the Korean brand’s supermini, launched in 2009 as a replacement for the long-in-the-tooth Getz, offering significantly better all-round performance and improved levels of safety.

Latest model: Hyundai i20 (2009-)

Hyundai i30 reviews

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

Latest models: Hyundai i30 (2012-) & Hyundai i30 Tourer (2012-)

Hyundai i40 reviews

The Hyundai i40 is a large saloon and estate, taking on the likes of the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Peugeot 508. It majors on value, but also represents a big step up in quality from the Korean brand.

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 targeting customers considering the benefits of compact 4x4s, like the Nissan Qashqai and the Skoda Yeti. Think of it as a go-between of the Hyundai i30 and Santa Fe, combining car-like driving with a raised stance.

Latest model: Hyundai ix35 (2010-)

    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 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 and owner satisfaction are high.

  • Hyundai Coupe reviews

    1 review available (2002 - 2009) | Used price: from £2,675

    Hyundai Coupe 1

    The Hyundai Coupe is a four-seater sports coupe that's pretty enough to look at, but its chassis, safety equipment and other design flaws betray its age and budget status. Rivals like the BMW 3 Series Coupe and Toyota Celica simply make more sense. 

  • Hyundai Matrix reviews

    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 competitors, and is hopeless on security. But Hyundai owner satisfaction is good and the Elantra is cheap to buy, if perhaps somewhat rough round the edges.
