HYUNDAI have come from al--


- most nowhere in the last five years ; in the UK to offer, a great value for money alternative to motorists ■ who want their cars to be reliable, comfortable and well built, but who aren’t.especially bothered about the badge on the bonnet, i There are plenty of people like


r ‘ .^ i


this shopping in the supermini-MP V sector, bringing us the very'small- ; est - but perhaps cleverest - breed of MPV people carriers. With the ix20, Hyundai offers are real alternative to established strong sellers in this seg-- ment like Nissan’s Note or Citroen’s C3 Picasso. , Rather than opt for a ‘box on •


I


wheels’ approach to maximise car- tying capacity,' Hyundai have pleas­ ingly tried to inject some style into their supermini-MPV and the profile - benefits. The ix20 is flexible and spa- • cious inside and despite its ‘compact’ ; tag,'adults in the back have all the- space they need thanks to the sliding


<rear seating. Tliere’s more room here than you’d get in something much, much bigger like a large Volvo XC90 4x4. With just driver and passenger aboard, fold down the rear seats and'. you get a healthy 1486-litres of space ' and that sort of carrying capacity puts it on a par with some medium-sized . estate cars. ■


The ix20 comes with a choice of


three engines. There’s a 1.4-litre 90PS ^ variant available as either a petrol or ■ as a diesel, plus a 1.6-litre 125PS pet­ rol unit. The 1.4-litre petrol engine has been adopted from Hyundai’s i20 range, while the 1.6-litre petrol comes' from the i30 family hatchback. The 1.6 is the only option available with the four-speed automatic transmis- . sion. T ■However, it’s the 1.4-litre diesel


• : ■ ■


engine that budget-conscious mo­ torists are likelv to so for. Hvundai’s ;


U2 common rail diesel delivers most o f its.220Nm of torque from as low


; as 1750rpm, which in real life should ' make for relaxed and relatively rev- ■ free driving. The Integrated Stop- '•Start and the six-speed manual . gearbox deliver fuel consumption of 65.7mpg (combined) and C02 emis­ sions of 114g/km. Most ix20 models will sell in the


£12,000-£16,000 bracket, where it looks good value against supermini- MPV rivals like Gitroen’s C3 Picasso •: and Nissan’.s Note, well a*i its sister


i car the Kia Venga. Where Hyundai does well is that not all rivals can com­ pete with the car on standard equip-


■. ment levels. For example, every man­ ual gearbox version comes with ISG :


■ ‘Stop and Go’ fuel and emissions-sav- ing technology as standard. Starting with entry-level Classic,


.V there are three trim levels. The base model comes highly equipped with kit likely to come only as.options on entry level rivals. That includes the height- adjustabfe driver’s seat, electronic sta­ bility control, air conditioning, front, side and curtain airbags, a sLx-speaker radio/CD system as well as all manner of MP3/iPod and auxiliary mix and match compatibility. At Active trim level, buyers can expect alloy wheels and reversing sensors, whilst top Style spec includes a dual-panel panoramic glass sunroof. . , The ix20’s combined fuel economy


figure of 65.7mpg for the 1.4-litre die­ sel is clearly the headline economy act along with C02 emissions of 114g/km for road tax of £30 a year. The 1.4-litre petrol will return 50.4mpg combined . with C02 emissions of 130g/km. Hy­ undai w,elcomes new customers with the. reassurance of their Five. Year Triple Care Package which ensures five years of free vehicle health checks as well as a five year, unlimited mile­ age warranty and five years of road­ side assistance.' ■

n w zoomer By JONATHAN CROUCH - 1.6-litre turbo diesel which is 5.5 THE revamped Mazda2 has a


smarter look in restyled guise to ensure that supermini buyers don’t ignore its appeaL And the changes go more than skin-deep;;: There:are upgrades too, under ^ the family-themed bonnet with its five-point grille and larger badge. ■ Plus Mazda have added their Ac- tivematic four-speed auto to the range. Under the bonnet, buyers will find


an upgraded Euro 5-compliant pow­ ertrain line-up. Most customers will probably go with the 1.3-litre petrol unit, offered with either 75 or 84PS, but there,is also a pokier 1.5-litre powerplant good for 102PS. Perhaps the biggest advance in terms of me­ chanicals however, comes with the in-' traduction of a far more competitive


1.6-htre turbo diesel which is 5.5 per- ■ cent more powerful and offers 95PS. So does it zoom zoom? Well yes,'


up to a point. Tlie high-mounted gear lever shifts neatly and the whole car feels handy and light on its feet. It never feels unstable and the steering’s quick acting. Performance-wise, the 1.3 TS will cover the 0-62mph dash in 14.9 seconds and on to a top speed of ■


:


104mph.TheJ.5 Sport by compari-' son, whether as a three or five door, ■ is of course sprightlier and will do 0-" 62mph in 10.7 seconds and keep go- ■ ing to a top speed ofll5mph. As well as the stiffer bodyshell, the '


drive and handling are enhanced by modifications to the front suspen­ sion geometry, as well as rear trailing ; arms that now have been given softer mountings. The rear dampers also have been revised and retuned. The changes may be modest individually, but with the whole greater than the parts, the result is a car that should


feel more planted to the road with­ out losing any of its verve for life, i l ie four-speed automatic transmission is


■ a first on the Mazda2 As before, there are tliree and five-


• door options, giving flexibility to par­ ents who perhaps have young children and are looking for a small runabout. The exterior styling looks classy and dynamic with that smarter nose, re­ vised front fog lamp bezels and more striking wheels. And Mazda have addressed criticisms of the previous generation car by paying particular attention to the look, feel and touch: of the interior, reworked to reflect the outside upgrade. There’s certainly


a high quality feel about the cabin, with the plasticky bits in the previous model now replaced by a much class­ ier redesigned instrument panel with


, ‘blackout’ finished dials and chrome rings, plus a centre stack in piano black. Other feel-good improvements


include smarter seat patterns and seat fabric colours. Expect to pay somewhere in the


£10,000 to £15,000 for your Mazda2, which is about par for the supermini course. There are cheaper rivals but many more pricey ones. Mazda clearly - hopes that this car’s improved quality, zippier feel and high equipment levels will give it an advantage over obvious


rivals like Ford’s Fiesta, Vauxhall’s


Corsa; Renault’s Clio and Peugeot’s 207. Cleaner and greener, fuel economy


has been improved across the engine range by up to 2% overall and cuts G02 emissions by as much as five per­ cent. Best of the bunch, predictably, is the 1.6-litre diesel, with a combined fuel figure of 67.3mpg (55.4mpg ur­ ban and 76.3mpg extra urban). You’ll need to cover a lot of miles to justify its asking price though. The more common petrol choices see combined


.cycle fuel figures of 55.4mpg for the 1.3 and 48.7mpg for the 1.5.
