Hyundai I20 2024 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Hyundai i20 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Hyundai i20 Bluetooth: How to Connect & Pair Bluetooth in a Hyundai i20?

  It wasn’t until the end of 2010 that Hyundai got around to fitting the i20 with Bluetooth tech, so really early examples of the i20 missed out. But Bluetooth is available on all other i20 years and variants, so here’s the skinny on how to connect Bluetooth to Hyundai i20 models:

  Hyundai i20 Bluetooth pairing starts with your phone having Bluetooth switched on and the phone in discoverable mode. You then need to press the Menu button on the car’s control panel and use the right-hand dial to scroll through till you find the Bluetooth prompt. Press Enter and then highlight the Pair function and hit Enter again. From there, you’ll get a series of vocal prompts which will lead to the info screen showing a pass-key number. Enter those numbers into your phone, hit the green button and you should be connected.

  Some later model i20s have slightly different procedures, but the basics are the same: Search for the car on your phone, use the set-up menu on the screen, and then enter the correct pass-key number. While some other systems display the pass-key number on both car and phone, Bluetooth Hyundai i20 style needs the pass-key as a manual entry to your phone.

  Once you have the connection established, the Hyundai i20 Bluetooth will allow all the usual functions including music streaming. The car and phone should automatically pair each time you enter the car from then on. If problems occur, the first place to look for answers is the owner’s manual, but a Hyundai dealer should also be able to help with troubleshooting.

• Can I tow my automatic 2016 Hyundai i20 behind a motorhome?

  The only way to successfully tow something like that is to use a trailer, I'm afraid. Unless you can get the drive wheels of a conventional automatic car off the ground while it's being towed, you stand to destroy the transmission in minutes.

  Flat towing with a certified A-frame is legal in Australia, but the regulations do vary from state to state. But even if it's technically legal, it won't work with an automatic i30.

• Hyundai i35 - Did this model ever exist?

  The answer is no, but Hyundai's naming policy was very confusing during the 2010s.

  The original i30 of 2007 introduced the alphanumerical naming policy and signified a different approach to vehicle engineering, with a European focus with higher-quality engineering rather than a low price to take on class leaders like on the Volkswagen Golf.

  Thus 'i' something became a sort of premium nomenclature, and of course is still used to denote this on models like the i30 and Europe's i10 and i20 small cars There was also the German-engineered i40 midsized sedan and wagon until 2018.

  But here's where Hyundai muddied its own waters.

  In 2010 the larger, American-market Sonata was rebadged i45 for Australia and New Zealand – even though an 'x' and a '5' rather than a '0' meant crossover or SUV, as illustrated by the very popular second-generation Tucson being renamed ix35 in Australia and some other markets from 2009 to 2015 – though this naming policy was abandoned for the third-generation Tucson from 2015. While strikingly styled, there was nothing European about the i45, and it too returned to being badged Sonata from 2015.

  So... i10, 120, i30, i40 and i45 for Australia, but no i35.

  Thank you.
