Space & Practicality
The interior is a lot more sedate than the exterior, and the cabin feels pretty much like your typical Hyundai cabin. In other words, it’s smart and well put-together but nothing to get too excited over. You can add some optional pops of colour around the vents and in the stitching if you do want to liven things up. It is logically laid out, and they have kept the temperature controls as easy-to-use dials rather than integrated to the touchscreen, which we are always happy to see. The screen itself also offers a simple, user-friendly interface, even if the graphics aren’t particularly mind-blowing.
Storage wise it passes the vital road tests, with space for a hot drink and your phone in the centre console, a decent size glovebox, and doorbins wide enough to fit a large bottle of water. There is a good feeling of space in the cabin in general, particularly in terms of shoulder room, complemented by a comfortable driving position with plenty of adjustment.
Space in the back is pretty typical for this segment in that it’s not especially roomy for adults, and the thing to remember about these cars is that while they might look big and beefed up, the space inside is generally not much bigger than the small hatchbacks they are based on. So while two adults should be reasonably comfortable back there, three will be a tight enough squeeze.That said, kids will be fine, and there are two sets of Isofix anchors for childseats.
The boot then measures in at 361 litres. That is smaller than the i30 hatchback (380l), larger than the i20 super mini (326l) and about middle of the road when compared to competitors. It’s slightly bigger than a Kia Stonic (353l) but smaller than a Seat Arona (400l). It is quite practically shaped, with a large wide opening and the backseats fold completely flush, leaving a smooth loading area for any more heavy-duty shopping trips.
