The ground clearance compared to other Hyundai models
Even within the family, the i20 is a bit like the middle child. It doesn't sit as close to the terra firma as the i10’s 149 mm height, but it doesn’t quite reach the lofty suspension heights of, say, the Bayon at 165 mm. The rest of the troop, like the i30 and its performance sibling, the i30 N, nip at its heels with 140 and 136 mm respectively. Want to talk proper off-roading credentials? Look no further than Hyundai’s beefy brothers: Tucson and Santa Fe strut at 170 mm and 176 mm, dwarfing the i20's respectable, but hardly monstrous stance.

How does the ground clearance of the Hyundai i20 compare to it's nearest competitors?
When you pit the i20 against the motoring gladiators beyond the Hyundai colosseum, it holds its ground quite valiantly. The KIA Stonic is a tad more elevated with 165 mm, as is the SsangYong Tivoli at 167 mm. Subaru plays in a different league; the Trezia’s ground clearance mirrors the i20's altitude, while the XV could practically hop curbs with its 220 mm. Let's not forget our French friends - Renault’s Kadjar floats with a celestial 200 mm ground clearance. The i20 isn’t the underdog of the story, though. Poor VW Jetta crawls at an abysmal 98 mm, practically snogging the tarmac, and the MINI Clubman is just 2 mm shy from the i20 with 138 mm. It’s a no-brainer for urban adventurers, the i20 walks the line of practicality, evading car park ramps of doom and the occasional rural rumble with poise.
