The turning circle compared to other Hyundai models
Within Hyundai's own stable, the i20 plays a sort of vehicular Goldilocks fable in terms of rotation. The plucky i10, a magician in tight spots, slithers around with a 9.80 meters circle – envy-worthy. On the other end, the hulking Tucson lumbers about with an 10.90 meters radius. The i20's platform mate, the saucy Bayon, mirrors it at 10.40 meters. But SUV crossover cousins like the Kona and the electric IONIQ 5 ask for more wiggle room at 10.60 and a hefty 12.00 meters respectively.

How does the turning circle of the Hyundai i20 compare to it's nearest competitors?
But how does the i20 fare in the vast tapestry of motorcars? When pitted against the arch-nemesis, the Peugeot 207, with its 10.60 meters turning tango, the i20 can puff out its chest with a modest victory. Consider the longer and wider Lada Vesta, handicapped with an 11.00 meters turning radius despite its larger wheelbase, making the i20 appear more ballerina than bulldozer. Entering the realm of folklore are competitors like the Fiat Dino and the Volvo 264, floating at 12.40 and 9.80 meters; the latter matches the i20's turning circle, albeit being a creature of significantly larger dimensions. And kudos to the Ford Escort, a time-honoured rival, that pirouettes on just 10.00 meters of space.
