Hyundai is slowly but surely enjoying a bigger share of the market. Its latest 2017 Hyundai i10 adds to the roster of good quality cars belonging to the small car category perfect for city driving and narrow streets usually found in Europe. It is one promising car that can be an easy option for those who prefer something belonging to its category.

However, it is not all the rage at all. The 2017 Hyundai i10 reportedly has few subtle changes which almost is unnoticeable compared to its predecessor. With this, a good number of critics and car enthusiasts are underwhelmed and unimpressed.

According to Auto Express UK, the exterior changes are subtle as the new i10 has a new bumper with Hyundai's latest curved trapezium design. This gives the small car a more modern and fun look. To make it even more interesting, it is flanked by circular LED running lights. Other relatively noticeable changes are its black plastic panel in the rear bumper and the new alloy wheel design. For those who are not too familiar with the i10 may not notice these changes at all.

The cabin also remains familiar. Nothing much can be done with it as it is, in fact, a small vehicle. It is forgivable for the 2017 Hyundai i10 won't brag about its roomier cabin, coming with wide legroom and such. Hyundai just did some minor updates on new color and trim choices. The Premium SE is the best of all i10 trims.

The Premium SE trim comes with a new seven-inch touchscreen infotainment display as standard. It also is equipped with DAB, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto technology. It is also more feature packed. For those with more money to spend, the Premium SE is a good choice.

As added by Auto Car UK, it is identical to the model it replaces. However, it is considered less fidgety over scarred city roads. It does make for a smooth and comfortable ride because of its suspension system. It is also impressive as it is taken out of the city for long distance driving.

The 2017 Hyundai i10 is considered a sophisticated ride. It may not have a lot of significant updates to brag about, but it still remains to be a good option. Some critics may think the subtle updates and changes are underwhelming and they definitely can think that way. However, the latest i10 is still expected to make it big for car of its kind.
