The Hyundai i10 has been crowned the ‘best training car of the year 2015’ by the Driving Instructors Association who are responsible for learner-driver tutors in the UK. Expert judges have praised the car for its high quality interior design, generous standard spec and its very reasonable price.
Simon Miller, editor of Driving Instructor Magazine said “Although this may be a surprising choice to some, the excellent value of the Hyundai, coupled with its handling and ride, makes it a sensible buy from a business perspective.”
The president and CEO of Hyundai Motor UK, Tony Whitehorn has also said “Thanks to its low running costs, it’s no surprise that the i10 is so popular among driving instructors. Combined with its low insurance rating, the i10 also makes an incredibly affordable first car once the driving test has been passed!”
Hyundai cars are becoming a more common sight at driving schools, with the hatchback range being a hit with driving instructors. The i10, i20 and i30 are all a popular choice, but the i10 has the upper hand as it is the most compact model of them all.
