As of February 2015, Hyundai will add the space saver spare tyre as a standard feature on new SE models and above.

The Connectivity Pack, which comprises of Bluetooth with voice recognition, steering wheel with audio controls and rear speakers, will be available as a £175 option on SE models.

Tony Whitehorn, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor UK, said: “Since its launch a year ago, we’ve already sold more than 25,000 units of new generation i10 in the UK.

"The introduction of Premium SE will look to build on this success by providing customers with competitive levels of technology, without the need to compromise on the small car package.”
