About the 2020 HYUNDAI IX20

With an average of 17,592 miles at 6 years old, HYUNDAI IX20 owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2020 HYUNDAI IX20 Fuel Costs
The 1591cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
