Advantages of the Hyundai HB20

5-year factory warranty, the longest in the segment. Neither the Onix nor the Polo offer as much.
Modern, sporty design: sharp lines, LED headlights and a well-finished interior for the segment.
Excellent connectivity: 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
Efficient consumption: the 1.0 engine gets up to 17 km/l on the highway, ideal for fuel costs in Paraguay.
4 airbags, ABS, traction control and stability control standard on all versions.
300-liter trunk expandable to 930 liters with folded seats, generous for a compact hatchback.

Disadvantages of the Hyundai HB20

1.0 engine with only 75 HP: falls short on the highway with passengers and luggage, especially uphill.
Limited safety: scored only 1 star in Latin NCAP, below direct competitors.
Halogen lights on base versions: poor illumination on dark rural roads in Paraguay's interior.
Smaller Hyundai service network compared to Toyota or Chevrolet in interior cities.
1.0 three-cylinder engine with reported cylinder head issues in early second-generation models.

Who is the Hyundai HB20 for

City driver

If your daily route is Asuncion and surroundings, the 1.0 manual is more than enough and the 13 km/l city consumption keeps costs low.

First car

The 5-year warranty provides peace of mind, and the entry price is competitive against the Onix and Polo. Ideal for those who don't want unexpected costs.

Small family

The HB20S (sedan) with 475-liter trunk and 5 seats covers the needs of a 3-4 person family needing a practical car without jumping to an SUV.

Tech-savvy buyer

8-inch screen, CarPlay/Android Auto, cruise control and reverse camera. More tech equipment than most in the segment at this price range.

HB20 vs. the competition in Paraguay

In the compact hatchback segment, these are the HB20's direct rivals:

  • Chevrolet Onix: more efficient highway engine, better crash test result, but only 3-year warranty and less standard equipment.
  • Volkswagen Polo: better driving dynamics and interior finish, but higher entry price and no touchscreen on base version.
  • Toyota Etios: unbeatable in mechanical reliability and service network, but outdated design and less tech equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What's the Hyundai HB20's fuel consumption in Paraguay?
