Ideal A/B-class car. It has the price of a good A-class but the size and presence of a B-segment car. The annoying thing is that only a bike rack is allowed on the towbar (on my i10 from 2020 — the 2nd generation already after 2015). I’m still waiting for an iX10 version: a bit taller but otherwise the same.
