Some few months ago went through us these two models, of which publish their independent tests the Hyundai and the Peugeot. Now compare them directly, but after so long surely there will be many details that will be forgotten.
Engines have little to do since the Hyundai had one Diesel 90 hp, while the Peugeot was gasoline and 82.
The Peugeot 208 with this petrol engine is on sale from 11 760 euros, with very basic equipment. The Hyundai i20 is priced around 14 400 euros, much higher in part by the type of engine (diesel means more expensive, as a rule) and because it has more features. For example, Hyundai has standard air conditioning and alarm.Anyway, even if it matches the equipment as far as possible, there remains a significant advantage to the French model ( sheet comparative and equipment)
If money was no problem and I had to choose one, I was left with the engine Hyundai especially. Its engine is much stronger, much stronger at all times, and therefore, makes the car more usable outside the city, especially under load. Performance data support these impressions. In traditional acceleration test we do in our blog (which is between 80 and 120 km / h in speed or appropriate gears for maximum acceleration measure chosen because it simulates an overtaking maneuver) the Hyundai comes out top for something less than four seconds (10.8 vs 14.2). We know that does not make much sense to compare such different engines, or maybe yes, because it shows that the advantage of accelerating the Hyundai is far greater than could fit only wait for 8 hp advantage it has (on paper).
Besides the engine, another key difference is the practical value of each. The Hyundai model I found it very simple and practical aspect for driver and passenger. The Peugeot 208 on the contrary, I believe that a customer seeks more concerned about design and new technologies. More modern is not necessarily always better. For example, Hyundai corners much better control of the car and his body left better visibility in all directions (not to mention that may be reversing camera). Its doors are higher and more regular proportions, which promotes access and exit the cabin. In addition, the cockpit of the Hyundai because I like to do less adjustments for the entire instrumentation information is well in sight.
The i20 console is classic, simple and organized. It is made to be handled in a quick look. It's like a car "old", in which everything is easily found. The Peugeot 208 has a screen (at least in the versions equipped) that I can not handle well in place because it is simple and concrete everything I could. Touch screens may not be the ideal solution for cars, but there are a number of examples that show that you can do more intuitive.

I have asked in writing on the Peugeot 208 and Hyundai i20 Paul David Gonzalez, who also had the opportunity to lead. Your memories are, more or less, that the Hyundai had the appearance of being a car from a generation before the Peugeot, but it is a fully functional model, which is easier to feel in control of all functions. He adds that the Hyundai has a more natural driving position and better visibility. It also recognizes that the 208 comes more from the eyes, thanks to a very modern design and the peculiarities of its interior.

For trunk no clear winner. The Peugeot has 285 liters and the Hyundai only ten, 295 liters.

The Hyundai i20 may have a reversing camera whose image is displayed in a portion of the rearview mirror. It is an option that never hurts, but it is essential in a car of this size and with a body that leaves good visibility.

In curves possibly go better because it has less rolling Peugeot and responds faster steering orders. It has a better steering feel, better car tuned. Peugeot has long been making quality cars with reactions and the 208 continues that line. The Hyundai is a more conventional model in this regard, but perfectly adequate for normal use.
