Start with what the Hyundai ix20 is: a 5-door hatchback with Petrol engine, built from 2010 to 2019, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Thomas Bürkle.
The background
The Hyundai ix20 is a car manufactured and marketed by Hyundai, which debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. A mini MPV, the ix20 is a rebadged variant of the Kia Venga, sharing platforms with the Hyundai i20 and Kia Soul. The ix20 was exclusively sold in Europe, and is the replacement for the Lavita/Matrix.
The engineering
The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Drive goes through a 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2615 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Hyundai line-up the Hyundai ix20 has a clear place: it replaced the Hyundai Lavita/Matrix; the factory was Nošovice (HMMC), Czech Republic. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lexus LFA, the Nissan Leaf. Its Hyundai stablemates include the Hyundai Accent WRC and the Hyundai Accent.
