Opinion of a Hyundai HB20S owner

According to reviews from Hyundai HB20S owners, one of the model's strong points is the low level of noise and vibration. The engine stands out for being quieter and vibrating less than similar ones. Furthermore, the car's interior pleases in almost every aspect. Although it is smaller than most competitors, the 20 HB2014S still offers good interior space.

The trunk, although a little smaller, is functional, but the hinged rod closing system can be a negative point.

Another positive point is fuel economy, with ranges of 555 km in urban environments and 640 km on highways, making it an efficient option for different types of use.
