| Ground clearance: | 139 mm (5.5 inches) | 149 mm (5.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Hyundai i10 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps.

Note, however, that this Hyundai i10 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
