What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"There’s lots to like about this Atos. But perhaps the biggest incentive to buy one is the price. It is listed at R80 900 for the entry level model. This makes it very competitive against the likes of the competitors already mentioned here, and in this league it has a quality feel that others battle to match. We would have no hesitation in recommending an Atos."

Interior

What is the Hyundai Atos like inside? 

The interior of the Atos is designed to be functional, with simple ergonomics and the bare essentials required for personal mobility.

Style

"The good looks of the new Atos, with its modern stylish “tall boy design”, is another aspect of the car that attracts attention. Inside the body, with outer dimensions of 3,61 and 1,64 cm, is a cabin that allows a lot of head space and leg room, with good visibility and ergonomics that ensures a comfortable ride."- Hyundai
