Additional Notes

  • The 1.0-litre engines across all listed configurations share a cooling system capacity of 4.5 litres, while the 1.2 MPi variants require 4.8 litres, reflecting the larger displacement and associated increase in coolant volume needed to manage heat across a bigger engine block.
  • The Hyundai i10 AC3 (EU) cooling system follows a two-tier service interval structure. Under normal use conditions, coolant changes are scheduled at 30,000 km or every 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The "first change only" interval applies a significantly extended schedule of 210,000 km or 120 months. In coolant service terminology, a first-change-only interval refers to the initial factory-fill coolant, which is formulated to last considerably longer before the standard recurring change cycle begins.
  • The 120-month first-change interval equals a 10-year service life for the factory coolant fill, after which the 24-month recurring cycle at 30,000 km intervals takes effect under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.0 MPi engine was rated at 49 kW in the 2020-2024 period and at 46 kW from 2024 onward, yet both power outputs share an identical cooling system capacity of 4.5 litres and the same service intervals.
  • A similar output revision applies to the turbocharged 1.0 T-GDI, which was rated at 74 kW in 2020-2024 and at 66 kW from 2024 onward, again with no change to the 4.5-litre capacity or the associated service schedule.
  • The 1.2 MPi engine likewise saw a power adjustment, from 62 kW in 2020-2024 to 58 kW from 2024 onward, while retaining the 4.8-litre cooling system capacity and identical interval specifications across both output ratings.
  • Across all engine variants and model year ranges in the AC3 generation, the normal-use change interval is uniformly set at 30,000 km or 24 months, indicating a consistent maintenance cadence regardless of engine type or output level.
