Hyundai Click: Which Version to Buy and Why

The Hyundai Click choice comes down to two production phases and nine listed versions. The original 1 generation ran from 2002 to 2005 with four Gasoline options, while the 1 generation, restyling ran from 2005 to 2011 and offered four Gasoline versions plus a Diesel.

The Hyundai Click choice comes down to two production phases and nine listed versions. The original 1 generation ran from 2002 to 2005 with four Gasoline options, while the 1 generation, restyling ran from 2005 to 2011 and offered four Gasoline versions plus a Diesel. For the strongest acceleration, choose the restyled 1.6 MT: its 106 hp, 146 Nm and five-speed Manual deliver 0–100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. For the lowest measured combined consumption, the original 1.3 MT records 5.8 l/100 km. The restyled 1.5 MT Diesel is the torque leader at 235 Nm and has the highest measured top speed at 181 km/h, but its consumption is not measured. Buyers wanting an Automatic can choose between the original 1.3 AT and 1.5 AT or the restyled 1.4 AT and 1.6 AT.

Hyundai Click generations compared

The original 1 generation covers 2002–2005 and uses the Mini 5-doors body. Its four versions are 1.3 AT, 1.3 MT, 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. Outputs span 82–100 hp and 119–134 Nm. The two Manual versions use five-speed gearboxes, while the two Automatic versions have four speeds. Every version is FWD. This phase includes the lightest Click in the data: the 975 kg 1.3 MT.

The 1 generation, restyling covers 2005–2011, still with the Mini 5-doors body, and expands the choice to five versions: 1.4 MT, 1.4 AT, 1.6 AT, 1.6 MT and 1.5 MT. Power rises to a range of 95–112 hp, while torque spans 125–235 Nm. Compared with the original phase, the restyling adds a Turbo Diesel option and reaches a higher maximum output and torque. All five versions remain FWD; Manual cars have five speeds and Automatic cars have four.

Hyundai Click engine and gearbox specs

Power per litre helps separate engines of similar capacity. The original 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT produce about 61.1 hp per litre, while the original 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT reach about 66.9 hp per litre. Among the restyled Gasoline choices, the 1.4 MT and 1.4 AT produce about 67.9 hp per litre; the 1.6 AT delivers about 66.5 hp per litre and the 1.6 MT about 66.3 hp per litre. The restyled 1.5 MT Diesel leads at about 75.0 hp per litre and supplies 89 Nm more torque than either restyled 1.6 version.

Performance, fuel economy and mpg data

The gearbox comparison is clearest where the engine is shared. In the original 1.3 pair, the 1.3 MT reaches 100 km/h 3.3 seconds sooner and has a top speed 1 km/h higher than the 1.3 AT. For the restyled 1.4 pair, the 1.4 MT is 2.7 seconds quicker to 100 km/h, 7 km/h faster at the top end, and uses 0.6 l/100 km less on the combined cycle. Its city figure is lower by 1.7 l/100 km, while both versions record 5 l/100 km on the highway.

The restyled 1.6 MT reaches 100 km/h 2.4 seconds before the 1.6 AT, although both have a measured top speed of 176 km/h. The Manual uses 0.8 l/100 km less combined and 0.9 l/100 km less in the city; its highway figure is 0.1 l/100 km higher. These figures make the 1.6 MT the strongest all-round performance choice when a Manual is acceptable.

Hyundai Click dimensions, weight and wheels

Weight per horsepower reinforces the performance results. The original 1.3 MT carries about 11.9 kg per hp, compared with about 12.3 kg per hp for the 1.3 AT. The original 1.5 MT is at 9.9 kg per hp and the 1.5 AT at 10.2 kg per hp. In the restyled range, both 1.4 versions carry about 11.1 kg per hp; the two 1.6 versions are about 9.5 kg per hp, and the 1.5 MT Diesel is about 9.7 kg per hp. Every listed version has a 45 l tank.

Which Hyundai Click version should you buy?

Choose the restyled 1.6 MT for the best measured balance of acceleration, power and consumption. It is the quickest Click here at 9.6 seconds to 100 km/h, produces 106 hp and 146 Nm, and matches the restyled 1.4 MT’s 5.9 l/100 km combined figure despite having 11 hp and 21 Nm more. It also weighs 45 kg less than the restyled 1.4 MT.

Choose the original 1.3 MT if the lowest measured combined consumption matters most. Its 5.8 l/100 km result beats both the restyled 1.4 MT and 1.6 MT by 0.1 l/100 km. The trade-off is 82 hp, 119 Nm and an 11.5-second 0–100 km/h time.

Choose the restyled 1.5 MT Diesel when torque and maximum speed take priority. Its 235 Nm exceeds the original 1.5 MT Gasoline version by 101 Nm and the restyled 1.6 MT by 89 Nm. It reaches 181 km/h, the highest measured speed in the range, but its fuel-consumption figures are not measured and its 1,090 kg kerb weight is the highest listed.

For an Automatic, the restyled 1.6 AT is the performance choice: it has 11 hp and 21 Nm more than the restyled 1.4 AT, reaches 100 km/h 1.9 seconds sooner, and has a top speed 9 km/h higher. That improvement costs 0.2 l/100 km in combined consumption. If measured Automatic economy matters more, the restyled 1.4 AT records 6.5 l/100 km combined against 6.7 l/100 km for the 1.6 AT. Consumption for the original 1.3 AT and 1.5 AT is not measured, so the data does not support an economy ranking for those versions.

The catalogue data provides no prices, sale offers, reliability records or fault statistics. It therefore cannot establish what extra money buys, whether a particular Hyundai Click for sale is good value, or whether clicking during starting or steering is a model problem. The defensible buying decision rests on the specifications: 1.6 MT for measured performance, 1.3 MT for measured combined economy, 1.5 MT Diesel for torque, and 1.6 AT for the strongest Automatic performance.
