Verdict
Petite citadine essence à boîte manuelle, 5 places et environ 253 litres de coffre, proposée en 1.0 et 1.1 de 59 ch. Les retours publiés sur sa fiabilité manquent : aucune panne documentée publiquement, fiabilité non notée. Modèle ancien, donc entretien et état de la carrosserie à contrôler.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 140 to 149 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2008: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Hyundai Atos / Atos Prime”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (petrol)€133
1.1 59 version: combined consumption of 5.4 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
5.4 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €133
Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.
- Insurance€58
Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.
- Maintenance€23
Servicing and wear parts (tyres, brakes) for 12,000 km a year, per month.
- Depreciation€92
Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the average drop in valuation per year of age (yearly medians of listings), per month.
Inspection checklist
Hyundai Atos / Atos Prime I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Contrôler la carrosserie et le soubassement (corrosion) sur un véhicule de cet âge.
- Vérifier la date du dernier remplacement de la courroie de distribution.
- Essayer l'embrayage et la boîte manuelle.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien et les factures.
- Faire un contrôle technique récent.
Questions to ask the seller
- Quand la courroie de distribution a-t-elle été remplacée ?
- Quel est le kilométrage réel et quel entretien a été fait ?
- Le contrôle technique est-il à jour et sans contre-visite ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
No direct electric or hybrid equivalent in our guides. Simulate combustion vs electric cost
