New Generation i30

No matter if you’re single or married, young or old, or anything in between, the Hyundai i30 offers something for you. With a suite of impressive connectivity features, one of the most comprehensive safety packages in the Hyundai range, excellent driving dynamics and a sharp design, the Hyundai i30 is a sure-fire way to stand out from the crowd.

Exterior

From every angle, the design of the Hyundai i30 is sure to make an impact. It’s laden with sculpted surfaces, while a tapering silhouette brings an air of sophistication and sporting nature to the car. Up front, an elegant cascading grille is flanked by striking LED headlights that make a real impact, while LED daytime running lights adding to its prominence on the road. At the back, this strong presence is continued with sharp and distinctive tail lights. For an extra sense of luxury, three alloy wheel designs — 15-, 16-, and 17-inches respectively — bring a sharp character to all corners of the car.

Interior

Not only is the cabin of the Hyundai i30 one of the roomiest and most comfortable in its class, the sophisticated nature of the car is backed up by controls that are ergonomically placed and easy to use. Materials utilised throughout bring a premium air to the car and, with a respectable 395 litres of boot space on offer, it’s sure to fit the practical needs of almost any new car buyer too.

Performance

A comprehensive line-up of engines makes the Hyundai i30 one of the most versatile cars in its class. For those looking for maximum efficiency, a smooth and brisk 1.6-litre CRDi can be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox or cutting-edge seven-speed dual clutch transmission. With the former, an incredible 74.3mpg (WLTP combined) is achievable. Two T-GDi engines are offered for those looking for a more spirited and engaging drive that comes with petrol power. With outputs of 118bhp and 138bhp offered, these units deliver on efficiency too — capable of returning 56.5mpg and 52.3mpg respectively (WLTP combined, six-speed manual gearbox).

Safety and technology

With active safety technologies like Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Driver Attention Alert (DAA) and Blind-Spot Detection (BSD) available, the Hyundai i30 delivers one of the safest packages on the road. It’s no surprise Euro NCAP awarded it a five-star rating. Some of the most desirable luxury tech is offered, too. Depending on your chosen grade, the Hyundai i30 can be had with a panoramic sunroof, a rearview camera, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats and an electric parking brake.
