| Hyundai i30, styled in Europe by Europeans for Europeans |
With the i30, Hyundai introduces a new model range firmly positioned in the mainstream C segment. Styled in the company's Russelsheim Design and Technical Centre for those who want stylish practicality with a distinctive dash of sporting flair, the i30 is aimed at the discerning European who wants something different, but with proven integrity and quality. Flowing curves, emphasised by strong character lines highlight the broad stance and long wheelbase of the i30. The clearly defined unbroken waistline unifies the classic proportions. The effect is conservative, yet exiting, giving a dynamic impression of performance and capability. The pronounced dual intake frontal styling seems to mould effortlessly into the bonnet and A pillar lines. The upsweep of the rear window lines mirrors the lower character line. The harmonic effect creates a distinct and dynamic posture. Hyundai has adopted LED based blue instrument and minor control lighting throughout their upper market ranges. The advantages are less eyestrain and fatigue under all ambient light conditions, helping to maintain peak driver alertness and vision.
The i30's dimensions at 4,245 mm long, 1,765 mm wide and 1,480 mm high, fit i30 totally to current C-segment expectations. In addition the long wheelbase of 2,650 mm offers superior inside spaciousness, which has received the full force of Hyundai intelligent interior design.
A choice of three petrol, combined with manual or automatic transmission and three diesel power options means the i30 can meet virtually every driving, or geographic power train preference. The i30 offers a wide range of engines. At the entry-level, Hyundai's new 108PS 1.4l petrol engine offers a sparkling combination of fuel economy and performance with 13.5kg.m torque. A new1.6 engine gives 121PS and 15.4kg.m torque, while the range topping 2.0 offers 140hp with 18.8kg.m torque. In terms of diesel a new 1.6 CRDi is available in 90PS and 115PS versions, both with 26kg.m torque. At the top end, the 2.0 CRDi puts out an exhilarating140PS with 31kg.m torque. |
