This is the new Hyundai i30!
Now the i30 may have been seen as a budget option compared to the likes of the VW Golf and Ford Focus, but with updated looks both inside and out, coupled with new engine choices, could the latest generation change that?
In terms of engines, all versions are mild hybrid, with the range topper being a 1.5-litre 4 cylinder turbo petrol which can put down 160hp and hit 0 – 60mph in under 9 seconds.
Ok, so the stats aren’t incredible. But let’s not forget that with a carwow saving, you can pick up a new i30 for under £20,000! With that in mind, if you’re in the market for a new hatchback, should you start considering the i30? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

So what do we think – does the new Hyundai i30 look better than the Mk8 VW Golf? VOTE for which you think looks the best below!
yes, its better than a golf.. in any way especially cornering..
Clone do Focus?
I feel sry for Audi designers
mat seems to have personal issues with VW
I thought it was a Ford at first
So golf is better….?
Dull styling serves a purpose, hardly a car you would rush out and buy.
Mat can you fix your cracked screen for me? It really bothers me
waiting for the new Hyundai TUCSON for a review 🙂
Seems to me that most manufacturers are backing off the adaptive cruise control, ordered a Vauxhall Grandland X Elite Nav in june 2020 was suppose to have it, got delivered in November 2020 was not fitted when i checked the entire trim level's have it removed :/
I'm so impressed with the rear styling on i30s
Ford Focus copy
The fact that this costs the same as a Toyota Yaris is ludicrous even at base model
Look like Hyundai Elite i20 INDIA and price of indian i20 is 7000 Pound only
All cars are same , same cockpit same specs ,same boring mid class cars
Lol in India they are still selling i20 and launched 3rd gen in dec2019
No i30 for Indians
13:30 I think there's no radar because of manual transmission.
For some reasons most Hyundai & KIA cars starts from clean sheet of Audi inspired designs ( the boss, perhaps) and then end up as Ford’s popular cars… this one is so close to the Focus. I guess the Hyundai salesperson would say well if you’re looking for a Ford Focus, we made one too. And then we throwing our 100g in ngoni warranty…
Mazda3 sport is the Better hatchback.
