Customers choosing the i30 Premium will benefit from HID headlights with auto leveling and AFLS, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather seat facings, dual zone climate control, heated seats, heated steering wheel and smart key with engine stop/start button.

For the first time, Hyundai is launching the dynamic i30 Turbo featuring a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, which delivers 186 hp and a 0-60 time of eight seconds. Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, Turbo sports bodykit, Turbo badge, perforated leather steering wheel with red stitching, sports suspension, satellite navigation, black and red cloth/artificial leather sports seats and LED rear tail lights.

New i30 customers will have a choice of five engines, with power outputs ranging from 100 hp to 186 hp. Customers can choose between two diesel units, a 1.6-litre engine with two power outputs - 110 hp or 136 hp. Those who prefer petrol power can select from a 100 hp 1.4-liter or 120 hp 1.6-liter naturally-aspirated engine, or the new 186 hp 1.6-liter Turbo-GDI engine. The 1.6-liter diesel can now be mated to Hyundai’s new seven-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT).

The newly-introduced 7DCT replaces the previous conventional six-speed torque-converter automatic and will deliver greater fuel efficiency while simultaneously increasing acceleration. The new transmission means the 1.6-liter CRDi Blue Drive has a dramatically reduced CO2  figure - from 145 g/km to 109 g/km - reducing benefit-in-kind tax by an impressive 8 percent.


Order books will open on February 26 while deliveries are scheduled to commence next month.
