HYUNDAI i30 · photos, packages and modifications

In order to fall over the Ford Focus and VW Golf models, the latest Hyundai i10 has been tasked in a better way to come up from the top of the cars available in the family of hatchback class. Even though it is not a class leader, it would probably go up with the up market interior, low CO2 emissions, a great-value price tag and an excellent five-year warranty option in an efficient manner. Hyundai also provides the efficient larger i30 Tourer estate model, which would probably offer load area of 528 liter that could be expanded to 1642 liter in the case of folded rear seats option that is similar to five-door hatchback version.

At the beginning of 2013, a three-door model was joined in the line-up. Compared to the competitors like Kia Pro_ceed, the i30 three-door model is designed using the exactly the same platform that could be used in the standard cars. But, in order to provide with the more dynamic look along with the longer doors those would aid access to the rear seats, this car got with more steeply rake option with beltline.

This car came up with the sharp new look, which would probably be derived from the fluidics sculpture design language of dramatic firm that was introduced along with the larger i40. The latest model is available with bags of attractive appeal, when it is compared to the old car along with all other conservative styling options. Because of the new front end, improved proportions and lots of sporty touches including tinted windows on most of the models, the three-door model is treated as even better looking one. Even though the build quality inside the car is impressive one, the image of interior has become as low quality one because of some hard plastics and shiny surfaces used in that. It was not able to stop the growth of its competitor the VW Golf, but it is treated as more than the match for the Mazda 3 and the Ford Focus.

There are efficient and reliable five kinds of trim levels available for selecting the right one.

Compared to the old car driving options, the latest i30 model is treated as much more enjoyable one. The handling of this car is decent, but it is available with lacking of dynamic polish compared to more popular competitors. The three-door model is looking as a superior one. But, it doesn't provide any feel similar to the more dynamic option behind the wheel. The amount of grip and somebody roll in corners are decent and it is largely kept along with the check. New Flex steer system of the brand is designed with the active versions and the model above that, which would probably allow drivers to select from the different options including sport, comfort and normal settings.

The car can be easily accessed through the button that is available on the wheel. It is capable of altering the weighting of steering as suitable for the road conditions and your mood. Even though it is designed with the direct set-up option, compared to the feedbacks of VW Golf or Ford Focus it lacks with the positive comments. It is not capable of ironing out the imperfections compared to the VW model along with the good quality ride. This car can be blown up into the holes at low speed along with the motorway expansion as to be jointed for resonation through the cabin in a better way.

All the models are designed with the standard slick six-speed manual gearbox, in which the six-speed automatic is available as the option.

The great reputation for reliability has been earned by the Hyundai over the last couple of year. The overall honors in the 2010 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey have been taken by the previous generation car. There is no reason for the new version to be proved as just trouble-free one without any doubts. In the 2012 results, the latest model have made as the new one with appearance. But, the old car was finished out the 15^th position and the manufacturer finished out the seventh place, which was just ahead of Porsche and Mercedes. In the Euro NCAP rating, it achieved out the five-star for safety measures. All versions of this model came along with the standard options including ESP, Isofix child seat fixings and six airbags. The knee airbag for driver is available as the optional one.
