At Hyundai, design is more than just decoration. It is, for example, the opportunity to combine compactness with spaciousness.
Sensuous and seductive, the i30's curves are daringly combined with a modern design flair that makes it stand out from the crowd, wherever it is.
The twin–panel roof offers true open–air driving fun. At the touch of a button, the front panel opens and a wind deflector activates for passenger comfort.

It’s time to accelerate beyond compromise. Wherever you drive, whether it's sharp mountain bends or a country road stretching out for miles, the i30 makes every drive more spirited and fun. Sport-tuned handling and smooth acceleration offer pure driving pleasure on every type of road while the lower emissions from the range of six engines mean you're doing more for the environment. 
“With the i30, we’ve clearly been able to increase the efficiency dramatically.”Joachim Hahn
Hyundai Engineering is more than just the sum of the parts. Always with the focus on people and always with the goal of improving the existing car.
Each of our engines is matched to a smooth shifting 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic.
The i30 offers an innovative Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS) that increases safety on every type of curve and turn. The system actually directs the light in the direction you turn the wheel, improving visibility and driver response time. AFLS is available as an option with our xenon headlamps.

When it comes to safety, the i30 never compromises. Independent tests from leading EU safety organisations confirm the i30 sets a new level of protection. That begins with a 9-airbag system able to surround every occupant in the event of a collision. A combination of front, side and curtain airbags protect the front and rear passengers, while an optional knee airbag provides added safety for the driver.
Not only does it look tough, it emanates safety as well.”
