Hyundai-I30: reviews of car owners and technical specifications

Recently, many Korean automakers, including "Hyundai" seriously engaged in updating their product line. An exception was not the Hyundai i30. The owners' comments confirm that this model was much fresher during the restyling period. And the changes affected not only design, but also technical characteristics. As you may have guessed, today's speech will focus on the Hyundai i30 (2013). Owner reviews and car review - later in this article.

Design of a hatchback

The appearance of the Korean novelty is very fast and original. Such a car is not exactly lost in the gray "crowd" of other cars. The front of the car is now decorated with a new grille, optics and fog lights. In general, the radiator grille is very original - with its lines it merges with the bumper, forming a "mouth" of the car. Successfully designers have adjusted chrome stripes. Many automakers too adorn their cars with chrome and similar inserts, because of what it looks not very attractive. Here Koreans managed to correctly calculate the proportions - as a result, we get an interesting and bright car. But the designers decided not to dwell only on the grille and the bumper. With the same bias, and optics - head and fog lights. By the way, the latter are made in an unusual angular form and have built-in daytime running lights.

The car's headlights are attached to the headlights, which stretch from the bumper to the body pillar and seem to repeat the shape of the "muscular" wheel arches. The roof of Henday is panoramic, which is also positively displayed on the exterior of the car. The rear-view mirrors are painted in the general color of the car and equipped with small repeaters (by the way, they are even difficult to see at first). In general, Hyundai-i30 has a bright, modern and dynamic appearance. This hatchback immediately stands out for its sportiness, aggressiveness and fresh appearance.

Dimensions of the body

The Korean car has the following dimensions: length - 430 centimeters, height - 147 centimeters, width - 178 centimeters. These are standard sizes for both the hatchback Hyundai-i30. The owners' comments mark the high ground clearance of the car. The novelty with its 150 mm road gleam can successfully compete with any bestseller on the Russian market. In any case, on our asphalt and dirt roads, "Hyundai" will pass without problems.

Hyundai-i30: photo and interior review

And the already excellent quality of finishing materials has been improved by another level. Compared with previous models, the novelty acquired more soft parts. The interior design, like the exterior, is made in a very original style. The very same front panel architecture is symmetrical on the sides. On the central console there is a small radio tape recorder, several control buttons, and also a large screen of the on-board computer, which can act as a navigator. On the sides there are successfully placed deflectors, decorated with plastic insert "under aluminum".

According to the manufacturer, the hatchback is equipped with new electronic "bells and whistles" with an affordable control. So, the basic equipment of a three- and five-door car includes a brand-new audio system with 6 speakers and USB output, electric seat heating, power windows for all doors, and air conditioning. Also included here are adaptive headlights that automatically switch light when entering a tunnel or driving an oncoming car. Not bad for a "base".

Separate attention deserves the finish of the steering wheel and the handle of the checkpoint. These two parts are now covered with quality leather. This is great progress for the Hyundai-I30 (2013). The owners' comments say that now thanks to new materials, the interior has become more cozy and comfortable. The steering wheel is equipped with radio control buttons - now you can control the music playback without being distracted from the road.

How much can I equip the Hyundai-I30? Reviews of owners say that the options for a new hatchback from Russian dealers are not very much. All that can be equipped with a car - so these are seats with a functional electric drive, assistance system at the start of the vehicle on the rise, sensors of darkness and rain, electronic regulation of braking forces, and a 2-zone climate control system with an ionizer.

Although in the "base" the car has enough "bells and whistles". In addition to those we listed earlier, the car is equipped with an electronic rear-view camera, leather seats, stylish fifteen-inch wheels, and a panoramic roof that allows you to enjoy the trip to the fullest.

Main competitors

Initially, the main rival of "Hyundai-i30" is the hatchback "Ford Focus". The company "Ford" does not cease to amaze its customers with new technical and innovative solutions, so every year the level of sales of the model range in Russia is only increasing. But despite such a high competition, the Asians still managed to "pull out" their place in the world market and not lose profit from production. This was facilitated by a low initial price, high build quality and a well-planned marketing move.

Hyundai-i30: reviews of owners about technical characteristics

In the range of power units there are as many as 4 powerful engines. Among them there are 2 petrol and the same number of diesel units. The volume of aggregates is from 1.4 to 1.6 liters, and the power from 90 to 134 horsepower.

As for the gearbox, depending on the chosen motor it can be either a six-speed "mechanics" or an "automatic" for 6 speeds. The latter came into operation only in 2012. Let's remind, earlier Hyundai-I30 was equipped with a 4-band automatic transmission.

The manufacturer claims that this line of power units has undergone a number of studies and has undergone several changes. So, the Korean hatchback became more "quick" and at the same time reduced its "appetite". By the way, the engineers did not forget about the ecology. The norm of carbon dioxide emissions is now about 100 grams per kilometer.

Dynamics

And now about what Hyundai-I30 has technical characteristics of the dynamics.
Depending on the engine power, the maximum speed of the "Korean" is 170-197 kilometers per hour. At the same time, a jerk from zero to "hundred" is estimated at 11.9-13 seconds.

Fuel consumption

All this is good, but how moderate is the "appetite" of the hatchback Hyundai-I30? Technical characteristics of engines allow the novelty to spend no more than 4-6 liters of fuel per "hundred". It is worth noting the most economical engine - turbodiesel CRDI with a capacity of 128 horsepower. Coupled with a six-speed "mechanics", he consumes only 3.7 liters of fuel outside the city and 4.9 in urban mode.

Prices and complete sets

What Hyundai-I30 has technical characteristics, we have already found out, now we will pass to the cost. As of 2014, the initial cost for a three-door Korean hatchback in the basic configuration is 599 thousand rubles. The five-door version will cost a little more - 650 thousand rubles. At first glance, this cost is too great for a typical urban runabout. However, if we take into account the modern design of Hyundai, the leather interior and the level of equipment in the "base," everything becomes clear. 599 thousand is even very attractive cost for such bright and stylish avtomobilchika.
