The Hyundai i30 is the name given in Europe for what the North American market refers to as the Hyundai Elantra Touring and/or the Elantra GT, depending on model year. It’s a family compact that shares a platform with the Kia Ceed, but has also been built as a 5-door hatchback, 5-door wagon, and 5-door liftback from 2017.

The first generation of Hyundai i30 arrived on the scene back in 2007, but was upgraded to a second generation in 2011, and then to its current third generation in 2016. The latest versions are a facelifted model first released back in 2020. The third-generation models are available as a hatchback, wagon, and liftback, which is marketed as the i30 Fastback.

Latest-generation models have been offered with a number of different engine options in both regular gasoline and diesel, with displacements from 1-liter to 2-liter for gasoline, and up to 1.6-liter in diesel form.

The most powerful Hyundai i30 powertrain offered is the 2-liter Theta II T-GDi gasoline engine, which outputs up to 276-hp and 289 lb-ft of torque. A sporty version of the i30 bearing the Hyundai sports model “N” badge was also released alongside the third-generation i30 models.

In 2020, the Hyundai i30 received a facelift, getting slimmer front LED headlights, 18-inch alloys, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster in the driver cockpit that was also paired with a more impressive 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen display. Mild hybrid technology (48 volts) was also introduced into some of the powertrains, namely the 1-liter T-GDI, and the 1.5-liter T-GDI.

Hyundai’s i30 has enjoyed strong sales in both Europe and Australia, where its economical pricing and running costs go down well, particularly as both gas costs and road tax fees are a lot higher than those paid in North America.
