In the small family car market, there are some makes and models that have been hugely dominant for a number of years. While deviating from these winning formulas is seen as madness by some people, it can yield impressive results. The Hyundai i30 is a great example of what thinking outside the box can achieve, and it’s a serious contender that offers exceptional value for money.
The i30 was released in 2008 and can be bought in 5 door hatchback and estate models. It’s typically South Korean, and has a friendly and welcoming nature that goes down with all types of drivers. It’s a fantastic option for families or people who want a decent car but not the costs that come with it.
It’s not as ‘in your face’ as some European cars, but that doesn’t mean it’s boring. Actually it looks quite stylish on the outside and has a ‘minimalist’ design that really works. Inside it’s just as good, and blends functionality with practicality; solid and well organised, it’s comfortable and there’s also a lot of space. Across each trim level there’s a phenomenal amount of kit, which means you certainly get a lot for your money.
Take the Hyundai out on the road and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It’s quite nimble and handles well with a nice amount of grip in the corners. The ride quality is good, which means it’ll go well around town, on country roads or motorways. With several different petrol and diesel engines to choose from, you get a solid amount of performance that doesn’t sacrifice fuel economy.
Here at Motors.co.uk there’s every chance to get your hands on a used Hyundai i30 for a fraction of the brand new cost. Second hand cars for sale are considerably cheaper but by no means inferior in quality, so this means you’ll be able to get a lot of bang for your buck. There’s no better way to bag a bargain.
So the Hyundai i30 then is a fantastic car that can more than hold its own in a hugely competitive motoring niche. It’s all about value for money, but this approach doesn’t detract from the overall driving experience which is great. With an abundance of space, a significant level of reliability and the famous Hyundai warranty, the i30 is more than worth taking a look at.
There are plenty of i30 trim options available, with no less than 7 trims on offer: The entry-level S, SE, SE Nav, N Line, N Line+, Premium, and the range-topping Premium SE. With so many trims, you might think that the most basic option, the S, is barebones. Surprisingly though, it has plenty of excellent features, making it an easy car to live with at an appealing price point.
The family hatchback is one of the most purchased car body styles on the market, thanks to its practicality and low price point. As such, it's a challenging market full of good cars, making it hard to stand out from the crowd. However, Hyundai has successfully done so, and the i30 easily competes with competitors like Ford and Volkswagen. It's very much a 'Jack of All Trades' of a car - it drives well, and it's comfortable and stylish. It offers a little bit of everything, which means it's an excellent choice for those who use it to do a little bit of everything. Incredibly practical for families, fun to drive, and stylish inside - you really can't go wrong with the i30. The features on the highest trims are incredible, too. Of course, the features available will depend on which year, model, and trim you purchase.
Hyundai's main draw for the i30 is that it's a great family car. However, this doesn't mean it's dull to drive, especially if you opt for an N Line i30. This is Hyundai's 'hot hatch' i30 and offers some meaty engine options. This is an excellent choice for someone who likes fast cars but also needs a practical car. Inside the i30, the materials are solid and there are no cheap plastics to be found. It manages to be high-tech without being obnoxious, and the dashboard has just the right amount of buttons and dials on show. If you're not a fan of premium, over-the-top interiors, then you'll be pleased with the i30's simplicity. As the i30 is relatively affordable from new, you'll be able to find a large amount of Hyundai i30s at bargain prices on the used-car market. Even better, the 5-year warranty carries over, even if you didn't buy the car from new.
