If you’re in the market for a car that’s dependable, practical and affordable, then a used Hyundai i30 is a great choice. This stylish Hyundai hatchback offers decent handling and performance, but remains cheap to run. The vehicle's spacious interior has various pieces of high-tech equipment, while the advanced driver-assist functions enhance peace of mind and driver enjoyment.
Hyundai built the i30 with petrol, diesel and mild hybrid engines, paired with a manual or an automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolThe i30 hatchback has more than sufficient room for a growing family, and its cabin is supportive and well-connected.
Interior spaceHyundai saw the need for a stylish hatchback, so the company joined with a former BMW design executive to produce the i30 in 2007. It instantly became one of the best compact segment models of its time, gaining UK popularity and accolades. Well into its third generation at this point, the i30 continues to receive upgrades that keep it competitive and desirable for today's drivers.
Hyundai had already appeared to perfect the design of the i30 by the time the third generation arrived. Aside from a larger glass area added to the third window behind the back doors and a redesigned available roof spoiler for some models, much of the styling remained the same. This new lineup received more modern tech and comfort features.
Several facelifts have occurred since its introduction. For example, a 2018 update revealed redesigned lines that appeared more elegant, while the 2020 refresh added a new bumper, giving the i30 a more striking look. A 2024 facelift upgraded the front grille and lower bumper, so that's why used i30s will look slightly different from one another, depending on when they were made.

It wasn't long after the i30 was initially released that Hyundai decided to start a new generation for the city car. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this lineup was the comfortable suspension that gave the i30 great handling characteristics. There were also several powertrains to choose from, allowing for more power or efficiency, depending on the driver's wants and needs.
In terms of technology, this i30 was ahead of its time. Bluetooth connectivity, LED running lights and other top features were supplied as part of the standard kit. Its boot was also one of the largest in the segment, making the i30 a great choice for growing families.

Sharing a platform with the Kia Ceed, the i30 filled a need in the compact segment, and the hot hatch design was popular with enthusiasts. There were some elements that matched the Mazda 3 hatchback, especially in the rear, while the front looked similar to the Ford Focus. However, the grille was smaller than what was found on the similar Kia.
In the cabin, Hyundai offered a variety of dashboard and door panel colours, along with several different material options. There were also a few different powertrain options, allowing for more personalisation.

The petrol engines have been slightly more popular than the diesels, but probably only because they have been offered in greater numbers. The diesel engine is the most efficient, so this is worth looking for.
Various models have been offered over the years, including Active, SE, SE Nav, Style, N-Line and N. The SE tends to be the most popular, with several of its variants offering more features. For example, the SE Connect comes with air conditioning, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors.
Customers should look out for heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control, which can add to the comfort inside the i30. There's also a digital driver's display and a wireless charging pad for customers who want more technology included.
The i30 is a great choice for families. There is plenty of room for up to three children in the back seat, and it also has a decent amount of boot space for the segment and lots of standard kit.
Hyundai hasn't yet built a plug-in hybrid variant of the i30. However, some of the petrol engines include mild-hybrid technology to improve the efficiency.
Yes, there have been powertrains offered with an automatic transmission. The majority of used i30 models have a manual gearbox, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a setup with an automatic.
No, as a compact hatchback, Hyundai only built the i30 with front-wheel drive. Regardless of the engine chosen, the power is distributed to the front wheels only.
