The compact segment continues to be the most successful in our country , despite the appearance of its SUV versions. Four years ago the Hyundai i30 was released, the Korean firm’s proposal to fight against bestsellers such as the Seat León, Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus or the Peugeot 308. The arguments were strong, starting with a price that was below the The vast majority, only at the level of other compacts such as the Fiat Type or the Skoda Scala , of worse perceived quality and less equipped. They have been seen in our streets, one more demonstration of the good work of the firm, which has known how to adapt to European tastes generation after generation. However, the Hyundai i30 had a facelift to face its last commercial years.
These facelift or restyling do not usually stand out for being remarkable. The Hyundai i30 has changed little on the outside, with slight tweaks that focus on the front end and the combination of colors and wheels. It is in the technological and mechanical section where we can notice the difference. The cabin debuts a multimedia system of up to 10.25 inches, with wireless connection for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Among the ADAS systems (help and safety), the Lane Follow Assist stands out, which guides the car to the center of the lane . As for the engines, it debuts micro-hybrid technology for the most powerful options, with a newly developed gearbox capable of disengaging in certain inertia situations.
With these changes, the Hyundai i30 remains an option to consider for the general public. A compact that does not stand out for its sporty character but for its functionality and comfort while on the move, with a well-finished cabin and a pleasant perceived quality. The boot , with a capacity of 395 liters, is average and its square shapes allow full use of the surface. If you are looking for a smaller vehicle, but want to stay on the brand, you can always go for the newly introduced Hyundai i20, from which we expect its sporty i20 N variant in no time.
