Hyundai’s new third-generation i30 has a tough job to compete in a fiercely competitive segment dominated by the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf.
UK CEO Tony Whitehorn believes there is a compelling case for customers to buy the car with better design inside and out. Hyundai engineers have also worked hard on making the new i30 a much better car to drive compared to the mk2.
Unlike the second-generation i30, customers can expect more variants with the mk3, too. Beyond the five-door hatchback on sale now, the estate arrives in May, a high performance N model in early autumn and a four-door coupe at the end of 2017. Alongside a facelifted i10 city car, the Plug-in Ioniq mid-year and a supermini SUV in the second half of 2017, it equates to seven new models for Hyundai UK within 12 months.
On the back of a record-breaking 92,500 UK sales in 2016 with only the Ioniq launching that year, and with Hyundai as one of only four of the top 10 volume brands to show growth alongside Audi, BMW and Mercedes, Whitehorn is understandably bullish about his dealers helping to top that figure in 2017.
Of the i30 hatchback models out now, Hyundai UK believes its new 140bhp turbocharged 1.4 petrol model will be the best seller. The i30 is the first model to take the new engine and should grab 40% of sales.
Prices start from £20,395 for the SE Nav manual recording 52.3mpg and 124g/km of CO2; a dual-clutch DCT gearbox is an option, but dents economy and emissions slightly to 51.4mpg and 125g/km.
The cheaper 120hp 1.0 petrol S (56.5mpg and 115g/km) kicks off the range at £16,995 and is predicted to take about 20% of sales, but in reality the bulk of the i30 models’ prices sit firmly above £20k, topping out with the 110bhp 1.6 diesel Premium SE DCT auto at £24,745.
The diesel unit should be almost as popular as the 1.4 petrol, and make up the other 40%, but mainly on account of the manual version which offers 74.3mpg and 99g/km.
Equipment levels across the board are generous, especially in terms of safety, with lane departure and forward collision warning kit plus autonomous emergency braking and hill start assist standard on all models, as are DAB and Bluetooth.
The eight-inch floating infotainment screen with colour satnav is standard from the mid-range SE Nav spec upwards and is a quality marker for the brand but then again, all bar the 1.0 petrol version of the SE Nav trim cost more than £20,000, which seems like a lot for a Hyundai hatchback.
Maybe times and customer perceptions have changed. Either way, the i30 mk3 is certainly a better all-round package than the mk2 and a worthy rival to the mainstream, well beyond cost alone.
