The combination of excellent functionality such as roominess, good visibility and comfort is complimented by a sensuous and confident expression of design. In addition to Hyundai’s trademark Cascading Grille, the latest generation i30 five-door and Wagon now feature the new charismatic i30 Fastback bumper. Its sleek and elegant lines enhance the progressive and timeless look of both models, harmonising the design of the i30 range.
Exterior Design
The upright front of the New Generation i30 is confident and expressive, and further enhanced by the new front bumper. The signature Cascading Grille is characterised by a downward tapering gesture inspired by the flow of molten steel. In combination with the three-projector LED (low and high beam) headlamps and the vertical LED daytime running lights with indicator function, the New Generation i30 has a strong visual presence. To further enhance this, projector-type front fog lamps are integrated into the air curtain grids.
With its harmonious proportions, short front and rear overhangs, a long bonnet and a tapered roof silhouette, the car gets a sporty appearance and solid stance on the road. The New Generation i30 features a sophisticated sleek character line that flows naturally from the headlamp along the almost horizontal belt line to connect with the LED rear lamps and further wraps around the rear for a timeless appearance. The black rear spoiler enhances aerodynamics and makes the New Generation i30 look even more dynamic and compact. With a Coefficient of Drag of only 0.30, aerodynamic performance is enhanced through several measures including an Active Air Flap behind the front grille and air curtains on each side of the front bumper to enhance airflow and reduce turbulences in the wheel housing.
Its muscular wide rear design with a sculpted and 3-dimensional appearance and the signature light graphic incorporating the high-positioned reflectors and fog lamps set the car apart on the road.
The New Generation Hyundai i30 is available with 17-inch two tone 10-spoke alloy wheels, 16-inch two-tone 10-spoke alloy wheels or 15-inch alloy or steel wheels.
