We take a drive in the 2021 Hyundai i30 hatchback and provide an expert opinion on this small car.
The updated 2021 i30 is here with a new face, better interior technology, and now the option of a sedan. But with the hatchback traditionally accounting for over 90% of sales in Australia, what is the 2021 Hyundai i30 2.0L like? Will the new i30 remain one of Australia’s most popular vehicles? We grab the keys to the i30 Elite two litre hatch to find out.
Is the Elite the right grade of i30 to buy? Or should you go for the turbocharged i30 N-Line, even though it hasn’t got the new facelift? What is what that, anyway? Tom Baker explains.
What do you think of this car? Leave a comment below.

Agree, nice update to the front end. wheels look good too. Be interesting to see how radical the next generation design will be based on the Tuscon / Elantra.

Hi Chasing Cars, great video. But when is the new facelift for the I30 n line 1.6 manual coming out here in Sydney? I wanted the new facelift too but they only changed the interior for the i30 n line 1.6 manual. What the hell

At 7:00 talking about transmissions you didn’t mention that the N-line can be spec’d with a 6 speed manual as an alternative to the DCT. Also the base i30 and the i30N of course can be had as a manual for those who enjoy a more engaging drive. It’s a very sweet box.

I purchased the i30 MY21 three weeks ago.. my previous car was a i30 MY14.. I’m still getting used to where things are and still have some features to work out as it was a contactless purchase with no test drive. Not sure I’d recommend that as I think I would have gone for the elite model as I would love to have had blind assist.. I’m still very happy with my new car! It has plenty of new features..
@awm8221
@awm8221 2 жыл бұрын
It is very odd that Hyundai did not provide blind spot assist on the Active as well. A mid range should at least feature this important safety feature. I had a mid range Mazda Maxx 2018 model and it came with blind spot. Hyundai are a bit scabby with their inclusions

Great review. Went and checked this one out today, along with the n line premium hatch and the standard sedan. Have to say the sedan does look better in person but it really annoys me still about the premium’s front end. Not waiting to be disappointed by the full N so went and enquired about the Golf GTI TCR... now that I’m impressed with.

@Clove_Parma
@Clove_Parma 3 жыл бұрын
Apple charges licensing fees and makes car companies buy the wireless module from them. Because of that, and a captive market it’s remained higher cost than other changes. That said, there are cheap companies bringing out cars with it now, so it’s getting hard to justify the omission.

and even then, the 1.5 eTSI in the new Golf is more refined than the 2.0 in the Corolla. Yes probably less reliable, but it is buttery smooth and super quiet. On Highway trips 5.5 liter/100km is normal as well. Peak torque (250Nm) way down as well for effortless driving. I can use my toe and still move along with traffic.

Hyundai are lost with design, a long time ago they had the excel and it sold like hotcakes due to it being cheap and cheerful but then they re-designed it so much it lost it's appeal, then they came out with 2013 i30 and it was great again and people went back to Hyundai as the car of choice. the 2016 Elantra was a hot looking car, still looks great today on the road but then they killed it with the 2019 triangle headlights version, I don't think they sold very many of those! the i30 went all boring and granny looking too, yawn! now they are splitting it all up with the sedan going way off tap and the hatch only gets a new grill that is kind of just more of the same. Why, if they call a car an i30 would it not look the same across its models? The Fastback, the sedan, the wagon and the hatch should all look like the same cars with the variation being the type of car then buying one would feel more like a belonging to a well branded family of cars not be left wondering if you made the right choice cause the other models look so different. oh and while I'm here why in gods name can't you just option a manual or an auto gear box for any variation? I want to buy the i30 sedan N line premium with a manual gear box but I can't. I have to feel like I miss out on extra stuff cause I want to be more engaged when I drive a car! punished for doing it right! bad choice Hyundai!!!!!
