The Hyundai i30 Tourer is the estate companion to the i30 family hatchback and it’s brimming with safety kit. It’s also a stylish and practical car and a very capable cruiser, but it’s let down slightly by odd steering and an uninvolving driving experience.

I own a 2017 i30 estate. It's an excellent car and drives / handles better than the reviewer is suggesting.

@christill 6 жыл бұрын

We need more of these. Cars that have space and are also efficient and aren’t unnecessarily high off the ground.

i30 is almost the perfect medium car. Very much like the japanese cars of the 90s. They are the new industry leaders from asia.

I don't know about the British prices but in Western EU the gap between Hyundai equipment levels are horrific. If you want to have sunroof, and the 8 inch screen it costs just shy of double the base price. Other similar brands have much better scaling here at least.

We don't get the i30 Tourer (Station Wagon) or the strangely named SEAT (not a chair?) here in Australia as far as I know. Guess we'll get the 'Tourer' eventually, in as much as we already have the top power 2 litre 'N' on sale, but DCT a month away so relearning gearshifts from the old days necessary (joke). Very good informative video by the way! Your big complaint, that of handling/steering would be fixed if you did what Aussie Hyundai do by re extensive recalibrating & setting by Hyundai special experts/engineers (Kia does it here too) to our particular wierdish conditions. I'd have thought your bigger market would have been on the ball, but in Oz, our conditions vary enormously & distances/high temps too!:-) ps.We 'seniors' havet he MY18/SR 1.6 turbo Premium Turbo 201hp DCT Premium hatch - enough for we 'oldies'.

I agree, plus if your working on a budget you get lots more as standard with this car even in the mid range than VWs or Skodas and in the flesh I think this car looks so much nicer.

So, is it better than a 2007 1.5dCi Mégane with 180k on the clock? I drove the 3 cylinder 1.0 i30, and believe it or not, my car has a smoother engine at idle and better transmission. OSV do the best reviews!

@conscienciapositiva8706 3 жыл бұрын

Why the reviews are only with the driver! The tests should be carried out with 4 passengers because the vehicle engine's behaviour is different Or is ilegal a drive test with passengers? Listening the sound without passengers the tests should be considered as "lack of evaluation".

Dual clutch automatic gearbox? Is it like saying semi auto like the auris 2008-2012. If so I am off

@Druze_Tito 3 ай бұрын

Most probably. I don't expect a torque converter automatic in this class. DCT (or automated manual) is the way they usually go.

For me its all about winning other cars, getting ahead of them when the lights turn green that sort of thing, I need the automatic so I can just floor it and not bother with dipping the clutch, is this hundi good for beating those pesky bmw cars?

Got to say the idea of flogging a 3 cylinder turbo engine with zero power doesn't turn me on. Give me an older larger sedan with a V6 petrol with relaxed cruisy performance and space any day.

@tmsr 6 жыл бұрын

They are surprisingly good and I'd rather have the fuel bill of the turbo. 1.0 litre turbo is pretty quick given how tiny it is.

where did i say that? sry but you can keep your stupid hater comments boy, seat leon interior is extremely boring as well, golf only looks ok in highline and ocativa only looks ok in higher trims but still not great, look at the new a-class, look at the bmw 1series, look at mazda 3, honda civic, new auris, those are nice interiors...but if you think hyundai looks exciting, then your lvl off excitement seems to be easy shattered ;)
