Hybrids are awesome. EVs are cool too, but I think hybrids suit a wider group of people....for now.

I own a Hyundai i30 2011 with a 1.6L diesel engine and a manual gearbox, I love it. 22km/L. It was underpowered, remapped the ECU and now it makes 153 hp instead of 116, and that has improved the consumption.

This has been an issue for 60 years that I've been reading road reviews - sometimes testers have to take what they're given. Hyundai only have one grade. TOYOTA habitually only has top-spec models in their journalists fleet.

With the Corolla the Hybrid system is integrated with the transmission as it houses the electric motors (MG1/MG2) - big difference between its e-CVT (electric motors and planetary gear set) vs a conventional CVT (pulleys/chain)

Particularly for a test of these cars, where fuel economy is the main draw, It'd be prudent to use a comparison of actual fuel used (e.g. brimmed tank -> test drive -> actual fuel used determined from filling up) and gps-verified distance to calculate the actual fuel economy. Sometimes on-board trip computers can be optimistic.

The top trim i30 sedan leaves the Corolla for dead. I have the top time non-hybrid and I checked out both cars before purchasing the i30. It left the Corolla and Mazda 3 in its smoke. Not to mention the Auoto in the i30 is far superior to the Toyota for longevity.

Software problems, unless it was manufactured in the US. Poor quality workmanship is the US trademark forever. Korean made have only a couple of software issues and are reliable. I have seen over the last decade soo many Toyota CVTs being scrapped at less than 100,00 km, 60,00 miles. The only worse ones are the Nissans and Suburos. Don't buy American. The whole world knows that one. Only the Yanks don't. @@robertbruce2182

I’m not a fan of DCTs but the final nail in the coffin of the Hyundai is that incredibly annoying beeping and bonging from the speed alert system. It’s a deal breaker. Very distracting and dangerous. C’mon Hyundai, hurry up with a software fix for this. Cause until you do, all Hyundais and Kias are off my shopping list.

It was explained in the video that Hyundai hasn't started importing the higher-specification versions of the i30 Hybrid to Australia yet, so these were the variants available to compare. We ignored luxury features and concentrated on dynamics and value across the range. Cheers.

Choose the Toyota if you're going to go for either of these cars. Hyundai cars aren't generally as durable as Toyota's. They go okay for a little while then after the warranty expires you start getting all kinds of problems with their electrical systems, engines and turbochargers because of production cost cutting to make the car more affordable which costs you more in the long term.

Those fuel consumption tests were way too short. The results will be skewed by any refuel measurement variation which is a given when you are only putting a couple of litres in. Don’t tell me used the cars own measurement instead because that’s almost guaranteed to be miles off.
