New Hyundai i30 starts at £15,195, with Turbo warm hatch from £22,495
Hyundai reveals full pricing of its updated i30 range, including the new 183bhp Turbo
Hyundai has released full pricing details and specs of its facelifted i30 family hatchback. Set to make its showroom debut in March after we see it at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Kia Cee'd rival's range will kick off at £15,195, with the Tourer starting from £16,895.
The refreshed exterior design gets Hyundai's latest family face, while in the cabin there are upgraded materials and new tech. Engines are also uprated to boost performance and efficiency, and there's the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for the first time.
That headline £15,195 price gets you the three-door i30 in base 'S' spec with the new 'Kappa' 98bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine, or the 108bhp 1.6-litre CRDI Blue Drive diesel for £17,195. It replaces the outgoing 'Classic', and comes with keyless entry, Bluetooth and air-conditioning.
Step up to SE trim from £16,495 to get 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, electric lumbar support, rear parking sensors and a leather wheel and gearknob. The SE Nav adds satnav and a rear-vew camera for another £1,000.
Premium is only available with the 118bhp 1.6-litre petrol or 134bhp diesel from £20,295, and brings along 17-inch alloys, auto-levelling HID headlights, heated leather seats, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel and keyless start.
The Korean firm has also announced details of a new warm hatch to rival the Peugeot 308 GT, called the i30 Turbo. It gets 183bhp from a new 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol unit, giving a 0-60mph time of 8 seconds. It costs £22,495 for the three-door model, rising by £500 for the five-door, but isn't availabe on the Tourer estate.
Standard equipment on the Turbo includes a sportier bodykit and 18-inch alloy wheels, a red-stitched leather steering wheel, sports suspension, sat-nav, part-artificial leather sports seats and LED tail lights.
