We reached the finish line in our test of the three-door Hyundai i30 with the 110CV diesel engine and the balanced Tecno S finish. The Hyundai i30 participates in the Internet Car of the Year 2013 and honestly, if he won, the prize would be deserved. We have seen a significant improvement compared to the previous model and is very close to some of its rivals in terms of qualities.
As we have already verified, comfortable and agile y makes do with little fuel. Without any concern we will be around 5-5.5 liters of consumption Because it is a three-door, the rear seats lose practicality when it comes to access and do not have a high clearance. It is a drawback, but we believe that whoever is looking for a three-door does so by image and will not give much use to the rear seats.
We are not able to find fault with it beyond the front seats without memory or the impossibility of being able to equip light and rain sensor or rear parking warning (if it is not accessing the superior finish and with 128CV). It is what the closed facilities have, although on the other side of the coin we get a five-year guarantee with no mileage limit. The guarantee is a reflection of the manufacturer's confidence in its products, and it is not for less.
Definitely, if the Hyundai i30 is among your purchase options take it into consideration, it is a well finished car, with good habitability in the front seats, comfortable and frugal.
A range with small gaps
To which if we can put any more hit is to the structuring of the three-door model range. Given the lower demand for the hatchback, the combinations we have available to choose from are much smaller. In fact, it is impossible to opt for the 90CV CRDi engine or the interesting 136CV direct injection GDI gasoline, which also works very well.
