Hyundai unveils new i30 model
THIS is the first picture of Hyundai’s next generation i30.
The Korean carmaker expects this latest version will build on the success of its original version, which was its first car with the i prefix and the herald of a new era for its sales in Europe.
The original i30 was the first model which Hyundai designed and engineered in Europe and built at its Czech plant. It was also the company’s first car to gain the Euro NCAP five-star rating.
The i30 went on to become Hyundai’s best-selling unit in Europe.
This latest i30 continues with the design philosophy of ‘fluidic sculpture’.
Allan Rushforth, of Hyundai Motor Europe, said: “We expect the new-generation i30 to appeal to young,progressive buyers who want a car that not only performs well but looks great too. In this way, the new-generation i30 will contribute to future sales success, growing brand awareness and improving perceptions of Hyundai among European consumers.”
“The car has been designed to take on the leading vehicles in the C-segment and join the all-new i40 as a quality benchmark for Hyundai. Our ultimate customer care package, Five Year Triple Care, will be a valuable point of differentiation for the new-generation i30 in its highly competitive class.”
The Five Year Triple Care package provides five-year unlimited-mileage warranty, roadside assistance and vehicle health checks.
