Hyundai has introduced a ‘special edition’ i30 hatchback, featuring 3-door styling and additional standard equipment.
The i30 special edition delivers the same award-winning design, technology, safety features and passenger comfort of its sibling models, plus additional standard equipment supported by an efficient GDI engine.
The 3-door’s styling incorporates Hyundai’s ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language, including a more angular glasshouse silhouette and longer front doors
At the rear, a remodelled lower bumper area includes new horizontal, sculpted fog lamps, and a black insert at the bottom of the bumper creates the impression of a wider, lower rear design. The bumper also houses the rear parking sensors. Finishing the rear profile is a spoiler with LED high-mount stop lamp.
Exterior enhancements are rounded out by 16-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels.
The i30 special edition is available with the 1.6 litre GDi petrol engine from Hyundai’s Gamma engine family. This gasoline direct injection (GDi) offers excellent drivability, fuel economy and reduced emissions, achieving a 5-star ‘green vehicle guide’ rating for manual variant (4.5-star for the automatic).
The 1.6 litre GDi achieves 98kW @ 6300 rpm and 163Nm @ 4850 rpm and is available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic featuring sequential manual mode.
Designed to achieve a maximum 5-star safety rating, the i30 Special Edition offers a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety technologies.
Rear parking distance sensors are mounted in the rear bumper and provide an audible chime when objects are detected in the sensor zone offering added safety for reversing manoeuvres.
The i30 special edition also offers a speed limiter function, allowing the driver to define a speed which the vehicle will not exceed. In emergency situations, where acceleration beyond the set limit is required, the system is automatically overridden once full throttle is applied.
