Test Drive Hyundai I30 since 2012 hatchback

Not eagle but eagle

Advanced design, reinforced power, improved dynamics, an extensive list of standard options, a decrease in harmful emissions before record indicators, everything is done so that the new i30 pleased its owners and contribute to the increase in Hyundai sales in the highest consequent market segment with the class.
Finally, this model began to look worthy of equal with the main players in its class. True, with some angles and in some details, the second generation of I30 is reminded of something Mazda (for example, in the profile of the front wing and the hood is prescribed), or Golf (when looking at the stern), or Opel Astra (If you look from the back of the back). Nevertheless, such a solution is better than the absence of a clear idea in the first generation of the model. Ascetic Europeans have long been accustomed to that in this class everything should be modestly and simply, but we will give something more acute and gripping. And here filed. New thinking. New features The motto under which the novelty stands, designed specifically for the European market in the Hyundai Technical Center in RüsselCheim, Germany, has all the chances to repeat the success of the car of the previous generation, which began selling sixth in C-grade in Europe.
I in the present I30 I especially like his look direct, experiencing studying. View of the bird of prey, which knows what is its strength and advantages. The headlights of the new i30 are really written off from the eye of a dangerous feathery. Not an eagle, but someone smaller. Orlyc or Eagleka. But still a predator. In such a car, you already want to sit down to try to try it in business and tame.
Behind the wheel, there was also a lot more comfortable and modern. And although the A la Asian decoration of the salons, which even the American cars like Ford Focus are sinned, in principle, I do not in spirit, but the new i30's salon looks more advantageous. And he left the simplicity, the prosperity and even some chic became noticeable. Recall: the former Hyundai I30 looked more modest than its co-owner of technically identical Kia Ceed, but was more expensive (so that it was clear, who is the owner's house). Now all in their places. The question is why the i30 is worse than Kia Ceed, no longer arise.
And the former I30 had a good ergonomics (large buttons, clear Volks-Women's instruments). But driving a new hatchback feel like in a sleek Mazda or in a decent Ford. Plastic torpedo is more contemporary, and the steering wheel is not trimmed with the skin so rude as on the first model. The new i30 is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, which gives the model more sportiness and so necessary now to promote aggressiveness. The length increased by 2 cm (total 4.3 m), a width of 5 mm (1.78 m), the height decreased to 1.47 m, and the road clearance specially increased for Russia to 1 cm to 15 cm. Wheel base is the former. As a result, in front and on the rear sofa, it became noticeably spacious.
There is where to attach elbows and do not feel squeezed as in the bank. Car with diesel 110 liters. with. Strip and pleasant (still 260 nm!). The motor accelerates the machine to hundreds in 12 seconds and consumes about 6 liters in a mixed cycle (4.0 l / 100 km, according to the company). But the Russians, I am sure there will be more milly gasoline Gamma GDI 1.6 l with overclocking to hundreds for 10 s. The car with him is now enough torque on the bottoms, and there is no harsh voice that was before. A comparison of the new i30 with Kia Ceed for all indicators a separate song, but, in my opinion, the novelty from Hyundai has become better managed: it has collected and adequacy in which the model has previously yielded to the Costlatform. Yes, some sportiness is obvious, although frankly sports pedals are already busting.
In turns, the new I30 comes more than the previous one (the more clear mood of the new electric power steering is affected), but the speed in the turns should still be chosen far from the limit. Otherwise, the same amplifier suddenly begins to nomadic, not letting the baton, sticking the car in turn.
