Test Drive Hyundai I30 since 2012 hatchback

Test Drive Universal Hyundai I30 and Hyundai I40: Brothers of Different Professions

Korean brands still practically did not please the lovers of universal. But the times are changing, and practical five-year two formats immediately come to our market. Do they turn the attention of the Russian buyer? After all, he, without recognizing the semi -mer, prefers solid sedans or crossovers.


You managed to ride the test cars in Lviv only with the latest rays of the setting sun Thank you for the airline UTair for 4-hour seats in Moscow Vnukovo! And immediately another disappointment: there are no diesel cars in a series of cars brought to Ukraine. Hyundai i30 with a 1.6-liter heavy fuel engine rated by as much as 80 thousand more expensive than gasoline fellows, but hardly a lot of buyers want to pay blindly. While the ability of such a modification remains a mystery for all.


Supervisory buyers Hyundai i30 can choose a diesel engine. With a volume of 1.6 liters, it develops 128 hp. 2 horses are smaller than gasoline analog. The engine is aggregated exclusively with a machine gun and is available in the singular Optima configuration.

The gasoline engine is distinguished by a rarely smooth character without failures or pickups. Its 130 forces form a fairly vigorous pair with six steps of a manual box. Their possibilities are more than enough in the city feature. They will not get strong discomfort they are on the track. The 6-speed automatic predictably worsens temperament, causing carefully to choose space for overtaking. I recommend using in this case manual mode: with intense acceleration from the cruising speed, the automatic transmission dumps only two steps, although the engine is more like the third transmission. Otherwise, there is no complaints about the work algorithm. Switching occur gently and without delay. Even the torn pace of ride does not knock off the control unit: no throwing between speeds does not allow a box.


The increase in length did not violate the harmony of complex thirtieth lines. The bulky I30 also does not look like, while possessing a decent capacity. Economic buyers will appreciate.

Not the best roads of Ukraine excellent verification for the chassis. The thirtieth ended the test, without deserve any complaints. The irregularity of a different caliber car passes confidently and, importantly, quietly. The latter refers to the work of the suspension themselves and to noise insulation. Road clearance of 150 millimeters is small, but the springs with the shock absorbers do not allow the bunch of the body, which eliminates the contacts of protection of the crankcase and thresholds with the roadpapers. Skipping the elastic ball on the cafeteria, the i30 will not hurry on the highway with insidious transverse waves and rigid joints. Hyundai Solaris or KIA CEED is no longer remembering about the relationship with stratum in this discipline. There is neither unpleasant digging of the feed or dangerous deposits from the trajectory. Alas, you failed to check the car with full load. But he convinced his behavior that she would not hit the dirt face in this mode.


The folded back does not form a step on the floor, but there is no perfectly smooth surface. The volume of the trunk varies from 528 to 1,642 liters. Outlet in all equipment is full-size, on the same disk as the main wheels.

The inhabitants of the cabin are surrounded by caring, perhaps even above the average level. The main compliment to noise insulation. There were those times when the golf class crossed the continuous broadcast of sounds from the outside, and Koreans clearly learned this rule. But climate control seems to be attributed to the number of excesses. The Hyundai I30 wagon offers it in the equipment for, to put it mildly, immodest 899 and 949 thousand rubles. In the same category, the rain sensor was hit, heating the wiper rest zone, alloy wheels, fog and LED ribbon running lights. But the maximum set of security tools is already in the second install Optima. There are six airbags and a complete set of electronic assistants, including ESP. In the most expensive version of Explore, only the knee inflatable pillow for the driver is added to them.


Fuel level pointers and coolant temperature at the Hyundai I40 instrument combination (at the bottom) are more informative. But in the i30 faster, you find the numbers of the intake air temperature. The only drawback of the color illumination solution is imperceptible on its background pictogram of the inclusive headlights included.

Five people Hyundai i30 not only welcome, but also transported with due comfort to not very long distance. For example, to the cottage. But when transporting the lengths, the number of passengers will have to shorten. The hatch in the back of the rear sofa is not provided, so please add part of the back. Gallery with such a layout accommodates only one saddle. Front seats are comfortable. On them, despite the small number of adjustments, I easily found the optimal landing that I did not reconfigure the entire trip. This happens always even in the case of much more expensive machines. Given the Russian realities, heating the chairs is incorporated into the basic configuration.


The front panel Hyundai I30 (photo at the top) seems more rich keys, although the options are fortified, of course, more. Buttons on the lower knobs are not very comfortable in both models.

The luggage compartment is convenient in shape and delights the volume. Small things will take a deep tray under falsetol, and in a 12 volt outlet on the right side you can connect, for example, a compressor. Other excesses are not provided. Yes, and whether they need if everyone contributes to the final cost of the machine?

Other business is Hyundai i40. Getting acquainted with him from the trunk. All the main differences from the sedan are hidden here. In the basic complete set of Comfort, not only the horizontal curtain, but also the vertical grid behind the back of the rear sofa. She protects passengers from loose things in an emergency situation, and the driver from the light riding the rear of cars. More expensive execution of Style adds a grid to the set to fix the cargo and the railway system. Finally, the maximum level of equipment PREMIUM will leave the driver's hands clean even in the winter slush: in such an i40 there is a fifth door electric drive. The control keys are located on the front panel in the cabin, on the control panel of the central lock and the lid itself of the trunk.


Front I40 looks like all the other Hyundai, standing out only by the line of LED lights. Raligations are made almost twenty with the roof, which has a positive effect on aerodynamics.

Prayer with numerous freight compartment options, inspect the silhouette of the machine. The fortieth is very harmonious in any perspective and does not deserve a coarse shed epithet, which are often awarded large five-year. It is gratifying that the designers showed moderation in the use of chromium: it is exactly as much as necessary on the body. Unless in bending of the eyebrows of the front LED tapes feel some bust. I believe that Hyundai I40 deserves the title of one of the most stylish universal.


The appearance of the i40 deserves a nameplate named Sport Touring or a similar one. It is good that Koreans did not succumb to temptation: 200 km / h of maximum speed and 11 seconds in acceleration until the first hundreds do not confirm the loud title.

It is a pity that it is worthy to maintain a dynamic silhouette of a technical filling not in the power. The curb weight of even the most simple supermarket Hyundai i40 exceeds one and a half tons. Tabuna in 150 hp For such a car, it is clearly not enough for such a car, but there is no alternative. Even the terminal switching of a 6-speed box cannot help. I remember the experience of last day with the younger brother Hyundai I30 and turn to manual control. Moreover, it is more convenient for fortieted: the submissive petals of the box are put on all versions. But burning silence in the cabin and the surrounding abundance of options quickly knock down the arm. I will turn on better cruise control or relax for going on decent 100-110 km / h Four. This mode is suitable I40 much more. To travel on it, choose a wide or, at worst, night tracks.


Payback for a stylish profile with a lower back wall volume of the trunk. Hyundai i40 is almost 300 millimeters long fellow, but it does not affect the capacity. The winnings are only 25 liters with a five-seater layout of the cabin and 30 liters with a folded sofa. The hatch for the long periods is not provided here.

Disappointed and chassis. The front suspension scares breakdowns on, it would seem innocuous irregularities. And this is not due to the tankodromes, which in Ukraine in excess. I remember, Hyundai I30 suffered yesterday the same road silently. There is nothing about energy intensity. On 16-inch wheels, the car is softer, but the lack still totate. Adds discomfort and a routing, which occurs when driving with a small move. Clearance here is even less than 140 millimeters. Heartzocking sounds from matches with the residues of asphalt with your ears are provided. After traveling on two I-universal, the impression was the impression that the older model did not prepare for a meeting with Eastern European roads. However, Moscow residents can miss all the observations described above. In the capital, these features of Hyundai I40 will not become a big problem.


The 17-inch wheels will be guarded on tray roads. As they are forces, bright xenon headlights will be reproached. In the maximum configuration of Premium, the light is adaptive: a swivel xenon lens helps a halogen lamp for highlighting the coolest turns. On the sidewall bumper, an additional sensor of the fleet.

Looking around in the cabin, you understand that it was the main priority of the creators of the car. About 15 years ago, such a set of equipment was only among representatives of the highest light from Germany. There are ventilation of the front armchairs, the heating of the rear sofa and the steering wheel, a panoramic roof with a large hatch, an automatic parking machine. According to the rear seat, the model will give odds to many classmates, not objective against the trips in fist. The assessment perfectly deserves the seats profile of both rows. Ergonomic miscalculations for one and a half days spent with I40, I did not notice. Is that someone does not like the abundance of buttons on the center console. The remark is valid if they require frequent presses. But in fortieth climates, the control works great in automatic mode, and the main functions of the audio system are duplicated on the steering wheel. Rare amendments will be made during stops on traffic lights, so do not find crack.


Three-stage heating and ventilation provide comfort on leather seats at any time of the year. Sport key on the right half, among other settings, makes heavier steering. Extremely by the way: in the usual mode it is too unformative. I accidentally press the kesen buttons this moment I checked separately.


A practical solution with a retractable video camera, unfortunately, did not move from the hatchback I30 to the universal. Here, the peephole lives near the layout of the license plate lighting. He is useless even in the rain, not to mention slush.

The price list on the Koreans, alas, not the first year not to distinguish between the price tags on the model of European brands with almost a century-old history. 769,000 rubles for the average level of equipment Hyundai i30 Optima look good against the background of competitors, but this is for a car with mechanics. Universal with automatic transmission more than 50,000 rubles. It is curious that the top packs for 949 thousand rubles from the car two. Explore offers a driver's knee airbag, parking sensors, rear view chamber and navigation system. Vision version is deprived of them, but illuminates the road by adaptive xenon headlights and folds the side mirrors using an electric drive. What is more important to choose the buyer.

The prices for the Hyundai I40 wagon are still unknown. Sedan in three sets costs from 1,089,000 to 1,398,000 rubles. I assume that for the fifth door and several original options will ask another 70-100 thousand. Dont need it, thanks! Even taking into account the generous equipment, the car does not threaten the rude demand. Especially if you remember the modest two-liter engine. With such a sum, you can safely open the doors of the dealer centers of a large German triple, trying on the Audi A4, BMW 3 series and Mercedes-Benz C-class. How not to remember the truly People's Hyundai Sonata Fourth Generation
