Performance, power and 0-100 km/h
2025 Hyundai i30 1.5 T-GDi has the quicker recorded 0-100 km/h time at 8.2 seconds, compared with 8.4 seconds for 2025 Kia Ceed 1.5 T-GDi. Their listed outputs are also identical at 160 hp. Both specifications list 253 Nm of torque. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.
Range, battery, charging and efficiency
2025 Kia Ceed 1.5 T-GDi has the lower recorded consumption at 6.6 L/100km; 2025 Hyundai i30 1.5 T-GDi is listed at 6.7 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
Both specifications quote 395 litres of cargo capacity. 2025 Hyundai i30 1.5 T-GDi is 30 mm longer overall. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.
