The 2024 Hyundai i30 is a petrol hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the PD LCI2 generation. The 1.5 T-GDi 48V is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.5 T-GDi 48V version develops 160 hp and 253 Nm (187 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.4 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 210 km/h (130 mph). Its power output is about 25% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 16% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.2 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 47.0 litres (12.4 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 141 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,340 mm (170.9 in) in length, 1,795 mm (70.7 in) in width, and 1,455 mm (57.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,650 mm (104.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 395 litres (13.9 cu ft), expanding to 1,301 litres (45.9 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,365 kg (3,009 lb). That cargo volume is about 7% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.5 T-GDi 48V and N Performance. Across the range, the specifications span 160 hp to 280 hp and 5.4 s to 8.4 s, while listed starting prices run from $26,500-$34,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol hatchback models from the same period, the 2024 Hyundai i30 is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
