NEW GENERATION i30 THREE-DOOR TO DEBUT AT 2012 PARIS MOTOR SHOW
• Third member of New Generation i30 family to broaden range's appeal• Dynamic styling incorporates new front, side and rear design features
• Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, for Europe
High Wycombe, 14 September 2012 Ahead of its world debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the New Generation i30 three-door has today been revealed. The third member of the New Generation i30 family, the three-door joins the five-door hatchback and the Tourer to extend the broad appeal of Hyundai's 'made for Europe' C-§egmènt range to an even wider audience.
Central to the appeal of the three-door is its distinctive, sporty styling. Incorporating Hyundai's 'fluidic sculpture' form language, the new model's sharply-raked beltline, more angular glasshouse silhouette and longer front doors provide it wîth a more dynamic profile, and the effect is enhanced by changes to front and rear styling.
A new, black-finished mesh insert and central bar accentuate Hyundai's hexagonal grille, which is flanked by new, sportier fog lamp clusters consisting of round spots connected to LED daytime running light strips. The mesh treatment is continued in the clusters, and the front-end design is completed by a newly-profiled lower bumper.
At the rear, the remodelled lower bumper area includes new horizontal, sculpted fog lamps that contrast wîth the upright units of the five-door. These lights and a new black insert at the bottom of the bumper create the impression of a wider, sportier rear design. Exclusive 16-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior transformation.
Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai Motor Europe, said: The New Generation i30 three-door has been conceived solely for Europe, and will strengthen Hyundai's presence further in the §egmènt where we have seen our greatest success since 2007. Just as important, its sporty looks offering a fresh interpretation of fluidic sculpture will generate greater brand awareness and enhance consumer perceptions of Hyundai in Europe.
New Generation i30 three-door retains the positive characteristics of the five-door, providing high standards of quality, equipment and comfort. Drivers will experience Europe-tuned ride and handling, and can alter the settings of the FLEX STEER system to change §teering assistance depending on their preference and prevailing conditions.
The New Generation i30 is offered wîth a choice of four engines and five power outputs, together wîth six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The highlight of the powertrain range is the 'Ú-II' 1.6-litre diesel engine, generating 128PS yet emitting only 97g/km of CO2. Together, these figures deliver the best power-to-efficiency ratio in the §egmènt.
The New Generation i30 provides the best evidence yet of Hyundai's commitment to producing cars in Europe, for Europe combining the design and engineering expertise of the team at Hyundai's European R&D Centre in Germany wîth the proven manufacturing excellence of the company's Czech factory.
Buyers of the New Generation i30 will benefit from 5 Year Triple Care, comprising a five-year unlimited warranty, five years' roadside assistance, and five years of vehicle health checks.
The New Generation i30 three-door will be officially unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show during the company's press conference at 17:00 (CET) on Thursday 27 September 2012, on the Hyundai booth.Source - Hyundai
NEW GENERATION I30 TOURER AWARDED MAXIMUM FIVE-STAR EURO NCAP RATING
• New Generation i30 Tourer attains highest European safety rating• Score of 90% in both 'child occupant' and 'adult occupant' tests
High Wycombe, 18 October 2012 - The Hyundai New Generation i30 Tourer has been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating by independent vehicle assessment organisation, Euro NCAP. These latest results give the Tourer the same safety rating as the five-door model - itself one of the safest cars in class.

In the 'adult occupant' category, it scored 90% and was praised for the good protection afforded by the front head restraints against whiplash in the event of a rear-end impact.
New Generation i30 Tourer scored well in the 'pedestrian' test, maintaining maximum points for the protection to pedestrian's legs provided by the bumper. Electronic stability program, as well as a front and rear seatbelt reminder system, contributed to the car's score of 86% in the 'safety assist' category.
Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and COO of Hyundai Motor Europe, commented, 'The five-star rating shows our commitment to developing cars specifically for Europe and providing the highest levels of safety for Hyundai customers. Our strategy of making cars 'in Europe, for Europe' continues to prove successful, attracting new consumers to Hyundai's design, quality, safety and value.'
The New Generation i30 Tourer is the latest Hyundai model to achieve the maximum five-star score in Euro NCAP's rigorous assessment programme, following the original i30, i20, ix35, ix20, i40, Veloster and New Generation i30 five-door hatchback.
Every New Generation i30 on sale in Europe comes wîth Hyundai Five Year Triple Care. This award-winning customer assurance package includes a five-year warranty wîth no mileage limit, five years of roadside assistance and five years of vehicle health checks.
