It was conceived in Rüsselsheim, Germany, at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre.

The i30 scored a 4.2 on the Euro NCAP crash tests for the 2008[5] model, and is an improvement on the 3.9 scored during the 2007[6] model.

The i30 awarded the full five star safety rating by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program.[7]

i30cw[edit]

The i30cw (a.k.a. i30 estate) was released in South Korea at the Seoul Motor Show in 2007,[11] and is marketed worldwide under slightly different names.

This model also entered the North American market for the model year of 2009, as the Elantra Touring. It is a larger, roomier version of the i30 hatchback. The i30 cw's maximum cargo volume is 65 cubic feet (1,800 L).

For the model year of 2012, the Elantra Touring wagon came with a 2.0-litre inline-four producing 138 hp (103 kW) and 136 lb⋅ft (184 N⋅m). The American EPA rates consumption at 23 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway (10 L/100 km and 7.8 L/100 km respectively). The Elantra Touring comes equipped with either a five-speed manual transmission without hill assist feature or a four-speed torque-converter non-manumatic automatic transmission.

The Hyundai Elantra Touring was originally available in either Base or Limited trim, each offering a similar level of equipment to its Hyundai Elantra sedan counterpart. Later the model names were changed to GLS and SE, with the SE being the more equipped model.

The i30cw/Elantra Touring scored high on the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests:[12]

Hyundai unveiled its next generation i30 at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show. The new i30 was designed and engineered at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and offers a choice of four engines with a total of six power options and CO2 emissions below 100 g/km due to an upgraded 1.6-litre diesel unit. The next generation i30 went on sale in Europe early in 2012, as a five-door hatchback. It is produced in Europe at the company's manufacturing facility in Nošovice, Czech Republic.

It was launched in South Korea since October 20, 2011, and it is the second model under Hyundai's Premium Youth Lab brand. The new Korean spec i30 is offered with a 1.6-litre Gamma GDi engine and a 1.6L VGT diesel engine.

The second generation i30 became available in the United States in the summer of 2012 for the 2013 model year, as the Hyundai Elantra GT, replacing the Elantra Touring nameplate. It made a premiere at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, along with the new Hyundai Elantra Coupe,[25] featuring the same 1.8-litre Nu MPI engine as the original Elantra MD sedan. In 2014, the 1.8L is replaced by the 2,0L Nu GDI engine, due to critics' opinions that the 1.8-litre wasn't sporty enough for the GT moniker. Available in a single trim level, the Elantra GT offered several different option packages which added additional features. A glass panoramic roof is available as an option.

In Malaysia, the second generation i30 was previewed during the 2013 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show and officially launched in March 2014.[26][27] For Malaysia, the i30 used a 1.8L engine and a torsion beam setup for the rear suspension.[28]

i30 Estate[edit]

An estate, or wagon, version of the second-generation i30 was premiered at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.[29] This model is also known as the i30 Tourer in some markets.

The wagon shares the same wheelbase as the hatchback and adds 185 mm in length. The increased length yields an extra 150 litres of boot capacity, taking the total to 528 litres. With the rear seats folded, the total cargo capacity is 1,642 litres, an increase of 326 litres over the hatch.

Elantra GT[edit]

2018 Elantra GT (Canada)

In some markets, the third-generation Hyundai i30 Hatchback is sold as the Hyundai Elantra GT. In the U.S., the Elantra GT is available in two distinct models: Elantra GT and Elantra GT Sport.

The base Elantra GT is powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.0L inline four-cylinder (I4) engine that produces 161 hp (120 kW) at 6,200 rpm, and 150 lb⋅ft (203 N⋅m) of torque at 4,700 rpm. This engine is shared with the standard Hyundai Elantra Sedan. The performance-oriented Elantra GT Sport, in addition to replacing the standard rear torsion-beam suspension with an independent suspension,[35] is powered by a turbocharged 1.6L I4 engine that produces 201 hp (150 kW) at 6,000 rpm, and 195 lb⋅ft (264 N⋅m) of torque at 1,500-4,500 rpm. This engine is the same engine as equipped in the Kia Forte Hatchback SX Turbo and the Kia Soul Exclaim (!) Turbo. Transmission choices for the Elantra GT are a standard six-speed manual transmission, or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. Transmission choices for the Elantra GT Sport include a standard six-speed manual transmission, or an optional seven-speed Dual Clutch automatic (DCT) transmission. "Drive Mode Select" is standard on cars equipped with either the automatic transmission, or the Dual Clutch (DCT) automatic transmission.

According to the Car and Driver, the GT Sport fell "short of delivering the buttoned-down refinement found in the class leaders when attacking twisting tarmac" and its body leans more than they would like in turns, "the electrically assisted steering lacks the precision and feel of the Honda Civic Sport hatchback and the GTI".[36]

For 2019, the Elantra GT Sport was replaced with the Elantra GT N-Line. The N-Line trim improves upon the Sport model with additional body welds, substantially stiffer springs, firmer engine and transmission mounts, a larger rear anti-roll bar, and revised damper tuning to reduce body lean and improve handling. The Elantra GT N-Line is similar to that of the i30 N-Line.[37]

The Elantra GT was discontinued in the US for the 2021 model year.[38] Hyundai directed buyers to its Venue and Kona crossovers instead, as well as the updated Elantra sedan and Veloster.

The 1.0-litre T-GDI and 1.5-litre T-GDI engines are coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid technology.[39]

For April 2024 production, the i30 gets a minor update of the front design.[40]

i30 Sedan[edit]

Main article: Hyundai Elantra (CN7)

The Hyundai Elantra (CN7) is sold as the i30 sedan in Australia, leveraging the use of the widely known "i30" nameplate there.[41][42][43]

Motorsport[edit]

A TCR racing version of the i30 N has been raced by various customer teams since 2017.[44] Gabriele Tarquini and M Racing-YMR won the 2018 World Touring Car Cup titles with the car. Tarquini's teammate Norbert Michelisz won a further drivers' cup in 2019.

A version of the i30 was developed for Next Generation Touring Car regulations for competition in the British Touring Car Championship, with its debut coming in 2020. This version of the car was titled the "i30 Fastback N Performance." The BTCC version of the car saw success, with Tom Ingram driving the car to the drivers' championship in 2022.
