The 1.0-litre T-GDI and 1.5-litre T-GDI engines are coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid technology.
Elantra GT[]
In some markets, the third-generation Hyundai i30 Hatchback is also 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, 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. Fuel economy ratings (estimated by the EPA) are as follows.
For 2019, the Elantra GT Sport was replaced with the Elantra GT N-Line. The N-Line trim is similar to the previous Sport trim with slightly different styling cues. The Elantra GT N-Line is similar to that of the i30 N-Line. The Elantra GT was discontinued in the US for the 2021 model year. Hyundai directed buyers to its Venue and Kona crossovers instead, as well as the updated Elantra sedan and Veloster.
Second generation (GD; 2011)[]
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, 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 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.
i30 Estate[]
An estate, or wagon, version of the second-generation i30 was premiered at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. 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.
i30 three-door[]
Introduced in the beginning of 2013, the aim of the three-door version is to attract younger buyers to the i30. The grille is given a more aggressive look than the five-door model.
First generation (FD; 2007)[]
The first generation Hyundai i30 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[2] model, and is an improvement on the 3.9 scored during the 2007[3] model.
The i30 awarded the full five star safety rating by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program.[4] The first generation i30 was officially launched in Malaysia in July 2009[6] where two engines were available: 1.6L (manual and auto) and 2.0L (auto only).[7]
i30cw[]
The i30 hatchback was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007, and released in July 2007 for Europe and Australia. The i30cw (a.k.a. i30 estate, also known as Elantra Touring) was released in South Korea at the Seoul Motor Show in 2007,[8] 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, more roomy 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 or a four-speed automatic transmission.[9]
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.
i30 blue[]
The i30 blue is a variation with Start&Stop technology (called Idle Stop and Go). United Kingdom versions came with 1.4L, 1.6L petrol or a 1.6L diesel engine, in both five-door hatchback or estate body styles. CO2 emission rating for the 1.6L petrol models were reduced to 142g/km (from 152g/km).
The car was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and was produced in Nosovice, Czech Republic. It went on sale in the United Kingdom in January 2008.[11] and had ISG as an option, costing £200.
