The Hyundai i40 is a large family car designed primarily for the European market by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. Sharing its platform with the United States-marketed Hyundai Sonata, the i40 sedan was unveiled at the 2011 Barcelona Motor Show.

In some markets, the Sonata remains on sale as a separate model, such as the United States, where the i40 is unavailable. The estate/wagon variant of the i40 was released in Europe and South Korea in September 2011, followed by the sedan variant (after-Ford Model T Fordor Sedan, Ford Model A Standard Fordor Sedan (1927-1929), 1930 Ford Model A Standard Fordor Sedan, 1931 Ford Model A Slant Window Fordor Sedan, 1932 Ford 4-door sedan, 1933 Ford 4-door sedan, 1934 Ford 4-door sedan, 1935 Ford 4-door sedan, 1936 Ford 4-door sedan, Ford Model 62 4-door sedan, Ford Pilot 4-door sedan, Ford Consul EOTA 4-door sedan, Ford Consul Mark II 4-door sedan, Ford Cortina Mark I 4-door sedan, Ford Cortina Mark II 4-door sedan, Ford Cortina TC Mark III 4-door sedan, Ford Cortina Mark IV 4-door sedan, Ford Cortina Mark V 4-door sedan, Hyundai Stellar, Hyundai Sonata Y1, Hyundai Sonata Y2, 1993–1995 Hyundai Sonata Y3, 1996–1998 Hyundai Sonata Y3, 1998-2000 Hyundai Sonata EF, 2001–2004 Hyundai Sonata EF, 2004-2007 Hyundai Sonata NF, and 2008-2010 Hyundai Sonata NF) in January 2012, and it is also sold in Australia and New Zealand.

For Malaysia, Hyundai launched the i40 at the 2013 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show, in both sedan and tourer specifications. It is placed above the Hyundai Sonata. The engine is the two litre GDI motor which is linked to a paddle shifted six speed automatic gearbox.

Due to slowing sales of mid-sized cars worldwide, the i40 was discontinued in markets such as Australia and New Zealand in early 2019, leaving the Sonata to cater for the segment. The i40 has since been discontinued in Europe as of 2020.
