i30 Elite

These days the i30 badge stretches across a sprawling 16-model line-up that encompasses hatchback, sedan and fastback body styles, along with multiple engine and transmission options.

Exterior & Interior Features

Contemporary design inside and out, intuitive infotainment system, five-year warranty, good boot space, full-size alloy spare.

Vehicle Body Features

Either engine runs on a 91RON minimum and our Elite test subject is advertised as returning a combined consumption claim of 7.4L/100kms.

During our assessment our example showed around the mid eight-litre mark on its onboard computer, which is quite handy given driving was skewed towards urban running about (claimed to be a much thirstier 10.1L/100km figure). Pretty good, though the more powerful 1.6 turbo engine is said to be more economical still (at 7.1L combined).

Car Safety Features

Turbocharged oomph can be, some may see more value in pocketing the $1700, getting more safety gear and accepting the lesser performance as well as lower running costs associated with the i30 Elite’s more basic non-turbo engine.
