300Nm out of the little 1.6ltr, now that I like!
Would love to know what they change in tune to get the increase over the 260Nm version.

Turbo and ECU

The new turbo 1.6 petrol will also be 137kw - 183hp so I'm disappointed they're not putting in the same 150kw 1.6 from the Veloster

And transmission, the 7 speed duel clutch auto will handle a bit more me thinks....

Exactly.! Why won't Hyundai match the competitors in the C-segment: (all 1,6 diesel)

Opel Astra 1,6 CDTI: 136 HP/320 Nm
Suzuki S-cross 1,6 DDiS: 120 HP/320 Nm
Honda Civic i-DTEC: 120 HP/300 Nm
Peugeot 308 e-HDi: 120 HP/300 Nm

And then there's those who offers a real engine:

Ford Focus 2,0 TDCI 150HP/370 Nm
Skoda Octavia 2,0 TDI 150 HP/320 Nm
VW Golf 2,0 TDI 150 HP/320 Nm
Mazda 3 2,2 Skyactiv-D 150HP/380 Nm
Peugeot 308 e-HDi 2,0: 150HP/370 Nm

Hyundai have the 1,7 CRDi in the i40 with 136 HP/325 Nm. Can't that be used in the i30..

But will the new i30 diesel manual transmission equipped with 7 gears aswell? Since I drive a long way to work and it's on highway and I really think i30 needs another gear since it has a bit lower shift ratio.

No, the manuel gearbox is a 6-speed, but if I remember correct the revs in 6th gear was about 1400 when doing 80 km/h.

My old FD 5-speed does about 1800 revs @ 80 km/h.

They've gotten rid of the cd player and also removed the button to turn off the display, still no DRL's either

can't remember the last time I played a cd in the chariot, it's normally the radio or mp player, i think the cd player is a bit dated now if you have ipod or usb connectivity

This update has turned put to be disappointing. The front end is a bit meh.
And come on again the premium model is auto only!
I think i'll be owning base model cars the rest of my life!

Am I the only one that actually loves driving manual?

You're not on your own, elantraelite...unfortunately we're a dying breed...

April 1. was the D day for new I30s here. They are slowly but surely multiplying on car sites. So far only two diesels and loads of entry petrols. No turbo in sights so far

Dazzler · **Reply #24: April 03, 2015, 22:05:22**

Kristy at the local Hyundai says she has sold one which arrives next week (for me to look at)

Dazzler · **Reply #25: April 10, 2015, 02:51:51**

No Petrol Turbo for us either..

In essence, the i30 five-door hatch Series II is about a new optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission mated to an uprated turbo-diesel engine, petrol engine updates to meet the latest Euro5 emissions standards, cosmetic styling upgrades, and a notable upping of value and slicing of pricing. A rear-view reversing camera (which combines with four-sensor rear parking assist) is now standard.

The bolder new grille makes a more obvious link with the new Sonata and Genesis sedans.

A revamped Tourer (wagon) version of the i30 will also go on sale soon.

The three powertrains in the i30 line-up – 1.8- and 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol, and a 1.6 turbo diesel four – all have received attention for this upgrade.

The five model variants are: entry Active, new ActiveX, SR (which replaces the now benched Elite name), SR Premium and Premium.

Pity the 2K price drop would probably come off your trade too!

Doggie 1 · **Reply #28: April 10, 2015, 03:33:14**

Yeah, mine has too many kms now to trade it.
But even my mechanic commented on Wednesday when he serviced it that it's running beautifully.
Better than when new - just coming into its own, I reckon.
