Detailed analysis of the Hyundai i30 5p 1.4 CRDi 90 CV Klass (2013-2015)
General description
The 2012 Hyundai i30 is not just a car; it's a statement of intent from a brand that came to conquer Europe. With this generation, Hyundai left behind any complexes, presenting a compact that could go head-to-head with the segment's benchmarks, combining an attractive design with a quality and sensibility that deeply resonated with thousands of drivers.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the i30 with its 90 hp 1.4 CRDi engine envelops you in an atmosphere of calm and efficiency. Don't expect acceleration that pins you to your seat; its soul is that of a faithful and economical travel companion. The engine delivers its power smoothly from low revs, and the six-speed gearbox allows for cruising on the highway with ridiculously low consumption and surprising quietness. It's a car that invites you to enjoy the journey without rushing, with a suspension that pampers occupants and steering that inspires confidence.
Design and aesthetics
Its design, dubbed 'fluidic sculpture,' was a breath of fresh air. Organic and dynamic lines run across a body that feels modern and well-proportioned, abandoning the sobriety of past generations. Inside, the leap was even greater. The dashboard, with its bluish lighting and enveloping shapes, welcomes you into a space where the materials and fit-and-finish demonstrate a care and quality that surprised everyone at its launch.
Technology and features
Although it may seem simple today, at the time the i30 offered a very decent technological package. The electric power steering, the common-rail direct-injection diesel engine with a variable geometry turbo, or the six-speed gearbox were strong arguments. It wasn't about overwhelming with screens, but about offering smart and proven solutions to make life on board easier, safer, and more economical—a pragmatic approach that many appreciated.
Competition
In a battlefield dominated by giants like the Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus, or the SEAT León, the Hyundai i30 bravely made its way. It didn't have it easy against such established rivals, but it knew how to play its cards: an exceptional quality-price ratio, a market-leading warranty, and a captivating design. It became the smart alternative for those seeking reliability and good craftsmanship without paying the premium for a more traditional badge.
Conclusion
The Hyundai i30 1.4 CRDi is the personification of a sensible and well-made car. It's a vehicle that wins you over not with adrenaline, but with the tranquility it conveys. It's economical, spacious, comfortable, and above all, a loyal friend you can rely on day after day. It represents one of Hyundai's biggest leaps in quality and a well-rounded product that, even today, remains an extraordinarily logical and satisfying purchase option.
