2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan price and specs

The updated Hyundai i30 Sedan range gains refreshed exterior and interior styling, as well as more choice – including a new hybrid powertrain for the first time.

Hyundai Australia has axed all manual transmission-equipped i30 Sedan models with the update, meaning the entry price has now risen by $3000.

The range now starts with the new i30 variant which replaces the Active nomenclature and starts at $29,000 before on-roads.

The new 1.6-litre hybrid engine, which also features in the related Kona and Kia Niro, is available on the entry-level i30, Elite, as well as the new Premium variants.

All i30 Sedan hybrid variants will follow after the petrol variants. The entry-level i30 variant is due in the first quarter of 2024, whereas the Elite and Premium variants are due in the second quarter of 2024.

The 2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan range continues to be topped by the sporty N Line and N Line Premium. Pricing for these models has risen by $2000 and $2500 respectively, compared to the pre-update.

On the outside the updated i30 Sedan receives refreshed styling, as well as automatic LED headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights across the entire range.

At the back there’s a “deeper and sportier” lower bumper with a diffuser-like design. A standard “H-lighting” tail light signature is standard across the range.

Inside there’s a revised charge pad for larger phones, front and rear USB-C ports, a customisable multifunction button on the steering wheel, and a revised 4.2-inch instrument cluster on the entry-level variant.

i30 Sedan variants with the larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system now receive Hyundai’s Bluelink connected services. Owners get a complimentary five-year subscription which can be transferred to subsequent owners within the five-year period.

Hyundai Australia hasn’t detailed the pricing for the full-fat updated i30 Sedan N as yet, though its local launch was recently delayed until the first quarter of 2024

Powertrains

The Hyundai i30 Sedan is available with three petrol-powered engines, depending on the variant.

The 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine produces 110kW of power and 180Nm of torque. This is now mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), instead of a six-speed automatic.

The two N Line variants are powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Hyundai Australia hasn’t detailed outputs for this engine, though in the pre-update model it produces 150kW and 265Nm.

The core i30 Sedan range is now available with a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. It pairs a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, a 32kW/170Nm electric motor, a 1.32kWh battery pack, and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Total system outputs for the i30 Sedan hybrid is 104kW of power and 265Nm of torque.

All the 2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan variants are front-wheel drive.

Efficiency

The Hyundai i30 Sedan with the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine consumes a claimed 6.1 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, whereas with the 1.6-litre hybrid it consumes a claimed 3.9 litres per 100km on the combined cycle.
