Hyundai i30 2017–2020 car dimensions: 4335 mm long, 1795 mm wide and 1451 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,475 kg. Braked towing is 1,600 kg.
The cabin has supportive N sports seats with lumbar support and blue stitching. An 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is standard. Dual-zone climate control keeps temperatures steady. Cruise control with speed limiter eases motorway runs. Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera with guidelines help in tight spots. Standard driver aids include autonomous emergency braking with forward collision warning, lane keep assist and driver attention warning. Blind spot warning is not offered.
Boot space is 395 litres with seats up, dropping slightly to 381 litres with the Performance rear stiffness bar fitted. Fold the 60:40 rear seats and capacity rises to 1301 litres, or 1287 litres with the bar. The load floor is not fully flat and the bar can hinder long items, but everyday shopping and weekend bags fit fine.
Braked towing capacity is 1600 kg and unbraked is 700 kg, with an 80 kg nose weight limit. Payload sits between 440 kg and 550 kg depending on equipment. The N-tuned multi-link rear and adaptive dampers give a firm but controlled ride suited to spirited road use rather than heavy loads.
The cabin has a driver-focused racing-inspired layout with high-backed N sport seats that provide strong lateral support plus power lumbar adjustment and extendable cushions. Seats come in cloth or a suede-leather mix with blue contrast stitching and N logos. Dual-zone climate control is fitted, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Some hard plastics remain but overall materials feel solid and well assembled for daily use.
