- Hyundai has announced that the new i30 will go on sale on March 1 in the UK, but I was invited to grab a sneak peak before release in sunny Spain. The Korean firm hopes to rival the ever-popular Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, sporting a brand new look and a host of new safety technology. In fact, Hyundai has 'done a Peugeot' and tricked out the new i30 in chrome - but is this enough for the i30 to lead the stacked hatchback class? Previous iterations drew criticism for a dull driving style and weak engines, so has Hyundai addressed these features? To make matters tougher, the i30 will have to convince buyers to skip the premium SUV class in favour of the smaller hatchback class. Find out if the Hyundai i30 succeeds in this 4k review.

Costs less, similar utility, handles as well and probably more reliable than a Golf. Sounds like a winner.
Realistically this competes more with the Focus, Astra, 308, Megane, Bravo, Leon, Auris, Pulsar and its sister car the Ceed. The Golf has better ride comfort, better perceived quality, a better badge and a somewhat higher price tag. In short WYPIWYG (what you pay is what you get).
So basically the Golf is trading on badge snobbery and past hype? Ok got it.
Nah, it's still a Hyundai
@@fundiver198 you pay too much for vag group cars 👎
Damn, i actually like it a lot. Both on the outside and the inside!
me too. i reckon it has a stylish exterior.
Jose Chu-Jon i wouldnt know but i would be surprised if it wasnt
yes it is the 2018 elantra GT in US.
I think it looks like Fiat Tipo than Peugeot 308. Peugeot 308, Golf or Astra anytime.
Jan Šinkovec Exactly. Saw it live parked next to a Tipo - the shape from the side is exxxactly the same...
I think this is the first Hyundai I would buy, besides the Genesis.
Flix you can't afford a Genesis.
And the meaning of that comment is? I said I "would" buy, as in "I like how it looks". Read between the lines.
You wrote a single line, Sorry.
Flix it's good. got it 2 months ago, pleasure to drive. done 5000km so far, all good, comfortable, kinda sporty.
I am a diehard German cars fan, yet the improvement rate of Hyundais is insane. I can see myself recommending this car to people.
Andrei Simionescu ds3 > A1
Andrei Simionescu I fucking hate German cars. Always find the cars overrated and unreliable, and the owners unbearably smug.
Andrei Simionescu Their cars designs are European as fuck
Well you should probably know that this car, and the i40, was designed in the same place as Opel, Rüsselsheim.
Yea German cars = Garbage
This Hyundai review seems like a Golf add.
Whats wrong with this car? Jesus people are hard pleased these days. Better looking than the VW Golf and the overrated new Astra, it drives well and the previous version scored well for reliability so this will probably do as well.
James Carroll Sorry but golf is still best car in his class. And his design is timeless. And interior quality is nuke proof.
D4VE THEFIRST Nonsense.. That's really received opinion not fact. Golfs are under equipped with an ordinary warranty.
Astra isn't overrated belive me I have one it is really good it really is better than VW Golf and Ford Focus but this Hyundai I30 is also really good a bit better than astra
This is true as the i30 gets a panoramic sunroof heated and cooled seats. The golf doesn’t even get cooled seats or this panoramic sunroof when it is bloody hot everyday here in Australia plus that sick wireless charging and as you walk up to the car it greats you with lights and unfolding mirrors. i30 is the winner here.
Can't help but notice a bit of badge snobbery and bias. This guy is out of touch with the general populous and his condescending remarks about the i30 shows that. Unless you have money to burn the i30 is a better buy then both the focus and the golf. Not so much talking about features but customer service and reliability; Volkswagen has the shittest customer service and a plethora of reliablility issues.....
No.....definitely features too. This car trounces the Golf in every way.
Agree 100%. Just bought this in the diesel premium over the Golf Highline TDI (and I had a Gold before this). It is clear this bloke is a VW fanboy.
@@adamb1629 u had a golf or gold 🤔 lol
I love the new area where you reviewed this car..
The old place which looked like a parking lot was getting quite old
Unfortunately we can't afford to fly to Marbella for every review… sorry
carwow Haha, i thought this place was somewhere near your office itself
Jagan Joseph he was driving in the left side
Mat moved to Spain?
Also look at the number plate. The "E" is short for España.
Does it come with VW golf problems, ripoff parts pricing and arrogant VW service staff too? ...No? Good, I'll take it! Honestly car reviews never seem to take into consideration the utter frustration that comes with having to take your car back to the dealer for the 3rd or 4th time get something fixed that should have never gone wrong in the first place. It makes any nice new car feel like a POS.
Driver6M i couldnt agree more with you! vw and audi are a pile of shit! i previously owned both and never again! i now have a 4 year old peugeot which has never gave me an issue. the 3008 looks like my next car
my dad bought 2010 VW Golf GTI brand new, he loves the car, but he was treated like absolute shit right from the actual sales staff. They were really arrogant, and he paid a premium for the extras such as the navi system and sunroof. He was told it came with bluetooth but found out later it didn't, and they wouldn't do anything about it, so he wrote a letter of complaint to head office. He got no response. He has always had his car serviced at VW, spent a fortune with issues he had, and regardless of the bill, they always treated him like shit by speaking down to him and just having general attitude problems. He now takes it to a private certified VW mechanic who not only treats him like a customer, but charges far less than VW.
In 2013, I bought an i30, and I have to say that I have loved their service. Services are cheap, they listen to everything I had to say and just plain pleasant. I was able to book and get a car for the day, just no dramas whatsoever. Car has been perfectly reliable, not the most fuel efficient, but good, and it is comfortable to be in on long distance drives as well as the short trips. My battery died on my key, replacement was $15. Like I said, no dramas!
At least unlike with the Golf, the i30 won't break down after a few years
It's amazing how far Hyundai has come... At my second job, where my job is literally to drive cars about, ranging from old clunkers to DB10 Astons... I got the chance to drive quite a few Hyundais and I liked most of them. They are comfortable, they drive well, a bit down on power... but whatever. And the DCT gearbox is brilliant. Shifts quickly at the right points and has manual mode so you can fool around. I also like the amount of tech you get for your money. Lane assist, blindspot monitor, reversing camera, digital radio and tons of other goodies. Also the interior is a nice place to be. It doesn't remind you that you are driving a cheaper car constantly like the interior in the Fiat Tipo does for example.
5 inches is too small for Matt.
People are dumb, a Golf is literally THE most obvious boring choice out there, sure it might have soft touch plastics, but like the i30, it won't have them everywhere.
Also you'd probably only get a poverty spec model for the same price as any of it's rivals, but people will fall for it because of simple badge snobbery & residiual values.
People also have very short term memory problems regarding the dieselgate scandal, that alone would keep me out of a VAG product.
Zerofightervi 100% agree.!!! Badge snobbery in England is almost laughable, theres that much of it!! The Germans know they can be lazy with some cars and people will pay for it regardless.
Joshua L Thank you, I thought I was going to have to defend my stance on the beloved German manufacturers.
It's all very well journalists singing the praises of the latest ( VAG/BMW/Merc ) but they fail to give you the whole story, they are too complicated for their own good.
Styling wise I think they've hit a brick wall, I mean look at the latest 5 series BMW, it looks sooooo dull.
Zerofightervi I mean I drive a 3 series, great machine but lacks so much personality. What I've learned is that BMW's are great cars but overhyped. People look at cars with German blinkers on, failing to see plenty of decent alternatives out there. If i was to get a hatch it would have to be a Volvo V40 for me!
Joshua L You & I both, I think the V40 is a great looking underrated car, plus is got great seats.
Zerofightervi Not buying a VAG car because of dieselgate is the dumbest thing i've heard in a long time. Almost every car manufacturer provided wrong emission data for their diesel cars. Even Harley had their engines run so lean while emission tests, that they barely run. At the dealer they just get a softwareupdate that's probably called " screaming eagle of liberty ". Please read whole articles and not just headlines. All in all the media realy blew Dieselgate up and VW reputation is ruined....just because people can't read and only jump from headline to headline...shark pool jounalism.
5" is a bit on the small side
Alright Mr show off
carwow well, you said it ;)
I was hoping someone would've noticed it as well😂
Damn I didn't notice the innuendo. I bet Mat was waiting anxiously for people to notice his joke. :D
Bigger is better isn't it?
I drove this car for a week on hire. I have to say I was impressed. I drive a Golf personally but really couldn't tell the difference in terms of build quality. It was quiet and comfort was really good.
The front somehow reminds me of Inifiniti rather than Audi.
Zabawa w budowie at first sight it reminded me of a Peugeot tbh
No point in comparing style elements because all cars in a segment look alike these days.
From "that" start i was expecting a biased review, and it was.
I went to see the golf review, and the same defects were just listed and not highlithed.
I am not a fan of this car, but i didnt like this review, at all.
looks better than a Golf
better than golf
Thats one good looking car....
You might want to compare it with the rest of the segment
I guess it's the first car he has ever seen.
Check out cheaper fiat tipo if you are looking for a good looking car.
why he need to mention Volkswagen Golf in every video?
Wayne Tan
Seems he gets paid by 'VW'
Because motoring journalists in general (not just Matt) consider the Golf to be the "benchmark" for a good all-round family hatchback.
Personally, I disagree because I think the Gold/Focus/Audi A3 etc are the ones that need to justify why they cost _more_ than the i30 for the same features (and for the Focus, a smaller boot!)
I just bought this car. It's comfortable easy to drive, and fun with it's precise handling. And sharp and effective brake.
I'd get the i30 over the Golf or Focus any time! I just wish it was sold in my country.
Mat, this car needs everything except moar glossy "piano" black plastics. Especially as big as that middle grey trim.
z00h yeah, it's just a dirty finger print magnet
Reflections too, for me glossy is a no no.
Only people who dont have to clean it love piano black crap.
"Emotional process". Talk. talk. talk. So the VW Golf with black and grey interior, plus a grey exterior has personality. wow.
Hyundais are getting good fame because of reliability so that's what could balance some people towards buying it.
I cant understand why the octavia is classified as a hatch.
Because the boot door on an Octavia functions like a hatchback and opens with the window making access much easier than on a standard saloon car
GeorgeΧ. Actually it's a liftback
Boyan is correct.
My BMW 4 series is a hatchback too
fairly sure no-one in the UK knows what a liftback is (seems to be an american thing), its a hatchback because the boot opens with the window, as the hinge is above the rear window.
the Golf Breaks down... so anything other than Golf /VW /Audi is a bonus
still group vw biased....
how long is their warranty, two years?
how about in the reliability index?
you tell us about the golf and audi still you bought a type r...
and the emissions gate?
all forgotten and forgiven?
unsubscribed
I am 18. I can easily remember when Korean cars were just a joke. My god they have come a long way, in not a long period of time!
Funny how the Golf is only seen as a reference in the EU, travel around the world and it is only seen as boring European box...My money would still go on 308 or Megane
livc444111 the leon is worth a look too.
Wael Mkawer Leon is a Golf basically with the hand me down tech...
When is the nissan micra review coming?
lolololol
Sasa Travica do you even sarcasm?
LeKunibert its already out... Lol
Had to re-film it. Nissan didn't like the way he pronounced Micra.
Why do u care 😂
I feel like the editor has had a field day on colour correction putting a warm sunshine effect on this video! :)
I feel for some reason you reviewed this car alot more in-depth than others you've reviewed. I think you were trying to catch out Hyundai - bit of a badge snob maybe?
I love the filter you used on this video... The shouting green and orange makes the video attractive and urban. Such variety makes your videos more interesting but informative. Keep it uo
Just look at that colour coordination matching both the car and the natural landscape light.
I thought you were left the car wow but I'm very glad you still here mate
When he said the car's interior would suit the black glossy plastic on the central part along the front, I can't help but think that if it did look like that, he'd complain about finger prints.
Can't believe I love this Korean brand new i30 a lot. It's the only car that I wanna buy. My Volkswagen Golf mk7 seems like not as fashionable as this car lol. A lot of new features and very practical
The previous i30 was the top selling car in Australia for a few months in 2016 and rounded out the year in 3rd so I'll be interested to see how this one sells when it arrives here.
I still see people talking down on Hyundai and Kia saying they produce POS cars and all that but they've been both one of the best car manufacturers in the past 5 years, especially with Kia. I owned a KIA Forte and it was fine for the 5 years I had it for and I'd get another one. In the US I don't think we are getting this vehicle but I think it's going to be the performance N30 if I'm not mistaken.
SKEMETUBE you kept a forte for 5 years ... enough said
Clous von not that I wouldn't keep it for longer. I can barely keep a phone for a year before I want to change it.
SimpleGamer actually we are getting this car, only even better! it's the 2018 elantra GT and GT sport which FINALLY has a turbo option! so excited! yours truly, owner of a 2006 and 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT
Looks like an Infiniti from the front and a 308 from the rear. Not impressed.
True! I mean it looks good, but just like a mash up from various cars/brands without adding to much on its own!
Find me a car today that doesn't look like another frome some angle. Without it being a LaFerrari or some supercar
milosilic23 C4 Cactus
Yeah... now find a good looking one
Dan Petrea woah there, better looking than Tilda Swinton and apparently people fancy her...
I'm interested in what the new Kia Ceed will be like. But when is that coming,
won't lie ..I thought its another fiesta ( but longer)
Most people buy small hatchbacks like they buy white goods. Most people buy cars for their practicality, reliability, aesthetics and safety. Performance and fun are secondary, fun being the least important of all ... most people are not petrol heads car nuts.
Also, considering that most car manufacturers dial out the fun factor and prepare for electric self driving cars, fun cars to drive are already and will become even more niche :((((
I love the design of the new i30, especially with that color
Body work - esp front end - very nice looking, i think. Might be mistaken for the Focus, or better. BTW, Nice job, Mat & team. Like the new range of angles inside the car, including the over-the-shoulder. And the audio seems improved.
Your Polo matches the car's colour Mat !!!
and the bonnet is totally mazda 3
Why not just edit your comment? I just randomly see this and think wtf
Jamoi what?
Ottavianus Augustus Why didn't just edit your first comment to add "the front is totally Mazda" because I saw this comment first and didn't understand
Jamoi i didn't write any other comment, i was Just adding to matts dialogue. i killed many grammarnazis with this One!
Ottavianus Augustus Oh sorry I thought you was adding to another comment you wrote because you said 'and'. Sorry!
Matt needs to look up on how to pronouce "Hyundai" correctly lol
If only someone had done a video about how to pronounce car names correctly… oh
carwow hahaha, I was trying to look for that video when I wrote my comment :-D
))))
That is the correct way to pronounce "Hyundai" in the United Kingdom. It differs in other countries.
Its americans that utterly murder it. Wtf is a hundi
I love how he keeps going on about rubberised floors of pockets and storage areas... The optional extras on this car, on the base model alone outshines the mid range and upper range extras...
An altogether more viable option
I disagree with placing shiny gloss (piano) black trim. Its terrible on larger surfaces and its nice to have a few colors other than just black in the interior.
Great camera work and very nice color grading.
Thanks - that was our Jack. When he's not grading and editing and shooting he's modding his BMW E36 328.
I think the "sunshine glow" colour-grading was a bit distracting. Sorry.
why all the hate old one was good this one even better like tucson
Look at the grille of a 2015 Hyundai Genesis (introduced in late 2013) then look at the grills of MY 2014 and before Audis and then ask if Hyundai copied Audi or if Audi copied Hyundai. Audi didn't go with a hexagonal grill until the 2nd gen Q8 was introduced.
probably one of the best cars on the road, i want one
Matt is trying to ruin this new car... shame. this review is biased
Really well made, amazing filming. Well produced 👍🏻
Think it's not really fair comparing the boot space with the Skoda Octavia as the Octavia wipes the floor with every other car in the class. How does the I30 compare to other cars also mentioned in the review , golf, focus, astra and 308?
I would never get this korean thing over the GOLF
Nor would I if I could afford a Golf, but I bought a Mk 1 i30 nine years ago and it's never missed a beat, my only regret is not getting the 1.6 instead of the 1.4. I'm not a Hyundai fan boy or a badge snob.
Xero 21 The US is finally getting this car but we get a 2.0 and 1.6 turbo option with 201 hp GDI and 195 lb torque
Mate you caused me to buy previous 1,5 tones i30 by your good comments and flying colours. you picked it even best car. then i bought it 1,5 tone 2nd ww tank. 1,6 crdi engine was effortless to carry that weight. İ swore and swore every day especially on curvy roads and ramps. Hope this time your comments would be neutral, logical and fair. Lets see
I dont get all the bashing on this car. It's an economy car that is practical, looks good outside and inside. Even if you do not like the design you got to admit.. it looks of quality unlike the older korean cars. Wish this sold in my country..
Hello from Romania,your reviews are very good!It is a beautiful car but it lacks personality.I would buy a Hyundai over a Golf because of its reliability.
Will you be doing a review of the new Seat Leon FR model soon?
The i30 will do well precisely because it is a White Good! Rental car companies buy this in bulk. I've driven the earlier version of this on a roadtrip around Ireland and it was great! Good on narrow, twisty roads hauling two passengers and luggage around up and down the coastline. It's certainly not the most dynamic drive, but I felt safe, comfortable and economical to rent.
So you went to morocco and spain to review the i30 ?
In Scandinavia Hyundai offer unlimited warranty on the mileage (5 yrs). For my wife who drives 60000 miles pr year, this is its unique selling point.
On the outside, I like the sloped back and curvy lines of my last gen i30/Elantra GT more. But I prefer the upscale classy look of this new interior more.
To be fair, you could cut some felt out for a couple of dollars and upgrade any car to a Golf!
I am really looking forward to the CW-Version... I am currently driving a new Tucson but I genuinely miss my top range i30...
Holy hell I haven't watched you're videos in a while, the quality has gone way up
Actually it's the x-designer of BMW. KAI is the one that has the x-designer of Audi. This will definitely be a high seller here in the states. The market calls here for SUVs and now hatchbacks too, sedans are suffering over here
Old one was a much better looking car, this one does not look so good. As far as I see, the only positive thing is the improvement of the multimedia system. Thanks for reviewing.
Wow! Amazing design, i actually thought it was a Peugeot from the thumbnail 😅
Great review. As an IX35 owner there appears to be a big leap in quality of the cabin. Exterior styling is a bit bland (as are most small hatches) but the i30 looks classy from certain angles. Look forward to seeing the new i30 in the metal.
Why are you not moving from the camera to the car like your previous intros?
It just displayed so much excitement! Now it's like whatever..:)
that's not the review of the new Nissan micra..
Great review. Love your frank assessment of the car and presentation style.
The interior really looks like a cheaper version of the Audi A4/A5's interior
That's actually a smart car, I have an 2010 plate Hyundai i30 as family run about car, and it drives well
The newer one is impressive for the money
i timed that 0-100 in 7.4sec thats damn fast what the hell
That looks a million times better than the old car, I still don't think they'll even be a Hyundai that I'd actually want to buy ever though.
the original TT didn't have Single Frame grill. In fact, None of Audi by Peter Schreyer had Single Frame grill. Also, Hyundai Hexagonal grill Theme began in 2005, which makes it 12 years old design "tradition". Audi Single Frame is slightly older than 12 years but at that time it wasnt hexagonal, it was reversed trapez.
Peter Schreyer did an amazing job for Kia and Hyundai. Style isn't exclusive to luxury brands anymore, therefore democratizing elegance in automotive design. The rear of the Hyundai Santa Fe has uncanny resemblance to the 2003 Audi Pikes Peak, just look at the taillights.
I currently have a Golf GTI mk7 but I've been following the i30N for some time now. I can't wait to test drive it because it does look good. But the price would have to beat the likes of the Golf GTI and Audi S3 to make it worthwhile. If it costs just as much as the German rivals then you may as well get the VW or Audi because you get a much better badge for the same money.
However I doubt it will be cheap enough. I did have interest in the 308 GTi but when I learned how much it was, I knew there was no way I'd choose it over the Golf.
Thanks for not forgetting about the small amount of 4k-screen users :'-)
wow....the location, camera, editing, everything was so much better, the background score along with the new style of presentation gets a big thumbs up...keep it up people.
So what's wrong with washing machines? People need them! Getting a bit snide in your old age, Mat!!
I love the new elantra and the fact that they will have a 1.6 Turbo model in the United States I really consider buying one
I've got the sr 1.6 litre turbo it's nothing but awesome on all levels
Mat you still haven't given us the New Nissan micra 2017 review like you promised us in your last vlog?????
miz528 There may be a press embargo, so Nissan set the date when the press can realese their reviews of the Micra
It came up few days ago, that was taken down, then re uploaded, then taken down again. Then re uploaded again yesterday 2 minutes shorter than original upload!
what's with this I've seen it loads on here
IMO best value for money car - that is not boring as a golf
if the warranty and runnings costs are lower than rivals then its a worthy competitor!
good review. carwow
Review 2017 Suzuki Ignis Hatchback!
What about the new Nissan Micra though?
Bill Pairaktaridis what about it , there are a review on that on the channel
It's a joke. It was posted 3 times...
In Australia the standard i30 comes with a 2 liter engine which would blow away any hatch in the UK.
its actually pretty good looking i want one
im sure it will be the hyundai elantra gt in america
It does look like the new Fiat Tipo from certain angles! When will you drive that??
Hello Mat, Did you get a new camera man? I've noticed that the picture quality is better than your other reviews.. or is it just me?
