:link: 2015 Hyundai i30 Active Dual Clutch Transmission (Rel. Dec. 2014) - carsales.com.au (http://www.carsales.com.au/bnc/details/Hyundai-i30-2015/SHRM-AD-413219/?Cr=2) :happydance:

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.

But only 280Nm with the manual.... :(

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 :disapp:

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.. :question:
-
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.

What's a CD?
Rest of your comments are valid....

What's a CD?
You know those small chrome disc's we used to stick in the music player ( I mainly use them to throw at people nowadays :D )...they came out after those cassette thingies with the plastic ribbon :snigger:

Aren't they those things you can stick to the bedroom ceiling? Spice things up a bit :victory:

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?

:cool!: :Agoodpost: Looks nice! Interesting CW > Tourer > now Wagon?

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 :P
-
Kristy at the local Hyundai says she has sold one which arrives next week (for me to look at) :goodjob:
-
No Petrol Turbo for us either.. :Pout:
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.

ActiveX diesel auto incl leather looks nice.

Pity the 2K price drop would probably come off your trade too! :phone1:
-
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.

-
No more 3 door either, but apparently we are going to get an updated Tourer later in the year.
-
I don't think the 3 door was a big seller so probably no great loss...

It would have been a huge seller with a turbo version.
-
Possibly so but Aussies really don't seem to be a big lover of 3 door hatches... :undecided:
-
Not true, Mitsubishi - Mazda - Suzuki - Holden - Ford - Alfa Romeo - Fiat - Mercedes's - BMW all sell very well here with their 2/3dr vehicles here, the only thing that held back the Hyundai i30 version was it was under powered for it's size ( something I'll fix when out of warranty :D )

Wonder if Microsoft will have a go about the ActiveX naming :sweating:

:Jaw: 8.8L/100Km........ I was getting beter (mileage 7.5 - 8.0) in my 9-year old Dodge Caliber, also 1.8 and 120Kg heavier. Unless the "prevailing speed limits" are 150+ kph or under 30 kph then that is terrible.

Nice little review thanks Beerman.. What Dave said about the Economy of the petrol though.. I average just over 9 in my Calais!

Another Australian review. (I don't think it's been posted on this
forum as yet). Seems largely positive.

How many of those are top selling models? :undecided:
You only have to look around to see 3 door hatches don't sell in huge numbers...
Then there's this, I know it's a few years old but it seems to support my statement that 3 door hatches aren't hugely popular....

Oh, that's not very nice, Rusty.
Although, having not driven one before I got this, I do wonder how so many people in England get around.
It is so slow!
I thought the turbo must be asleep but apparently not.
I do like Discos though.
Especially the early 3 doors.
I can't help thinking that 4.4 P76 V8 in the engine bay would liven things up a bit. :D

I heard Discos like to fall over... :Pout:

I never said they were top selling models, I just expressed they sold well and if they didn't then none of the manufactures would sell their 2drs here and the fact that I see thousands of them on the road goes to prove that, I forgot to add the VW's and Mini's to that list also :)
A 5 year old review doesn't mean didley squat :D many brands have released 2dr hatches since that was written.

I have a 2dr sports car with a large boot/trunk. :whistler:

:lol: I love ute's :goodjob2:
We'd still be getting the 2dr i30 hatch if it weren't for our failing dollar, same reason we're not getting the 2dr i20 hatch either :disapp:

I just had a quick look and as far as I could see, neither Mitsubishi, Holden, Mazda, Toyota or Suzuki even offer a small 3 door hatch... :undecided:

Some of the models don't have a 2014 - 2015 version but did previously and there is talk of some releasing 2/3 door hatches later this year and next, I did think the Holden Spark was a 3 dr but realised it was a hidden rear door like the Veloster.
There are rumors of a new Swift 3dr but depending on our $ will be the ultimate decider if we get it, there was supposed to be a 3dr Cruze but the idea was canned because of the Astra development.
I've placed some current and very soon to be released 3 dr's below, notice Holdens new Astra due this month

None of those are likely to be big sellers and putting an SUV into the collection is drawing a big bow...lol
The fact that many of the manufacturers that once had 3 door hatches in their line up but have now dropped them would suggest to me that they weren't particularly good sellers... ;)
-
Another one....They love the 7 speed diesel......The lack of new stuff not so much. Shame I can't convince the good wife that we don't need a slightly larger car than her hatch....
But I have not know a car maker yet to throw money into both engine/transmission and new body/interior on an update car.
The 7 speed on the diesel is no doubt a small introduction to see how it goes pending further implementation in the fleet.

Not big sellers aye! must be some reason they have been consecutively sold for years now, the Astra was so popular that Holden have brought it back in under the Holden badge rather than Opel.
The SUV is still a 3dr and no bigger than the i30 except for the taller suspension, the Swift will release in 3dr again when the $ turns good as will the i20 and i30 3dr's.
If you lived in the inner city regions you would see how popular 3dr's are.
-
Your idea of what are popular obviously differ from me, Craig.... :lol:
Opel were hardly a big seller in the short time they were in Aus....in fact they sold less than 1600 units and poor sales was the reason for them pulling the pin...
How many of those were even 3 door hatches? :undecided:
