2011 Hyundai i30
2011 hyundai i30cw 02a
The popular Hyundai i30 gets some minor cosmetic updates in the form of black headlamp bezels, plus a dark silver finish for the mid-spec SLX's 16-inch rims. Wagon variants get silver roof rails.
Inside, Bluetooth connectivity is standard on all models and a one-touch triple turn signal is fitted to the i30 SLX and i30 SR.
A follow-home headlight function has also been added to all models.

All variants bar the i30 SR and i30cw Sportswagon undergo a $200 price rise, however dealership drive-away pricing of $19,990 has been retained for the entry-level i30 SX.
My i30cw has the black headlamp bezels and has the silver roof rails. It was built in May 2010.
It doesn't have bluetooth and one-touch triple turn signal and also lacks the follow-home headlight function.
- Can anyone explain to me what the one-touch triple turn signal is???
- Do the follow-home headlights respond to the steering position to point the headlight beam at the appropriate angle?

One touch triple turn signal gives three quick flashes then disengages.. assume for passing and cutting back in (or taking an off road)
Follow home headlights leaves the headlights on for 30 seconds after you lock the car at night so you can see to get to your house door (or wherever)
Haven't got either but believe that to be the story...
-
i didn't know that either dazz,thanks for the info. :razz:
-
I noticed that says bluetooth is standard??? Does that include Australia? I was told that was an optional upgrade? of course all their documentation relates to the MY10 not MY11..
-
My Australian delivered MY11 has:
one touch indicators (three flashes)
'follow me home' lights. When the lights are left in the on position, they stay on for 30 seconds after the car is locked and come on when the car is unlocked. (got them disabled by the dealer)
black surrounds to the headlights
in SLX trim, bronze rims

As far as I can find, there is no bluetooth.
-
thats a pitty, no bluetooth! how does bluetooth work in a car? (LOL you can tell i dont use things like that)

It does two things in my hybrid (Shut your face Snowcherry :wink:)
Once your phone is pared up with the Stereo .. you can make and receive hands free phone calls through the stereo..
and it will play all the mp3s on your mobile wirelessly... :D
-
I use it to make and receive calls through the stereo, as the playing of mp3s through the stereo on my current car is only mono :-(
I believe in the i30 the number of the caller (or name) will show up on the radio/cd player screen.. Can't say yet for certain as still waiting for car..
(http://www.eisner.id.au/images/bluetooth.jpg)
I was just wondering if I was ripped off paying $500 extra for it, other than being a little pricey.. lol
-
probably not ripped off when you DONT get a fine for being on the phone whilst driving!!!
-
OK got to the bottom of it...
There are TWO my11's, the ones talked about above are not available in Australia for dealers as yet, they are just about to come in..
That is why 'de Bounce' has an MY11 and it has the other my11 features (bronze rims, black headlight surrounds etc) but doesn't have the bluetooth integrated stereo.. Mine is also in that category, hence I paid for bluetooth to be added..
Very confusing situation from Hyundai Australia..

Have you had any probs with yours? I've taken mine back twice now only to be told there's nothing wrong, but tell that to everyone I call! I've tried 4 different phones (inc diff.brands) and all with the same result.
Apparently it's very hard to understand, alot of feedback, reverb, echo on it, but from my end the other person is clear as a bell.
I've got my 7500km service coming up, so I'll have to put my foot down this time.
-
Mine hasn't been delivered yet, my current one (in my civic) is wired in to the speakers too (called an egotalk)... It was a little cheaper as it wasn't from the dealer and works fine 95% of the time, it does have bad days sometimes, but generally good.. I heard the i30 one is generally pretty good but has more echo if you are stationary, it's better when driving, maybe it overcompensates when there is less background noise??
If I was you I would be taking it back too, and will if I have similar problems...
-
Interesting updates.
Leasing company ordered my i30 SX today. I'm really worried now as to which MY the dealer is going to give me and how long the wait will be. I really hope the MY11 does have the bluetooth as standard. I am in Australia if that helps.
-
Yeah I am Australia too, the first MY11 does not have bluetooth standard, the second does but Hyundai told me today they doubt they will be delivered until december(ish)..
It is a crappy situation for the dealers as the first MY11 is barely a few months old and then they change the specs, call it the same thing (i.e. still MY11 not even officially MY11b or something) and leave thousands of the previous MY11 for the dealers to sell, despite the newer one being announced and confusing customers.
-
So what is the difference between the two MY11's then in the SX model?
I added cruise control as an option, btw.
-
In the cw's the difference between the two MY11s isn't much, just the bluetooth I think, which is going to be standard across the entire range as it is part of the stereo..
Yeah I couldn't live without cruise control anymore ;-)
-
Reckon the bt is worth holding out for?
I think the only thing that might be worth holding out for is the steering wheel controls if they made that standard on the SX hatch.
Starting to regret not going SLX now...
-
LOL, the grass is always greener I began to think I should have saved the money and gone for the SX...
As far as i know they haven't added those controls to the SX.. the hold out thing can go forever though, if you wait till December maybe just wait until next year and even bigger changes may come along? They also said the cost of the car will go up along with the Bluetooth addition, so maybe better off without it..
-
Haha there you go then.
I think I might invest in the Parrot CX3000 and be done with it. And chuck that on the empty space on the steering wheel where the controls are meant to be.
Works out cheaper too...
-
blue tooth sounds good!
but if your like me, you cant find your phone half the time, and when you do get a call and your driving you accidently hang up hahahah
-
Thats one bluetooth advanatge I don't need to find my phone as long as it is in the car I just hit the answer button on the bluetooth controls.. :lol:
-
so long as you have "syncd" it first i guess...
-
True, but you only have to sync (pair) manually once, from then on they are associated and if BT is on in the phone it will auto-pair each time I get in the car.
-
wow... i never knew that! great bit of info that is!!!
-
Just as an aside, am I alone in thinking the light sliver roof racks on the new I30Cw's look crappy compared with the dark silver on the old ones? What were they thinking?
-
my wife's cw roof bars are black.
-
and on a white car I think the black would look the best, but on black I think the light silver may work well.. shame you can't choose.. 8)

Are they easy to whip off and spray paint? :idea:
-
im sure they are held on with screws or allen key bolts.

The MY 2011 model i30 in the UK seems to be completely different to the Australian one..
Here's the UK version:
(http://www.auto-car-shop.com/wp-content/uploads/HLIC/7cc491f6a179c320e39aecfd9dd5ed2c.jpg)
(http://www.saltmarine.com/carimages/IMG_5027.JPG)
Changes include:
Different front bumper/grille (wider and more aggressive looking), with front fog lamps now standard (previously only on the Premium model) (basically the same as the edition version)
Side-skirts as standard (again, similar to the edition)
Different rear bumper (like the edition but without the fake exhausts)
No CRDi badge on the front wings, but a CRDi badge on the tailgate instead.
Stiffer suspension
Gear change indicator (tells you when to shift up or down)
New gearstick (leather)
Not sure if this is just mine, but the gearbox is smoother in 1st, 2nd and 3rd than the old one.
Sadly we don't get Bluetooth as standard..
-
Alas there are a few things removed too (sound proofing, full size spare etc)
-
the skirts and different front look great though..
-
i'm confused on what australia gets in the new model - do they get the new front? :-[
i'm not sure i like it.
love the thought they're finally adding bluetooth. its the biggest that always bugged me about the i30. (presuming it's properly integrated into the stereo and not just an addon)
-

I see where you are coming from SC (Looks a bit like a tropical fish, "GUPPY" from some angles but looks good in some colours and looks better with a number plate on than bare...)
I don't think we get it in Australia (looking at the Aussie website and recent postings on here) Must be like the ix35 which gets a different front for th European market..
-

Whilst I like it, give most people the choice between a full size spare and blue tooth and they will choose the latter.
Not sure about the wisdom of removing sound proofing and making the cabin louder....
-

Especially when you combine it with bluetooth handsfree which gets harder to use the louder the cabin is... :eek:
-
good point about the soundproofing, i already think the car suffers from 'road noise' with the default tyres.
removal of the sound proofing would surely be horrendous :'(
and cheers Dazz. maybe we don't get this one then.
sorta curious as while i have no consideration of upgrading at this stage, i do wonder where the i30 is going
-
Yep I have 4.5 years and 113,000 before my lease is up. Time for them to lose their way, then return with a good package again.....
-

Good call! What soundproofing have they removed for 2011 spec cars? (Although I presume you will be talking about Korean builds). Just asking as my own Czech built 2011 model (in UK) is not the quietest car I have had - by far. I think that the (16") Hankook tyres are largely to blame but would welcome any pointers with soundproofing.

There are a couple of recent threads on here with discussions and photos of soundproofing efforts... :cool:
-
I am sure the tyres get quieter as they get a few thousand miles on them. When new I could really hear them, but now I don't notice hardly at all. It could be just a matter of my brain habituating to it though.
The sound proofing I was really refering to was the large pad in the top of the bonnet, but its possible that was UK only and model specific. All the recent posts of new cars I've seen on here recently are of the paintwork, not under the bonnect etc, but I think at least two people have mentioned its missing.
If I had remained annoyed by the front roadwheel noise then I would have invested in the pads you can get to glue to the reverse sides of the plastic wheel arches (these get called different things in different countries). It remains to be seen how much is transmitted by air and how much up the steering colum though. These pads along with other "custom fit" soundproofing pads are often available on ebay as kits, but cost $$$.
I did make one small mod, and I never took it back out to find if it really made any difference, but its really cheap (should be my catchphrase) and easy to do. Undeneath the steering wheel there is a BIG slot and as soon as I saw that I thought it would make the dashboard act like the resonance chamber (on a violin say) and send any noise from the firewall or inside the dash directly at the driver. I located a piece of silver pipe lagging (I guess its PU foam, a bit like depron but softer) and used it to block, and as it happens trim very neatly, this gap. It might help, it might not, but it looks neater than a hole and it only costs £1 for 2m of the stuff over here.

My 2011 i30 has the under bonnet sound proofing.
-
What trim level is it?
-
It's the Comfort.

Other than the wheel colour and headlight bezels, the other features on the "real" 2011 model are integrated BT and a smart pedal setup, where if your foot is on the brake pedal and you hit the accelerator the brake will take over, I suppose it'll stop oldies driving through shop fronts.
Also apparently there will be no dealer bonuses so rrp will be the price for a while at least...
-
the smart pedal sounds like a good idea.
-
Is that because you're getting on in years? :wink:
-
Only 52 yrs young, but getting there..
:lol:
-
:lol: :razz:

We've had that for quite a while (more than a year). Toyota probably have it too now.

....hmmm, didn't know that. This has to be tested, preferably not in front of a shop :rolleyes:
-
LOL
go on... you know you want to!
-
Easy way to check (in an auto) is over a speed hump.
Set throttle position with right foot
Brake with left foot, car should slow
Release brake, car should return to previous speed.
I was under the impression it only worked for the diesel as it had fly-by-wire!
