Looking pretty sweet, though I don't think it will make it into the i30. They've also added a particulate filter to this one (unlike the i30) and it gets such high performance even with this penalty. On paper it's specs beat my Mazda's hands down (105kw/360Nm vs 135kW/392Nm) and I'll certainly be looking in this direction once my lease is up in a few years, providing they have something better to put it in than a Sonata or Tucson...
Glad that there are some vehicle manufacturers that are finally realising the potential of the diesel engine.
