Has this been posted yet? Looks like we will be seeing a refreshed i30 this year! Nothing major by the looks of it, but i wonder what that new grill will look like. Will also be interesting to see what changes, if any, they do to the interior.

Hopefully they spend some time improving the economy of the diesel.Is that even possible? :mrgreen:
Post by: beerman on July 08, 2014, 01:19:07
Well lets hope the new model is not like the one in the picture and has to be towed everywhere :rofl:
But imagine the economy figures...... 0/100k :goodjob:

VW golf hatch 4.5l/100 (extra) 5.8/100 (urban)
VW Golf Wagon 4.7/100 (extra) 7.1/100 (urban)
I30 Hatch 4.5/100 (extra) 7.5/100 (urban).
I30 Wagon 4.6/100 (extra) 7.9/100 (urban)
Using that as a benchmark, I would say they have some work to do on the urban figures, especially in the hatch....After all this is a wish list (and once the sheet metal is done and dusted the next official upgrade seems to be cheap new front and back on the car, a few new trinkets inside and a play with the engine/transmission for what used to be more power, which has now become more economy).
Post by: rustynutz on July 08, 2014, 03:59:30
The i30 Hatch in manual form has figures of 3.7 for "extra", 5.9 for "urban" and 4.5 "combined"
Comparing the auto i30 with the DSG equipped Golf is probably more a comparison of transmission efficiency than of the engine... :undecided:
Post by: PhireSideZA on July 08, 2014, 07:55:46
Are those figures for the auto, beerman? :undecided:Also, what capacity TDI are those figures from the Golf for?

I wonder if the engine options will change; maybe a petrol turbo???

At first glance, no more changes than new grille. The 3-door model has had those different fog / DRL lights from the start.That is the 2014 European model from what I can tell, no changes in the front end/ grill at all, there are pictures in the gallery of 2014 edition 3drs and it's the same.

It would be interesting to compare to the Golf Diesel in real world driving. I'd suggest there wouldn't be much between them, especially the manuals.
Post by: cruiserfied on October 22, 2014, 00:17:32
Be interesting to see what, if any, changes will be made to the diesel drivetrain.The 1.7CRDi would be a nice upgrade.

I would love to have the new i30 Tourer/CW with the 1,7 CRDi 100kW / 325 Nm
Hyundai need a i30 like that as most other brands have a C segment car with similar specs...

Here in SA we get 500ppm diesel, which wreaks havoc with turbocharger systems and injectors - and thus steers people well away from diesel vehicles. This might also explain why Hyundai only saw fit to import the 1.4 CRDI in the i20 and no other models :(

Apparently really great, while they are working. But long term, not convinced they are that reliable.Theres less to go wrong than in a standard auto. The whole gearbox section is standard manual transmission. The only "special" parts are the clutch and selector, and its a fairly simple design.

So far i've not seen nor heard any concerns with the Velosters, so good so far. I much prefer a third pedal though.

As a part of my new car scope, I briefly looked at the Territory diesel.....reading the Ford Forums Territory diesel forum quickly cured me of any desire. At least 5 auto replaced under warranty at very low km's plus a 'service program' to change a part due to gear box noise (unrelated to the auto explosion). Not what you want in a car with a 3year/100,000 warranty. That's before you look at the expensive rear bushes that need to be replaced regularly...

If it happens shouldn't effect resale values as small wagons are are fairly scarce on the 2nd hand market and quite versatile (as you and I know) :victory:

If true, it could actually improve our resale values. I've been fortunate, in that the last few cars I've had have all had good resale values.
These days, though, relying on resale values is not a good strategy. Cars just get cheaper and cheaper.

Yes, unfortunately the market is really opening up in Australia. A lot of new cars including plug in hybrids and other models never before imported. A real buyers market (not good for selling used cars) :Pout:
The i30 Diesel and CW/ Tourer seem to both hold their value well but you don't get much as a trade and I am over trying to sell fairly late model cars privately. I consider myself a good salesman, but people in Tassie are very gun shy of buying a car worth more than say 5K from a private seller. Rightly or wrongly they feel safer paying several thousand more for the same car from a Dealer.. :confused:

We've got a few different year and model ranges at work and the older accents had the boring across the boot / trunk sort of lights and the FD's had the nicer styling with the lights up in the air.
I was down in the basement and saw the new accent parked next to the new i30 and its like they had swapped the badges the accent now has the cool lights while the i30 has the boring ones.
Granted the i30 is still the better of the two to drive but its lost its sparkle
Post by: Wingerdave on February 19, 2015, 10:20:43
The rear end of the new i30 is breathtakingly beautiful. I was behind an "old" i30 this morning and it just looked bland, uninspired and boring.
The "new" i30 GDI with the led lights (like mine) just pops, so much beter looking than anything VW, Ford, Renault or Opel have to offer in this segment. :happydance:
