Title: Hints of a possible 6 speed DSG/PSG automatic for the i30 in 2011
Post by: Lorian on November 22, 2010, 21:21:56

"The Korean company has done a deal with German transmission builder LUK and the dual-clutch automatic system, now in the final stage of development, will be fitted to ix35, i45 and possibly the i30 in Korea in the course of 2011."

"While the PSG is said to be quicker than a manual or regular automatic, Hyundai’s main aim is to improve fuel economy, rather than performance."

In a separate move, Hyundai has built its own eight-speed automatic transmission, which will be fitted to its luxury Genesis and Equus models next year

But not for RHD models :-\

This would turn the auto i30 into a really great car.  I have the 4 speed auto with diesel, because of the diesel engines great torque, it can get away with a four speed box, I'm pretty sure the petrol auto would be ordinary in comparison, but to fair I havn't driven one. It seems that this would be a logical step and would start to put real pressure on some of the highly regarded europeans like the VW Golf.
