I've read that the lower trim levels won't have the screen at all, very curious as to how the dashboard layout will be then
Some really good information from the slides. It appears that most models will get a full range of active safety features and that this will make Hyundai a leader in the budget car segment in terms of safety features. Not many cars which would have active cruise control in most of the range at this price segment. Not to mention the other features such as blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert. It looks like the autonomous emergency braking works at both high and low speed and has pedestrian detection.One disappointing feature seems to be that the new turbo engine still doesn't appear as efficient as some other manufacturers such as Volkswagen.
By efficient I mean output in terms of fuel economy. Golf GTI has combined fuel economy of 6.2 manual and 6.6 DSG. From the slides it seemed like Hyundai's turbo engine would be around 7.7L/100km.
I've earlier commented on the placement of the screen. I don't like the look of it, but when seated in the car it's placed perfect for view and use.I've read that the lower trim levels won't have the screen at all, very curious as to how the dashboard layout will be thenI remember being skeptical when Hy contacted the forum, that it would only be a PR stunt. Happy to be proven wrong and to Hyundai Australia for involving the end users.
Thanks for the news. Looks like a good time was had. I'm afraid the pictures of the car I have seen have left me uninspired, I am hoping it has more appeal in real life.
Has Crdi become 1.6D?Still can't see why they don't use the 1.7 in the i40.... What a rocket that would be
Looks like a nice event and glad you enjoyed it Noticed the slide comparing GD vs PD - luggage 378 to 395 litres. Is this at the expense of the spare wheel, I wonder? In the UK the S (base spec) has a tyre repair kit as standard, in lieu of a spare wheel.
The entry level price will surprise some (maybe many).ACTIVE ELITE PREMIUM SR SR PREMIUM
Will the new i30 have wireless CarPlay

Now for the question that all motoring journalists will ask......Does it have rear air vents?????
What completly useless thing will they pick on now.....They obviously don't have kids, the i40 has air vents in the rear, and all the little buggers do is play with them.....Can't reach them with your hands? thats what feet are for

Well "outlets". They were under the front seats and directed cool air into the rear footwells. Controlled from the dash IIRC. Nothing for the kids to reach.
Well I'll be blowed! I never knew the FD has rear vents!
