2023 hyundai i30 review Page 2

The 2023 Hyundai i30 is the sensible shoes of small cars, except they’re surprisingly comfy and look sharp at the pub.

Cabin space is decent, infotainment is straightforward, and safety kit like AEB and lane-keep means fewer “oops” moments.

The base petrol is fine for errands, the N Line’s turbo adds proper shove, and the i30 N turns school runs into track-day rehearsals.

Ride quality sits on the right side of firm, fuel use won’t terrify your wallet, and Hyundai’s long warranty sweetens the deal.

Downsides? Some trims feel a bit plasticky and the ride can get fidgety on bigger wheels, but value remains the headline act.
