hyundai i30 review 2023 Page 2

The 2023 Hyundai i30 is the small hatch that refuses to clock off: practical, well-specced, and keen to hustle when the road squiggles.

Engines span a 2.0L (120 kW/203 Nm) for commuters, a 1.6L turbo (150 kW/265 Nm) in N Line, and the raucous i30 N 2.0T (206 kW/392 Nm), with manual or auto depending on trim.

It’s roomy enough (boot around 395 L), rides comfortably in base models, and packs solid safety tech; the N Line/N variants get firmer, louder and very grin-heavy.

New pricing runs about AUD 25k–55k before on-roads, with used 2023 cars typically AUD 22k–50k depending on spec and kilometres.
