2018 Hyundai i30 Fastback unveiled
A five-door coupé might be an unexpected addition to Hyundai's i30 range, but that's exactly what the new Fastback is.
As well as a sleeker profile, distinguishing styling elements include LED headlights, a shallower grille, widened wheel arches and a prominent rear spoiler. Compared to the recently-launched i30 hatchback, the Fastback version is 30 mm (1.2”) lower and 115 mm (4.5”) longer.
To complement the sportier looks, the suspension is 15% stiffer (although Hyundai says that ride quality hasn't suffered too much).
The initial engine line-up comprises 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS) 1.0 litre, three-cylinder and 138 bhp (103 kW / 140 PS) 1.4 litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol units. Both come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission can be specified instead for the larger displacement motor.
Alternatively, a turbocharged 1.6 litre four-cylinder diesel-burner is due to arrive at a later date. Customers will have a choice of either 108 bhp (80 kW / 110 PS) or 134 bhp (100 kW / 136 PS) outputs, which can be combined with the aforementioned manual or dual-clutch transmissions.
There are plenty of driver aids on the available equipment list. Among them are Advanced Smart Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist System, Rear-Cross Traffic Alert and Driver Attention Alert.
Hyundai is planning to begin i30 Fastback sales across Europe at the start of 2018. Prices have yet to be confirmed.
