Expert Rating

CarsGuide has published 51 expert reviews of the Hyundai I30. It has an average rating of 7.8 out of 10. Read all the reviews here.

The Hyundai I30 is available from $24,000 to $54,000 for the 2024 range of models in Hatchback and Sedan body types.

The car that transformed Hyundai into one of Australia's top-selling manufacturers when it first launched in 2007, the perennially keenly priced and well-equipped i30 has flirted several times with the mantle of the country's most popular vehicle. The first two generations boasted sharp European styling, a quality-feel interior and a choice of petrol or diesel engines, and the i30 is equally at home on a private buyer's driveway as it is on a company fleet.

Priced range from $24,000 for the and $54,000 for the top-spec N Premium With Sunroof, the hatch only (the sedan version is called the Elantra) i30 has its ride and suspension is tuned locally to better suit Australian road conditions, and offers varying levels of performance depending on your budget.

This vehicle is also known as Hyundai Elantra GT.

Hyundai I30 FAQs

Engine noise in my 2013 Hyundai i30

Failures of these engines is a known thing with this generation of Hyundais (and Kias that used the same engine). Hyundai is well aware of the problem, so the first thing to do is contact Hyundai’s customer service division.


You may find that an independent inspection of the engine is a good idea, to determine whether the failure was caused by the known fault or by something more random. In our experience, Hyundai has been very diligent at sorting out such issues.


If you want to take it even further, a class action against Hyundai and Kia on this basis was launched earlier this month.

My 2009 Hyundai i30 is having trouble starting

A car that is difficult to start could be suffering from, literally, hundreds of different problems. You need to have the car electronically scanned to see if the on-board computer has logged any faults of glitches in the fuel or ignition system. That's the best way forward or you could find yourself replacing perfectly good components without any change in the car's behaviour.


And don't rule out basic stuff like a battery that seems fine but is struggling to turn the engine over as well as supply enough power for the ignition to work properly. Modern cars with electronically controlled major functions really don't like a battery that is slack and cold weather will often show that problem up.


Also, when you say you've checked the fuel filter, what do you mean? Did you replace it or simply do a visual inspection. You can't really tell by looking at a filter how gunked up it is inside, so while it all looks okay, it could still be a contributing factor in your starting problems. An accurate diagnosis will also be easier if the mechanic has more information to work with. So start taking notice of exactly what is happening. For instance, is the car more difficult to start hot or cold? Does leaving it overnight make a difference to trying to start it for the second time that day? Does the ambient temperature have an effect on starting difficulty? Are there any specific noises the engine makes when it becomes recalcitrant? Keep a diary of this stuff... it might save you money.

Is my 2018 Hyundai i30 a suitable handy man car?

The i30 should be fine for this sort of towing. You won't be placing too much stress on the car's mechanicals, and Hyundai rates the i30 to tow up to 1300kg. But there's a catch.


And that is that you're more likely to be limited by the trailer rather than the car itself. That's because that 1300kg limit is on the proviso that the trailer is fitted with its own brakes. Without a braked trailer, Hyundai reduces the towing limit to 600kg. The average box trailer doesn't have brakes, so that lower figure is most likely going to be your limit. Admittedly, that is still probably more than enough for what you have in mind.
