Hyundai I30 SR Reviews, Specs & News

FROM

$7,920

The 2014 - 2018 Hyundai I30 SR is currently priced from $7,920.

Our most recent review of the 2018 Hyundai I30 SR resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: Great to look at, better to drive, and with more technology than JB HiFi, the i30 SR impresses in plenty of ways. A true performance version this ain't, but it does paint the rosiest of pictures for the incoming 130 N.

This is what Andrew Chesterton liked most about this particular version of the Hyundai I30 SR: Shiny new suit looks good, Plenty of technology, Much sharper dynamics.
