Hyundai i30 - Generation 1 (2008-2013)

HYUNDAI i30 (2008-2013)

Launched together with the i10 and Genesis, the i30 represents a new direction for Hyundai (this is developed with Europe in mind) with a stylish design and feature loaded car that suffers an expensive price tag. No thanks to low sales caused by the "by order basis" status it was dropped and reintroduced before putting to rest.
