150 kW 1.6L turbo petrol engine.

Exclusive to the SR range, the 150kW Gamma 1.6 Turbo-GDi engine delivers sharp throttle response, impressive low-end torque, as well as surprising fuel economy.
The i30 SR range offers 25% more power and 31% more torque compared to the standard 2.0 GDi engine.
The i30 also comes in 120 kW 2.0L petrol engine and 100 kW 1.6L turbo diesel engine.

Available on SR and SR Premium variants.

120 kW 2.0L petrol engine.

Using direct injection technology, this engine offers excellent everyday drivability thanks to improved power and torque outputs over the outgoing model.
The i30 also comes in 150 kW 1.6L turbo engine and 100 kW 1.6L turbo diesel engine.

120 kW 2.0L petrol engine available on Go, Active, Elite and Premium variants.

100 kW 1.6L turbo diesel engine.

Eor the customer that demands the best fuel efficiency, the 100kW 1.6L engine is available on Active, Elite, and Premium variants, and uses common rail direct injection and a variable geometry turbocharger to deliver impressive fuel consumption (manual: 4.5 L/100km / DCT: 4.7 L/100km).
The chassis improvements in terms of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in the all-new i30 ensure that diesel powertrain noise is kept to a minimum; resulting in a vehicle that is surprisingly quiet and refined.
The i30 also comes in 150 kW 1.6L turbo engine and 120 kW 2.0L petrol engine.

Available on Go, Active, Elite and Premium variants.

7 Speed Dual Clutch Tranmissions

Available with the 1.6L diesel and 1.6L turbo engines, the 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) combines the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic transmission.
Thanks to re-calibrated transmission logic, the new DCT is now even more responsive under spirited driving (particularly when down-shifting), yet still offers the smooth-shifting characteristics that are desired for everyday commuting.

Australian Localisation Programme

Drive Mode

Available on all automatic and DCT variants, the Drive Mode Select function allows drivers to choose between Normal, Eco, and Sport modes.
The ‘Normal’ mode offers a driving experience optimised for a typical driver, whilst ‘Eco’ mode maximises fuel economy. F‘Sport’ mode offers increased steering weighting and engine response. Coupled with delayed up-shifting, this mode maximises the dynamic driving feel of the vehicle.

Paddle Shifters

The SR range’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) variants offer steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
This delivers a more sporty driving experience by allowing drivers to change gears via the DCT’s sequential manual mode, whilst keeping their hands on the steering wheel.

Available on SR and SR Premium variants.

Safety first, and always.

With 7 airbags and 5-star ANCAP rating, the i30 has been fitted with some of the most advanced safety features, and the 53% ultra-high tensile steel chassis makes it the strongest i30 ever.

Safety features.

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) helps warn surrounding traffic when emergency braking on the i30 is detected.
The system flashes the rear brake lights whilst braking, and automatically activates the hazard lights once the vehicle has stopped.
This feature is available on all variants

Rear View Camera & Park Assist System

The rear view camera not only provides the driver with a clear view of the area directly behind the vehicle, but also offers dynamic parking guidelines which swivel as the driver turns the steering wheel position.
The rear view camera available on all variants.
In addition, SR Premium & Premium variants also feature a 4-sensor front park assist system for added convenience.

4-sensor rear park assist system available on Active, Elite, Premium, SR and SR Premium variants.

7 Airbags and intelligent chassis design.

The new i30 features a comprehensive suite of airbags, including dual front airbags (driver & passenger airbags), front side (thorax) airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, as well as a driver’s knee airbag.
Plus, thanks to the increased* application of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and structural adhesives, the i30 achieves improved* crashworthiness through better* chassis rigidity.
Furthermore, the i30 features one-piece side panels, integrating the A and B pillars as well as the side sill. The use of hot-stamped 150kgf/mm2 AHSS in this panel helps maximise body rigidity for greater protection against small overlap front impacts, as well as side or rear impacts.
*Compared to previous i30 model.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) works in conjunction with Forward Collision Warning (FSW) system to automatically apply the vehicle’s brakes in the case of a potential collision (where no driver intervention is detected after a FCW system warning).

AEB is active above speeds of approximately 10km/h, and will attempt to bring the vehicle to a complete stop (speeds of 64 km/h pedestrians/ 80 km/h vehicles). Between speeds of 80 – 180 km/h, when activated, AEB will slow down the vehicle in order to reduce the severity of the collision.

Available on Elite, Premium, SR (DCT only) and SR Premium variants. Optional on Go and Active variants (Auto & DCT transmissions only) at an additional cost.
Safety features are not a substitute for attentive driving.

Driver Attention Alert (DAA)

At speeds of 64km/h or above, Driver Attention Alert (DAA) uses the windshield mounted camera to continually monitor the vehicle’s position within the lane, whilst also tracking steering inputs, brake pedal inputs, as well as time since last break. Should the system detect careless driving (such as sudden steering/braking inputs and/or inability to keep within lane), the ‘Attention Level’ display on the cluster will continually decrease. Should the level decrease to a certain threshold, the DAA system will recommend that the driver take a break.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)

At speeds of 30 km/h or above, Blind Spot Detection (BSD) uses radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles next to and diagonally behind the i30.

If a vehicle is present in the i30’s blind spot, BSD displays a visual alert in the exterior mirrors. If the driver proceeds to activate the corresponding indicator lights, a flashing visual warning is provided and an audible alert is sounded.

Lane Change Assist (LCA)

Lane Change Assist (LCA) scans for vehicles approaching rapidly from the rear, and uses the same Blind Spot Detection (BSD) warning measures to alert the driver of vehicles which may be entering the i30’s blind spot at a higher rate of speed.

Available on Elite, Premium, SR (DCT only) and SR Premium variants.
Safety features are not a substitute for attentive driving.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) consists of three modes – Lane Departure Warning (LDW) mode, Standard LKAS mode, and Active LKAS mode. Standard LKAS mode provides steering intervention as the vehicle is about to leave the lane, whilst Active LKAS mode provides earlier steering intervention in order to assist the vehicle in staying in the centre of the lane.

When the vehicle stray from the intended lane without indicators being activated, an audible and visual warning will be sounded.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

Using the Blind Spot Detection system’s radar sensors, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors for traffic approaching on either side of the i30 when reversing out of an angle parking space.
Should RCTA detect a vehicle approaching, an audible warning will sound, with a visual warning displayed on the Supervision cluster.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go.

Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go utilises the front radar sensor to detect the speed and distance of vehicles ahead of the i30.
It then automatically maintains a safe distance to the vehicle ahead, up to a pre-set speed by the driver (between 30km/h – 180km/h).
The Stop & Go function works in stop/start traffic, bringing the vehicle to a stop when appropriate, and automatically accelerate back up the original set speed.
