2016 Hyundai i30 Active REVIEW | Australia’s Favourite Car… Is It For You?
SALES OF THE HYUNDAI i30 HAVE EXPLODED THIS YEAR, WITH THIS SHARPLY-PRICED ENTRY MODEL ACTIVE LEADING THE CHARGE.
The small hatchback has become Australia’s favourite car for the first half of 2016.
The secret has been aggressive $19,990 driveaway pricing for the automatic version; one that normally retails at $23,290 plus on-road costs.
But that $19,990 deal has now finished; when the clock ticked past midnight on June 30, the price went up $3000. Now it’s $22,990 driveaway for the i30 Active automatic. So is it still worth a look?
Vehicle Style: Small car

Engine/trans: 107kW/175Nm 1.8-litre 4cyl petrol | six-speed automatic

OVERVIEW
The current Hyundai i30 arrived on our shores in 2012, so it’s getting on a bit now.
However, Euro-influenced styling along with a sizeable and nicely finished interior keeps it within a shot-put’s throw of the best in the class.
