Hyundai introduced a second refresh for its compact-segment contender, the i30, a car that was available in three shapes: hatchback, fastback, and the most spacious of them all, the i30 Estate.

The compact segment vehicles were built in all shapes, including the station-wagon. Hyundai i30 Wagon came late to the party, but it didn't come unprepared.

In September 2018, Hyundai i30 hatchback received a sibling with a bigger trunk the i30 CW. The station wagon vehicle returned with a remodeled shape, wearing just some part of its brother's bodywork panels. From the front bumper to the B-pillar is the same car, but the design has been changed after that.

The Hyundai i30 Tourer was built on the i30 platform and it was launched at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show for the European market. It also adopted the “cascading grille” design.

Hyundai introduced the second generation of the i30 compact hatchback in 2011, and, in the following year, it unveiled the station-wagon version.

While the world economic crisis hit hard the automotive industry, Hyundai made a bold move and offered the i30 in a station wagon shape, stealing its competitors' customers.

After a successful start in 2016, the compact hatchback from Hyundai, the i30, has received a facelift in February 2020 with a new design, signed by Peter Schreyer.

Needless to say, Hyundai’s been offering pretty good options for the past few years, keeping the prices low. The i30 was no exception, it was a budget car with a well-balanced package included.

Hyundai chose the 2016 Paris Motor Show to unveil the third generation of its compact-sized contender, the i30, after only five years on the market for its predecessor.

The first generation of the i30 came at the right time and the right moment. It was one of the best compact-segment vehicles introduced in 2007.
