Hyundai, the South Korean automaker has officially revealed the new Hyundai i30 Fastback, which is set to go on sale in the International markets in early 2018. If media reports are to be believed, the Korean giant could also launch this fastback model in the Indian market. However, Hyundai hasn’t revealed anything on the same. It was speculated that Hyundai could launch the i30 premium hatchback in India; that never happened. In fact, the company had showcased the previous gen model at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo.
Globally, Hyundai i30 Fastback is the third model in the i30 range, first two being the i30 hatchback and the performance oriented i30 N. Design inspiration for the car comes from Hyundai’s Fluidic Design philosophy 2.0. It features the family look, equipped with signature cascading grille, LED daytime running lamps and headlights with tinted housings. The Fastback stands out from the regular model, featuring a sharper five-door coupe body.
The i30 Fastback is equipped with two turbocharged petrol engines – a 138bhp, 1.4-litre T-GDI and 118bhp, 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo. A six-speed manual gearbox comes as standard, while a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox is offered with 1.4L engine only. The oil burner will be a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbo unit that offers two states of tunes – 109bhp and 128bhp. Also See – Upcoming Hyundai Cars In India
