Hyundai has unveiled its 2024 i30 Sedan in Australia, introducing a new Hybrid powertrain alongside updated features and a revised design. This launch positions the i30 Sedan as a direct competitor to the Corolla sedan/hatch.
The 2024 i30 Sedan debuts a Hybrid powertrain, a first for this model in Australia. The Hybrid configuration, available from the entry model, combines a 1.6 GDi engine, a 6-speed DCT, and a 32kW electric motor, powered by a 1.32kWh battery. This system is reported to deliver 2.8L/100km in the ADR urban cycle, and 3.9L/100km in the combined ADR cycle.
