Product Overview

Hyundai i30 III Fastback (chassis code PD) is a compact sedan in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 2.0 liters.
The first sedan to wear the i30 badge, the i30 Fastback is essentially the same vehicle as the hatchback, though with a small trunk attached to the rear. In its class, the i30 Fastback represents one of the more reliable and better-built options.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The 2.0-litre turbo four makes plenty of power and torque, and endows a performance level that’s as great as you’d want most of the time. There will be no 247bhp entry-level version of the Fastback N (apparently less than two per cent of UK customers wanted an i30 N hatchback in non-Performance Packaged form) The upper-level 271bhp version will be priced at a fiver less than £30,000.

Pros
  • Powerful turbo four
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent handling
Cons
  • Not the best engine
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
British customers the lesser 247bhp powerplant. It can reach 62mph from a standing start in 6.1sec, matching the hatchback. Both cars share the same electronically locking front differential, adaptive dampers and electronic power steering system. But Hyundai has overhauled the settings for each one to tone things down. Softer suspension also promises to deliver a more supple ride.

Pros
  • Powerful turbocharged engine

Cons
  • Not as punchy as i30 N
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The i30 Fastback is a reworked version of the i30 hatchback. It has a slightly lower chassis and slightly stiffer suspension than the hatch. The 1.4-litre petrol unit is a pleasantly refined cruiser with 179lb ft of torque. It’s not enough to turn the natural i30 into a truly dynamic sports coupé.

Pros
  • Well-built, well-warrantied cabin
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Slightly stiffer suspension
