In its first year of sales, the Hyundai i30 hatch has become a multi-award winning car.  But Hyundai is not waiting for its rivals to catch up, announcing several 2009 specification enhancements to ensure i30 maintains its leadership within the small car category.    

With immediate effect, all 2009 i30 hatch models will be fitted with ESP Stability Control incorporating Traction Control System as standard.  The initiative follows Hyundai’s announcement earlier this year that i30 had attained a 5 star result in the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) - a first for the brand.  The i30 SR, and SLX models, together with SX models fitted with side and curtain airbags (part of Hyundai's Protectz Pack option) are rated 5 stars ANCAP.

Simultaneously, modifications to i30’s 2.0 petrol engine ensure it now meets the stringent Euro IV emission standards. Substantially reduced levels of hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide within the exhaust gas mean this version now achieves a 4.5 star Green Vehicle Guide rating out of a maximum five stars.

“The i30 has been a class-leading small hatch since its introduction late last year, winning Carsguide's Car of the Year 2007 and Green Car of the Year 2007, and most recently Ecocar's Best Small Car 2008”, said Kevin McCann, Hyundai’s Director of Sales and Marketing.  “The 2009 models now going on sale extend i30’s class leadership – ensuring even greater levels of safety and environmental friendliness”.
