Discovering the Hyundai i30

The Hyundai i30 is a type of car known as a "compact car." This means it's not too big and not too small. Compact cars are great for driving in cities and for families. They are often good on fuel and easy to park. The i30 quickly became a favorite for many drivers around the world.

What Kind of Car is the i30?

The Hyundai i30 is a "small family car." It is designed to be comfortable and useful for everyday trips. These cars are often called "hatchbacks" because they have a back door that swings up. This door, or "hatch," opens to a storage area that connects to the passenger space. This makes it easy to load things like groceries or sports gear.

Different Shapes and Sizes

The Hyundai i30 comes in a few different styles. The most common is the five-door hatchback. This version has four doors for passengers and one large back door. There is also a "Tourer" or "Estate" version. This car is longer at the back, giving it more space for luggage. It's like a station wagon. For a while, there was even a three-door hatchback. This one had only two doors for passengers and the back hatch.

More recently, Hyundai also made a "Fastback" version of the i30. This car has a sleeker, more sloped roofline at the back. It looks a bit sportier than the regular hatchback.

It also stands for the Nürburgring, a famous race track in Germany. The i30 N is a high-performance car. It is built for speed and fun driving.
