After a successful start in 2016, the compact hatchback from Hyundai, the i30, has received a facelift for the 2020 model-year with a new design, signed by Peter Schreyer.
The former designer from Audi-Volkswagen, Peter Schreyer, was in charge of the whole Kia-Hyundai range after it arrived in the Korean group in 2006. His ideas completely changed the way these two brands look and, as a consequence, the sales rocketed. And he tried its hand, again, with the facelift for the i30.

On the front of the 2020 i30 fastback, there was a new bumper with a more aggressive design. A larger grille with a new design for the mesh was introduced. A new pair of headlights with built-in daytime LED running lights. Apart from the N-Line that featured black mesh on the front, the rest featured classic, chromed elements. In the back, the new taillights received new. V-shaped LED graphics to match the front daytime running lights.

Inside, the 2020 i30 fastback received an improved infotainment system with a 10.25” screen, a carry-over from the Kona and Ioniq. For the instrument cluster, a 7” TFT display replaced the analog dials. It offered Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

While the aesthetic was little changed, the engine compartment received new units. The 2020 model received a new mil-hybrid version. For the transmission, Hyundai offered a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch system.

The i30 range was further enlarged in 2017 when Hyundai unveiled the i30 Fastback model joining the standard hatchback and wagon versions.
As its name suggests, the new variant completes the range as a coupe-like sedan while still offering a large hatch at the back for good trunk access. By offering the latest active safety features, the Hyundai i30 Fastback democratises technology as the other members of the i30 range. With Autonomous Emergency Braking, Driver Attention Alert, High Beam Assist and Lane Keeping Assist System always on board, the i30 offers best-in-class standard active safety.
