Hyundai Motor UK has officially announced the pricing and specification of the i30 Fastback, which will go on sale in the UK on the 18th January.
The i30 Fastback is the final addition to the i30 range, with the new body type reflecting Hyundai’s design language but with a distinct character set apart from the rest of the range. The i30 Fastback has a roofline that is lowered by 30 millimetres compared with the i30 Hatchback, enhancing the car’s wide stance, improving aerodynamics and creating a distinctive silhouette, which is complemented with two new alloy wheel designs. The roofline tapers towards the rear, where it meets with an integrated rear spoiler and continues to the rear lights.
At the front, the height of the i30 family’s signature Cascading Grille has been reduced for i30 Fastback to give a wider stance, a more clearly defined look and to emphasise the bonnet. A lower horizontal air intake below the grille and an angled lower front spoiler gives the i30 Fastback a distinctive front. Redesigned LED daytime running lights mounted in the new front bumper and headlamps with a dark surround round off the i30 Fastback’s visual differences over the i30 Hatchback and Tourer.
The i30 Fastback is available in three trim levels: SE Nav, Premium and Premium SE, with specifications mirroring the i30 Hatchback and Tourer models. The 1.0 T-GDi and 1.4 T-GDi petrol engines are also carried across from the i30 Hatchback and Tourer, with i30 Fastback introducing the 1.0 T-GDi to the Premium and Premium SE trim levels for the first time.
