2017 Hyundai i30 Hatchback SR PD MY18

This 2017 Hyundai i30 SR is a well-equipped five-door hatchback with the practical dimensions and everyday usability that have made the i30 a familiar choice on Australian roads. Finished in blue and showing 171,474 kilometres, it combines a compact footprint with a useful cabin, a split-fold rear seat and a specification designed to make regular driving more comfortable and convenient.

The SR grade gives this i30 a sportier presentation while retaining the model’s practical hatchback layout. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels add visual distinction, while the rear roof spoiler and chrome exterior details contribute to its more purposeful appearance. The five-door body makes access straightforward for passengers and provides a flexible load area for shopping, luggage or daily equipment.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch sports automatic transmission. Paddle shifters and selectable driving modes allow the driver to tailor the way the car responds, while cruise control with distance control can reduce the effort involved in longer trips. The automatic transmission also suits stop-start urban driving, where smooth operation and easy manoeuvrability are especially useful.

Inside, the cabin features leather-look seating and a leather-look steering wheel, with a height-adjustable driver’s seat helping to establish a comfortable driving position. Dual-zone climate control, pollen filtration and an electric power steering system support day-to-day comfort. The five-seat layout gives the i30 versatility for passengers, and the second row folds in sections when extra carrying space is needed.

Technology is a strong part of the vehicle’s appeal. The colour multifunction display incorporates satellite navigation, while Bluetooth, digital radio, USB connectivity and smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide several ways to access music, calls and navigation content. A wireless charging function is also listed for compatible devices. Keyless entry and push-button starting add convenience, particularly when the vehicle is used frequently.

The equipment list includes a sunroof, reverse camera, rear parking sensors and graphical parking assistance, helping improve visibility and confidence when positioning the hatchback. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, forward collision warning, forward low-speed collision mitigation, pedestrian avoidance with braking, lane departure warning and active lane-keeping assistance are also specified. These systems supplement, rather than replace, attentive driving, but they provide useful support in busy traffic and during reversing manoeuvres.

Safety equipment includes front, side and head-protecting airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, traction control and hill-hold assistance. Automatic headlights, LED daytime running lamps, tyre-pressure monitoring and an alarm add further practical features.

The vehicle is described as a one-owner example with excellent service history, two keys, a mechanical inspection and a roadworthy certificate provided. Its combination of a usable hatchback body, turbocharged petrol engine, dual-clutch automatic transmission, sunroof and broad driver-assistance specification gives it a well-rounded profile for general road use.
