2021 Hyundai i30 Active

This 2021 Hyundai i30 Active is a practical five-door hatchback with a straightforward petrol drivetrain, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Its compact hatchback format makes it well suited to everyday motoring, while the five-seat cabin and split-folding second-row seats provide useful flexibility when passenger or cargo needs change.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a six-speed sports automatic transmission. The naturally aspirated engine layout is uncomplicated, and the front-wheel-drive configuration is familiar and easy to live with. With 31,593km displayed on the odometer, this example presents as a relatively lightly used used vehicle, subject to independent inspection and verification.

The Active grade brings together useful equipment for daily driving. Smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto helps connect navigation, audio and compatible applications to the vehicle, while Bluetooth and a colour multifunction control screen add convenience. A six-speaker stereo, USB and auxiliary inputs provide several ways to access entertainment, and the multifunction steering wheel allows selected controls to be operated without reaching across the cabin.

Comfort and cabin usability are supported by air conditioning with a pollen filter, height adjustment for the driver’s seat, adjustable front steering-column reach and tilt, and leather-look trim on the seats, steering wheel and gear knob. Front and rear power windows, heated folding exterior mirrors, bottle holders, cup holders and door pockets add the small practical touches that matter during regular use. The rear seat splits and folds, creating more carrying flexibility when the full five-seat arrangement is not required.

On the outside, the silver hatchback is fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels and a full-size alloy spare wheel. LED daytime running lamps, automatic light-sensitive headlamp operation, high-beam auto dipping and a rear roof-mounted spoiler provide a considered mix of visibility and exterior detailing. Rear wiper and washer equipment is useful in changing weather, while the colour-matched bumpers and door handles keep the exterior presentation cohesive.

Driver assistance and safety equipment form a substantial part of the i30’s appeal. The vehicle includes a rear-view camera, rear parking-distance assistance with graphical display, forward collision warning and low-speed forward collision mitigation. Pedestrian avoidance with braking, lane departure warning, active lane-keeping assistance and driver attention detection are also listed. Electronic stability control, traction control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution and anti-lock brakes provide additional layers of active safety support.
