Hyundai have confirmed the new generation i30 will go on sale at the start of March.

The latest range of the popular model will include a new 1.4 T-GDi 140PS engine with a six-speed manual option or a seven-speed DCT.

Each i30 will also come with a range of safety equipment as standard including lane departure warning system, forward collision warning system, lane keep assist and hill start assist control.

Regardless of trim, all new generation i30s will also come with DAB and Bluetooth connectivity as standard.

Prices will begin from £16,995 for the i30 S 1.0 T-GDi 120PS six-speed manual, while the i30 SE 1.0 T-GDi 120PS manual option will start at £18,695.

The top of the range options for buyers will be the Premium trim option, with prices starting at £22,195 for the 1.4 T-GDi 140 PS which boasts 17-inch alloy wheels with uprated Michelin tyres, dual zone climate control, electronic parking brake, privacy glass and heated front seats.

Tony Whitehorn, president of Hyundai Motor UK, said "The i30 has played a significant part in Hyundai’s transformation over the past decade; with over 117,000 i30’s sold in the UK since the first generation was launched in 2007.

"The second generation i30 achieved nearly 70,000 sales and we have solid expectations for the new generation i30. The original i30 was the model that sowed the seeds of our growth and we are confident that the New Generation i30 will again bring new customers into the brand with its great looks, technology and confident dynamic abilities."
