Hyundai i30, the car we all have heard about, it’s strong reputation for reliability and comfort has made it a very popular choice for an everyday car. But is the Hyundai i30 a good choice for long roads or highways? We will prove you it is.

Comfort and Space

What else would be more important than a comfort for long rides? The Hyundai i30 has it all to make your ride enjoyable with its well-designed seats, legroom and headroom.  The Hyundai i30 is suitable for drivers and passengers all ages and sizes. Its trunk space is ample and perfect for stowing luggage for not only small shopping in the city but also weekend getaways or extended journeys. Additional storage compartments enhance its functionality, making sure you are always ready for an organized and stress-free trip.

Fuel Efficiency and Range

As a small compact car, the i30 does not make you break the bank. The i30 is fuel efficient, particularly on highways, where its economic engine design shows its full potential. Its average fuel consumption is as low as 6.5L/100km and it can go even over 700km per tank, making it stress free, and refueling stops minimal. However, it is worth to mention that if the tank was slightly larger it could extend this range further, especially for remote Australian routes. But still, gas stations are widely available along all popular roads so it should not be a problem to refuel whenever necessary.

Safety Features

There is nothing more important than safety, especially when it comes to long-distance trips. Fortunately, the Hyundai i30 had an array of advanced safety features to always keep you safe. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Emergency Breaking, these are just some of many safety features making your ride with i30 safe and confident. Its high safety ranking and a suite of airbags provide peace of mind.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Don’t like to be bored and disconnected on the road? With i30’s features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto you do not need to worry about anything, its seamless navigation, streaming and communication options will keep you connected on the road. High-quality audio will keep you entertained, touchscreen display is easy to use and real-time updates on the routes and road conditions make your ride stress-free.

Practical Considerations

Hyundai i30 is a Korean made car, but even though it is just perfect for Australian road conditions. The i30 gives you balance, the driving experience is nothing but pleasant and its visibility is great. Its ergonomic driving position and responsive steering make it a joy to handle, even on Australian winding roads and rough surfaces. The ride with i30 is generally comfortable and smooth but on very bumpy routes some improvements in suspension could enhance comfort.

So how does Hyundai i30 handle long road trips?

Well, we would say that the Hyundai i30 proves to be a strong candidate for long highway drives.
