Hyundai i30 PD (2017-2026) Questions & Answers
VerifiedAlso referred to as: Hyundai i30 PD 2025 and Hyundai i30 PD 2027.
I have a 2020 built NLine with the DCT transmission. I previously had a Golf GTi with DSG gearbox. When I drove a demo NLine the gearbox was well behaved. Have now had the NLine for nearly 4 years and 31K kms I have found the DCT very frustrating to drive particularly from rest. Whilst it does not happens everytime it will jerk/shudder when accelerating from rest. I have tried to isolate when it does this and when it doesn't and it appears to be associated with the engine revs being low when it is at normal operating temperature I.e. it does not do this when cold and revs are slightly higher. Is this normal?
How is it should I buy it, how's the future of car if we compare it with Corolla
Hi Sukhi, I would prefer Toyota cars or consider manufactory engine warrantee with 10years. I learnt lesson now, in my opinion with 5 years warrantee it indicates Hyundai cars are not made for long, miss leading! Average household do not drive 200k within 5 years. Consumers need to know how to protect themselves by not fall into big corporations' sales pitch. Also if only offers 5 years, then no need to consider to service car at expensive dealership.

The Toyota will be better, but if you only want it for 4 or so years, the Hyundai is fine, and it's much bigger inside and more comfortable. The Toyota may have better fuel economy though
Hi Sukhi, I can't tell you which one to buy as I do not own a Hyundai i30 and a corolla at the same time, what I am saying is, the free software upgrade when serviced at Hyundai dealer is a joke, not sure about Toyota's map upgrade policy and how good it is. One last thing, mine is i30 2.0L with conventional gearbox, there are recalls with the more complicated 1.6L dual clutch gearbox, so Toyota's CVT is very safe. Regards
Does anyone know how to turn off the speed camera alert alarm on a 2021 i30 Elite sedan? Have tried everywhere within Maps & Navigation settings but no luck. Selected “None” within one of those (when asked about camera alerts) but annoying alarm keeps sounding. Turning down volume doesn’t help; altering distance at which alarm sounds makes no difference. Surely it can’t be a permanent/un-changeable feature? On a highway where there’s “point to point” cameras detecting average speed over several kilometres, the alarm can go on for quite a few minutes.
Has anyone done an ECU/Air intake/Throttle response unit upgrade and if so what products? Thanks
Interesting question. Why you ask? My brand new 2022 N line premium auto has a cold start issue where it sounds like it’s running on 3 cylinders for 30 secs during the choke period, and there is significant throttle response lag. I installed a little throttle controller in my other car an MG3 with a 1.5 naturally aspirated motor (that couldn’t pull the skin of a rice pudding) it had insanely poor performance. Makes a huge diff now. Throttle is on tap. And adjustable. Thinking of doing the same to the N line once they sort out the cold start / fuel ECU issue.
Hi verheijen, did you ever resolve this issue with the cold start up problem? I purchased the exact same model and I’m experiencing the exact same issue’s as you have mentioned. Looking forward to your response, thank you kindly.
Can anyone tell me when the next delivery of NLine premium i30 sedans are due in Brisbane, I placed a deposit in middle of last month in June, I'm curious if any one has a Estimated delivery date
I just got mine, love it, but warning alarm keeps going off while im driving but nothing on dash or screen to tell me why.. goes for 2 minutes at least, is a pain in the butt
I drove last week a customers car which use to be the dealers Demo car ,I believe the lane departure warning bell on the instrument panel is the noise that's the alarm ,I've remembered seeing a review on goggle cars guide about this alarm! And there is actually ment to be a way to turn off this alarm, try the steering wheel control buttons I'm thinking the buttons on right side of steering wheel near to the tyre pressure buttons
Why steering power very heavy on new facelift i30 hatch active?
Check your tyre pressure because low tyre pressure can cause heavy steering
Hi, does anyone know where in the navigation settings I can turn off the “you are exceeding the speed limit” voice. Very loud and distracting and happens when we go from 99 to 100. Many thanks :)
I never found a specific way to do that either - I've turned down the volume entirely on traffic alerts, so I don't hear it at all - I don't need a voice telling me about school zones, cameras, zebra crossings, ice-cream trucks etc etc. It's just annoying. Have a play in the settings, I can't remember where exactly...
