The transfer makes the Czech-built ‘common’ i30 Hatch short-lived in our market, having solely arrived right here late final 12 months.
Hyundai Australia switched to Czech sourcing for the core i30 Hatch lineup – the N was already constructed there – after Korean manufacturing ended for the small hatchback.
Whereas that allowed Hyundai to supply a considerably extra environment friendly turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol powertrain, it additionally pressured up the worth of the small hatch – not helped by the 5 per cent import obligation on European imports.
Supplied solely in N Line and N Line Premium trim ranges, the i30 Hatch copped worth hikes of $3500 to $3700. With the lack of extra inexpensive trim ranges, the bottom worth of the i30 Hatch additionally soared by a whopping $12,000.
The change to European sourcing not solely introduced a brand new powertrain, but additionally revised front- and rear-end styling, plus LED inside lighting.
Whereas Hyundai ended Korean manufacturing of the i30 Hatch, the i30 Sedan continues to be produced there for markets together with ours. Australia is uncommon in that this mannequin wears the i30 Sedan nameplate right here; it’s often known as the Avante or Elantra elsewhere.
The way forward for the i30 nameplate itself can also be wanting a bit murky.
Whereas the i30 Sedan/Elantra/Avante is ready to enter a brand new technology this decade, the long-term way forward for the i30 Hatch – together with its liftback and wagon relations in Europe – isn’t assured.
The i30 N Hatch has already been axed in Europe, the place it continues to be produced for a handful of markets together with ours.
The remainder of the i30 vary is anticipated to obtain one more facelift to squeeze some extra life out of a mannequin that first entered manufacturing in 2016. Camouflaged prototypes have just lately been spied testing in Europe.
Nevertheless, there’s no phrase on a new-generation mannequin within the pipeline, in distinction with sister model Kia which just lately launched the K4 as its new world small automobile. This may even change the European-developed Ceed, a cousin to the i30 Hatch which was additionally developed with Europe as a spotlight.
Hyundai might select to retire the i30 lineup, not directly changing it with the all-electric Ioniq 3 revealed in idea type finally month’s Munich motor present. That is set to enter manufacturing in Türkiye in 2026.
VFACTS gross sales figures in Australia don’t get away i30 gross sales by physique fashion, however Hyundai has beforehand confirmed that, previous to the change in sourcing, hatchback variants accounted for 80 per cent of i30 gross sales.
To the tip of September, Hyundai has delivered 8468 i30s in Australia this 12 months. Whereas that’s greater than every other rival bar the top-selling Toyota Corolla (14,282), it’s an 8.4 per cent drop in comparison with the identical interval final 12 months.
Thoughts you, that’s nonetheless much less of a decline than that skilled by nearly all of its rivals, whereas the small-car section is down 24.3 per cent total. However whereas the i30 Sedan lineup has grown, gaining hybrid variants since launch, the i30 Hatch vary has shrunk.
