The third and current generation, unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show with a new “cascading grille” that has since defined Hyundai’s whole range.[1] It comes in more body styles than any i30 before it: hatchback, estate (“Wagon”) and a fastback liftback. Once again, it wears an entirely different name in North America, sold there as the Elantra GT.
Two petrol engines are recorded here, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder and a 1.4-litre four-cylinder turbo; the performance-focused i30 N and its substantially different chassis and outputs are left for a future pass rather than folded in as another trim of this one. Dimensions and kerb weight are both published as ranges spanning body style and trim (kerb weight even spans up to the 275 PS N model), so the lowest figure in each range is recorded at generation level, not assigned to a specific trim.
