The updated 2021 Hyundai i30, in theory Hyundai has taken what was already a good thing and made it even better, there are some subtle changes. but i think there is one big question we need to look at with this particular vehicle because it's the entry level model with an automatic transmission. Does the most affordable Hyundai i30 that you can get your hands on with an automatic feel like you're missing out on anything?  Let's find out. 

As tested, our base auto i30 starts from $25,420, while the next model up the tree, which is the Active Auto, starts from $26,920, both before on-road costs. If you want the regular range topper, outside the performance variants, that will set you back $36,220 for the N Line Premium auto, also before on-road costs.

Standard inclusions on this model are lengthy despite the sharp pricing. Outside, you get 16-inch alloy wheels and face-lifted styling, while inside the cabin there are three driving modes for the auto we're testing here. Smartphone mirroring is standard, along with. 7.0-inch driver's display and the 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and six-speaker audio system. There's no digital radio for this model grade. The steering wheel and shift knob are leather trimmed, and the driver's seat is height adjustable. Second row passengers also get AC vents.

Strangely, and it's one of the few things we can't actually work out with the updated i30, this specification grade has wireless Apple CarPlay only, but no wireless charging. So that means you have to connect your phone via Bluetooth, but still plug in to charge.

That 2.0L engine generates 120kW and 203Nm and drives through a six-speed auto with sequential shift mode. The ADR claimed fuel usage for the auto is 7.4L/100km and on test we used an indicated 8.1L/100km.

This new entry-level model, which is known simply as Hyundai i30, now features the brand's SmartSense safety package as standard equipment, which includes autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keep assist. Automatic models like this one also get adaptive cruise control. Hyundai i30 carries a five-star ANCAP rating from 2017. It's covered by a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and capped price servicing scheme. For the entry grade, as well as Active and Elite, that servicing plan - which is required every 12 months or 15,000km, will cost $897, for three years, $1196 for four years and $1495 for five years.
