HYUNDAI i40 · photos, packages and modifications

There is a model introduced in the market as a practical alternative to the competitors including Peugeot 508 and the VW Passat those are well-established one, namely as the Hyundai i40 saloon with stylish look. Top-spec models of this kind would come up as the well-equipped one, but with the particular price. The punchy 1.7 liter CRDi diesel is treated as the efficient and cheap one to tax according to this model, which would probably make the i40 as a hit with other company car buyers. The excellent five-year triple care package would attract most of the private buyers towards it along with the free warranty of five years servicing and an efficient roadside assistance option.

Because of the sporty flourishes that are similar to the subtle boot spoiler and sleek lines, the look of Hyundai i40 is treated as the great one. It is also because of the other included features such as LED daytime running lights and the standard-fit alloys. Even though it is not quite attractive one compared to the Kia Optima that is treated as the sister car of i40, the cabin is treated as one of the best features of it. The cabin is available with acres of space, lots of top-quality trim and high-class switchgear option. It has three trim levels including Premium, Active and Style and all the versions come with the features of Bluetooth, 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic lights and air-con for efficient make over. In the case of top-spec premium cars, it comes with the features of keyless entry and start, 18-inch alloys, a touchscreen sat-nav with reversing camera, heated seats, a panoramic roof and the leather upholstery.

The refined Hyundai i40 model is treated as impressively quite cruiser one. Even though this model is available with sport suspension as optional one, it would probably prove out the comfortable over rough roads along with the soft and supportive seats. But, it is not treated as the best one to offer good drive compared to the Skoda Superb and Ford Mondeo models. The biggest issue with this i40 model is the steering, which could probably be vague and light in the case of straight-ahead along with the artificial weights up when turning towards it. The buyers have only two options to select the engines as petrol and diesel and the later one would offer two power outputs efficiently along with some of the Hyundai models as eco Blue Drive technology. The 133 bhp and 164 Nm of torque can be produced by 1.6 liter petrol, which would probably go from 0 to 62 mph in 11.3 seconds along with the top speed of 122 mph. In the case of a 1.7 CRDi diesel, it is available with 114 bhp and 192 Nm or 134 bhp and 240 Nm along with the lower powered version that could go from 0 to 62 mph in 12.3 seconds efficiently. But, the more powerful version can offer the Blue Drive cuts along with the more respectable 10.3 seconds option.

In the Euro NCAP crash test, the Hyundai i40 achieved out a five-star rating along with the impressive 92 percent for adult occupant. Every i40 comes with the standard features including seven airbags, ESP, ABS and hill-hold assist options. A lane departure system is added by the optional Assist Pack, which would probably make the car to get steered automatically in the case of wants to go out of that particular lane. When you consider about the long-term reliability of i40, it is too new and the Hyundai is available with very good reputation, which finished out the seventh position out of 30 in the Driver Power reliability survey conducted in 2012. A five-year warranty is carried by every Hyundai model.

In the case of boot space, the i40 saloon is available with 525 liter boot that is slightly smaller one compared to that of Ford Mondeo. Even though folding of rear seats and the opening is wider one, resulting hole that could probably be got through the bulkhead to the cabin is relatively small, which could result in loading the larger items as the bit tricky one. It is treated as an efficient thing to opt for the i40 Tourer, if you have preferred to go with the car of more practicality that would probably offer with massive 1,719 liter of space in the case of folded rear seats. This model especially has plenty of space for five adults and legroom as the best and efficient one in the front seats along with a lot of clever stowage space.
