Here´s a set of spy-shots of the next-generation Hyundai i30 doing some winter testing outside the Korean automaker´s facility in northern Scandinavia. The next i30 is mostly hidden under heavy camouflage, but we can still make out some shape and design hints.
The rear lights have been moved and now come with a new design for the red LEDs. The sleek horizontal lines of the car are also European-izing the i30's design. Under the hood we can expected a 1.6-litre petrol engine with around 121 hp and 155 Nm of torque, as well as Hyundai's 1.7-litre diesel producing 113 hp and 255 Nm of torque. But if the Hyundai i30 is going to compete against the like of the Golf in Europe, it will need a little more jazz under the hood. That could mean the 1.6-litre Gamma GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) turbo with 138 hp and 167 Nm of torque or a juicier variant (developed for the Veloster) which produces an output of 175 hp.
