2024 HYUNDAI I30 HYBRID SEDAN FUEL CONSUMPTION TEST: ROAD TRIP REVIEW TRAVEL VLOG | ELANTRA

EV Channels Review

This review of the 2024 Hyundai i30 Hybrid Sedan focuses on a real-world fuel consumption test during an 800km road trip from Winton to Adelaide. The reviewer found the car to be a comfortable cruiser with impressive fuel efficiency, achieving 4.5 L/100km, which is close to the claimed 3.8 L/100km. Positives include the sophisticated independent rear suspension on hybrid models, a roomy cabin, and good LED headlights with auto high beam. However, the reviewer expressed significant frustration with the intrusive speed sign recognition and lane-keeping assist systems, which frequently beeped and sometimes switched off unexpectedly, along with the adaptive cruise control. The base model also lacks keyless entry and a push-button start, and the transmission can be hesitant on hilly terrain. The lack of an ANCAP rating is also a notable point for potential buyers, especially for business or ride-sharing use.
