We started a new long-term test in this case, aboard the Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi Diesel 136 hp. A good test to check the reliability of this compact car.

Started an interesting challenge with one of the C-segment compact car has undergone further evolution, the new Hyundai i30, this time endowed with the Diesel engine 1.6 CRDi 136 hp associated direct-shift gearbox 7DCT. Over the next few months he will face various tours all roads of our country under various conditions, allowing us to collect information from drivers and also achieve objective measurements of different sections, as our Technical Center will perform data acquisition performance to assess their performance.

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi 136 hp: Features

In the 2017 Hyundai i30 range, the only engine Diesel available is the 1.6 CRDi turbocharged four cylinders and three power levels: 95, 110 and 136 hp. It is this latest version chosen for our long-term test.

He Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi 136 hp you can choose with six-speed manual gearbox or a 7DCT automatic dual clutch seven-speed. The latter transmission improves fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 20 percent compared to the conventional six-speed automatic transmission, while the acceleration increases up to 10 percent. He 7DCT change It has two dry clutch with an actuator for each. Torque delivery is transferred independently even and odd gears, to be always ready to switch to the next speed without torque interruption. To improve the response, an actuator driven by an electric motor is applied, and a number of external shocks reduce the noise, vibration and harshness during driving.

At Hyundai i30 Style 1.6 CRDi 136 hp especially highlights the number of devices included on safety and driver assistance, as the autonomous emergency braking system with frontal collision warning -works from 10 km / h-, intelligent cruise control, which switches off at a speed of 10 km / h or less, the detection system dead angle the rear traffic alert, warning the involuntary change lanes or alert the driver attention, which analyzes different driving patterns to determine the level of attention -configurable- pilot to avoid accidents. It also has maintenance system in the lane over 60 km / h speed limit information from the image captured by the cameras and the browser and automatic transmission system for passing / driving light.

Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi 130: first reviews

We have spent several days testing the Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi 136 hp. At this early stage of long-term test, here are the first opinions Some of the testers.

"Very nice: I had not had the chance to drive any version of the i30 so far and, frankly, this 136 hp diesel variant with automatic transmission has seemed especially nice. It is true that the transmission is not as quick and athletic as the other models we’ve recently driven, but in return, offers greater smoothness in transitions. Cams help shift gears when necessary, especially in the reducciones- and engine offers good dose of thrust from virtually idle. Also nice surprise inside, very well finished, comfortable, well-ordered simple and intuitive controls and huge standard equipment on this top version." Rafael Guitart.

"Almost autonomous: I stay, this time with two aspects. The behavior, poise and stability which manifests road, providing tremendous confidence; and they provide the driving aids that, in practice, allow who gets his steering wheel jammed relax on journeys. In fact, over 60 km / h do not even need to be responsible for guiding the direction, as it is gently maintained between the lines faithfully. Moreover, the radar adjusts the distance to the vehicle and determines braking even completely stop the car or cruise control handles acceleration. The driver stuck in traffic, so you just need to blow a little gas to get going when he plays -there ends his paper with treadle and going very slowly, taking over the wheel, because in this version, even necessary rule change. It switchboard and dual-clutch box handles 7DCT." Luis Miguel Vitoria.

"Impeccable rutero: more than a thousand kilometers ahead and my three daughters “piggyback” on a weekend in which I’ve seen rain like never before and I have moved, at night, wrapped asphalt road in full operation. First assault, determined by the binomial consumption / actual tank capacity. This i30 holds lengthy runs at a very fast pace; and neither the body, the overall seating comfort, suspension or isolation, and the occupiers, for the generous rear amplitude, are “calling time” every few kilometers. Chassis, I stay with impeccable aplomb. On the engine, its consistent midrange, next to the good work of the automatic transmission. And it should be noted, something not usual, the perfect automatic operation in the transition from short / long lights." Raúl Roncero
