HYUNDAI Motor Firm Australia (HMCA) lately launched the brand new i30 Sedan to the Australian market as a alternative for its slow-selling Elantra, a small sedan supplied in the identical section because the ever-popular i30 hatch.
To try to inject some extra gross sales motion into the section and assist overhaul the Toyota Corolla because the king of the sub-$40,000 small automobile section, HMCA determined to rebadge the brand new fourth-generation Elantra because the i30 Sedan and capitalise on the nameplate’s reputation.
The factor is although, the i30 Sedan isn’t an i30 – it rides on a very completely different platform for starters and shares not one of the hatch’s panels on prime of being a complete 310mm longer.
We had been curious as to if this new larger providing was worthy of carrying the i30 badge or if it will be higher off sticking with the Elantra nameplate in spite of everything.
