“Hyundai i40” is a large family car that is representative of the middle class. The model is focused on the European buyer. This car shared a platform with the famous North American Hyundai Sonata. Sales of the model started in 2011, and in the four years of its existence, it has become quite popular.
Design
First of all, I would like to tell you about the design that distinguishes the “Hyundai i40”. Interestingly, Thomas Bürkle, a former BMW specialist, worked on the appearance of the car.
So, this car is designed in typical Hyundai style. A kind of so-called liquid sculpture. Initially, the car was released as a station wagon, and then it began to appear in the sedan. Its trunk volume is 553 liters, but it can be increased to 1719 (if the rear seats are folded down).
Interestingly, the model is a bit like Elantra in its appearance, only stretched in all directions. The appearance of the car is created from a combination of exquisite flowing lines. One of the features is the hexagonal grille,located between the large head optics and LED daytime walkers, which also have a wave-like shape. No less original look and have fog lights that look like wings.
Hyundai i40 has a very fast-moving appearance, which experts successfully emphasized with a “shoulder rib” that runs along the entire body, and a sloping roof flowing into the trunk. And the embossed spectacular bumper completes the picture. Dynamics and sporty character - that's what can be seen in the entire image of the model.
Row of engines
Speaking about the "Hyundai i40", it is worth noting its technical characteristics. So, three versions are available to potential buyers. There is a model with a 1.7-liter diesel engine (one produces 116 hp and the other 136 hp). And of course, two versions with petrol units. One - with 1.6 - and the other - with a 2.0-liter volume. The first of these produces a power of 133 hp. s., and the second - 150 liters. With. For engines, the BlueDrive option is available, which is equipped with a start-stop function. Also, 16-inch tires equipped with rolling resistance are installed on gasoline versions of the car. This reduces the level of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere2.
Interior
“Hyundai i40” (station wagon) has a well-decorated interior. Its interior is decorated in the same design as the exterior. Smooth, flowing lines are also traced inside. This, in fact, is a feature of the Hyundai i40 car. The station wagon boasts a practical dashboard withwell-placed dials and display. Everything not only looks beautiful, but is also informative and practical. The front console is made in the corporate style of the company. It is also very modern and attractive. Even inside there is an audio system from Infiniti with a clear high-quality touch screen. True, this is only in the most expensive configuration. In the “medium” is just advanced “music” with a color screen. And in the cheapest one - an ordinary radio tape recorder. And in the cabin there is an air conditioning control unit (or dual-zone climate control - depending on the configuration), which is distinguished by its simplicity and practicality.
Salon Features
"Hyundai i40" (sedan) can not boast of any revelations in its trim. But nevertheless, everything inside looks interesting. You can see how a beautiful “wave” polished to a shine passes through the entire front panel, which divides the space into two “zones”. Everything above is made of soft, but expensive, high-quality plastic. And what is below is made of simple, hard plastic. The interior uses black lacquer, which makes the atmosphere more solid. The gear lever and steering wheel are trimmed with good leather.
The front passenger and driver are accommodated in comfortable soft seats, and for those sitting in the back there is a lot of free space, both at the feet and above the head. At a high level, both the ergonomics of the controls and their basing. Viewed transmissionThe tunnel doesn't even bulge. In general, the already well-known Hyundai i40 turned out to be quite practical. Owner reviews show that this is a really good car, which is a good choice if you need a car for comfortable city driving.
About cost
So, there are several versions available to potential buyers (as mentioned above). The cars do not differ much - in volumes, power indicators of engines installed under the hood and equipment. But in general, the cars are identical. The most popular version is considered to be a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine, atmospheric. Its power is 178 liters. With. It is aggregated exclusively by an automatic transmission. It accelerates to “hundreds” in less than 10 seconds. And the maximum is 211 km / h. Such a version will cost more than a million rubles (in a used condition). The 2014 version with a 2-liter 150-horsepower AT engine, equipped with ABS, ESP, heating, sensors, tinting and xenon headlights, will cost 900,000 rubles. The car is not cheap, but in general it is worth the money. Many owners were satisfied with their purchase.
