Latest i30 will grow Hyundai fleet sales

Date: 26 September 2011

Hyundai's new i30 is slightly longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, having been built on an all-new platform. With three diesel and three petrol engines, ranging from 90-135hp, the most fleet-friendly will be a 1.6-litre 128hp diesel with sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. It is also expected to be the biggest seller.

On sale in April, the new model is expected to further improve fortunes in the company car sector for Hyundai, with a spokesman saying 55% of sales will be fleet. He added: "Compared to the original i30, total cost of ownership for the

new-generation model will be reduced, helped by improved fuel efficiency, lower CO2 emissions and a lower insurance classification."
