Hyundai have announced the introduction of a revised diesel engine for the Hyundai i30 with reduced CO2 emissions.
The already highly efficient 1.6 CRDi engine will now benefit from CO2 emissions of just 119g/km (manual transmission only), breaking the 120g/km threshold to deliver a compelling customer benefit.
Key features include:
- Improved fuel economy (+2.7mpg on the combined cycle).
- No reduction to power or torque.
- Annual VED reduced from £120 to just £35.
- Company car drivers will pay tax at 13%, reduced from 18% on the current 1.6 CRDi (including 3% diesel supplement.
This new engine is presently available only on the 1.6 CRDi Premium Manual. Availability on Comfort and Style derivatives will be announced separately once existing diesel stock has been depleted and future production has been secured.
Revised technical specifications will be made available immediately on the Hyundai website in January 2009.

Tref,
Thanks for the feedback.
Hyundai are making serious in-roads in Europe with their car designs. They are no longer a budget brand. As one of the biggest car makers on the planet a lot of so called established European car makers will be worried. They have the resources, the best designers, factories and engine technology out there. The 5 year unlimited warranty goes a long way to proving that.
I’m pleased your enjoying your Hyundai i30.
