The appearance is important, the performance is good, but when we buy a car, an important factor must also be the safety it provides. In this area, the independent European assessment organization Euro NCAP is helping us all. So in the strict control process of this organization, the new Hyundai i30 was awarded with the maximum score of five stars! In detail, it received a score of 90% in the ‘Protection of Children’ area, achieving the maximum possible score for protecting children at both the ages of 18-months and three-years-old. This result is best in class.
In the ‘Adult Occupant’ category, the new-generation i30 also scored 90%, while the vehicle’s head restraint and seat were singled out for providing excellent neck injury protection in the event of a rear-end collision.
It also received a very good score in the area of ”pedestrian” protection, for the protection provided by the vehicle’s bumper in the event of an impact with pedestrians’ legs. Notably, the i30 managed to achieve a score of 86% in the ‘Electronic Safety Systems’ category for the electronic stability program as well as the front and rear seat belt reminder systems.
