The Hyundai i40 is a mid-size family car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company. First introduced at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the i40 is available in both saloon and estate body styles. Built on the Elantra i40 platform, its design follows Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture philosophy, giving it a sleek and dynamic appearance. With its elongated headlights and taillights, the i40 stands out as one of the most stylish Asian vehicles in its class. The aerodynamic silhouette is enhanced by a low window line, contributing to its modern and sporty look.
Inside, the Hyundai i40 features high-quality materials and a dashboard that complements the vehicle’s contemporary exterior. The futuristic instrument cluster is reminiscent of the design seen in the Honda Civic. The i40 offers a generous boot capacity of 553 litres, which expands to 1,719 litres with the rear seats folded down—ideal for families and long trips.
Even the base model comes well-equipped, featuring a full suite of safety systems, air conditioning, and seven airbags. An electronic parking brake is also included, although it may not appeal to all drivers. The suspension is tuned for comfort, with independent MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride even on rough roads. The steering is precise, adding to the overall driving enjoyment.
Under the hood, the Hyundai i40 is powered by a range of modern engines, including efficient CRDi diesel units and GDI petrol engines with direct injection technology.
The standard tyre size for the Hyundai i40 is 205/60 R16.
Optional tyre sizes include: 215/55 R16, 215/50 R17, and 225/45 R17.
