2007年3月的日內瓦車展，韓國HYUNDAI發表全新世代的戰略車款i30，結果轟動全場，讓眾人瞭解HYUNDAI的設計功力與造車工藝，同年7月正式在韓國銷售並開始外銷到全球，三年左右時間總共銷售510,942輛，受歡迎程度再創品牌新高。
由HYUNDAI自行研發設計的i30，為造型優美且個性化的掀背車，在2007年7月於韓國上市後短短六個月銷售11,037輛，外銷部分則達59,679輛，創下HYUNDAI有史以來的最佳記錄，而從2007年7月到2010年3月i30在全求總共銷售510,942輛，其中在韓國生產338,708輛，韓國以外則生產172,234輛，可見i30果真符合市場需求。
另外i30在最近的英國汽車雜誌更獲得「2010英國消費者滿意度最高」的殊榮，並在韓國消費性雜誌「Which？」評選為中型掀背車最佳選擇，這些成果再再顯示i30的產品設定非常貼切現代消費者需要。
韓國消費性雜誌「Which？」評選為中型掀背車最佳選擇-這個不重要,自己國家總會說自己產品好!
i30在最近的英國汽車雜誌更獲得「2010英國消費者滿意度最高」的殊榮-這個才是重點!
各位知道在英國販賣的車種有多少嗎?
應該不太可能吧?
如果屬實
那麼
我跟英國許多消費者感覺還蠻一致的
版上幾位i30車主的使用口碑也正面居多
至少證明我極力推薦的i30
沒有太差吧!
這則新聞還真算是雪中送炭
讓我感到欣慰啊~
但在此也要說句公道話
除了本身的產品力以外
如果i30在台灣跟在英國一樣
能夠有相對同級競爭車種較低的售價以及更長的保固保證
我想在台灣i30應該也會受到許多支持肯定!
nice car hyundai i30

AUTO EXPRESS DRIVER POWER 2010

retweetThe results are in and there’s a shock in store – Hyundai’s i30 has scooped the prize as the UK’s most reliable car!
It beat the 2009 winner, the Jaguar XF – which finished second this year – and the Skoda Octavia, which finished in third place. And the result is set to cause a shockwave of respect, jealousy and envy from the world’s car makers.
The i30 shot straight into the coveted number one slot in the Driver Power Top 100 –the first time a Korean maker has won in nine years of the survey.
Completed by over 23,000 drivers, Driver Power is the definitive poll on car reliability and satisfaction.
While it was good news for Hyundai, Ford’s current Focus came resolutely mid-table – in 51st place. And it was an even worse story for Vauxhall. Its previous-generation Corsa supermini finished at the bottom of the Top 100, while the MkIV Astra was just one place above it, in 99th position.
However, it was Peugeot that walked away with the wooden spoon in the manufacturer countdown, thanks to poor performances by its 307 and 207 models.
A strong showing from the Octavia saw Skoda scoop the overall win in the manufacturer category, with Toyota luxury brand Lexus in second. The i30 helped Hyundai make the biggest overall leap, jumping 12 places to finish sixth.
Auto Express editor in chief David Johns said: “Congratulations to Hyundai. This is a huge breakthrough for the brand. Over the years, owners have told us what good value its cars are. This is the final proof that Hyundais can now match that with real all-round reliability and satisfaction.”
The Driver Power Top 10
1. Hyundai i30
2. Jaguar XF
3. Skoda Octavia
4. Volkswagen Golf MkVI
5. Renault Mégane MkIII
6. Land Rover Discovery 3
7. Rover 75
8. Mercedes E-Class (2002-2009)
9. Toyota Prius (2003-2009)
10. Jaguar S-Type
Best Manufacturer – Skoda
Hats off to Skoda! Ousting Lexus from the top spot last year, Skoda has held onto the gold medal in 2010 thanks to the excellent Fabia and Octavia models. With well-recieved newcomers such as the Yeti and Superb, we can only expect the firm to do the same in 2011.
Running costs – Fiat Panda
There’s no doubt about it – if you want to keep an eye on the pennies, the Fiat Panda is the clear winner. Drivers love its fuel-efficient engines, low insurance costs and servicing bills that result in a smile rather than a wince.
Reliability – Toyota Prius
It’s had a tough time of late but the Driver Power results speak volumes – Toyota Prius owners have had no problems to report. That’s remarkable in a car that packs so much hi-tech equipment.
Ease of driving – Toyota Prius
Just jump in and go – that’s the message the Prius sends out. Even though it has a complex drivetrain, Toyota’s hybrid is a breeze to drive, providing light steering, simple controls and a fine view of the road.
Practicality – Land Rover Discovery 3
Here’s proof when it comes to practicality, you don’t need an MPV. The Discovery 3 has more ‘throw it all and go’ ability than any other to in the Driver Power Top 100, thanks to its vast size, seven-seater layout and split tailgate.
Build quality – Lexus IS (old model)
Hewn-from-granite and likely to last just as long, the previous generation Lexus IS is the Driver Power Build Quality champion. Drivers say their cars are still as rattle free as the day they left the factory.
