On sale from 5 January 2012, prices
will start from £17,395 on the road with insurance from Group 12E; and
as with the i40 Tourer, will offer customers a high level of standard
specification coupled with competitive cost of ownership. Also, with the
lowest ‘Benefit in Kind’(BIK) cost in class for key diesel derivatives,
the Hyundai i40 range will become an attractive alternative for company
car drivers.
Tony Whitehorn, Managing Director,
Hyundai Motor UK says: “The i40 Saloon represents the next-step in the
launch of the i40 range to the UK market. It is a vehicle that has been
designed and engineered specifically for Europe, ensuring its relevance
in the market place.
“The stylish saloon version shares the
same qualities found in the i40 Tourer - offering outstanding levels of
fuel-efficiency, comfort, quality, and a high level of standard
equipment all at an accessible price. It will broaden the appeal of the
i40 range to buyers in the D-segment by offering a unique, value for
money, customer proposition.”
The Hyundai i40 Saloon will be
available in the same three main trim levels as the i40 Tourer (Active,
Style and Premium) with the choice of two efficient engines, three power
outputs and manual or automatic transmission. Hyundai’s Blue Drive
technologies – incorporating Intelligent Stop & Go technology –
are fitted as standard on all Active derivatives, and on
the Style 1.7 CRDi 136PS Blue Drive and the Premium 1.7 CRDi 136PS Blue
Drive model ensuring CO2 emissions of 119 g/km.
Standard features, which set the i40
apart from other competitor offerings, are 16” alloy wheels, Bluetooth®
connectivity with voice recognition, leather steering wheel with audio
controls, electric heated door mirrors with integrated LED indicators,
electric front and rear windows and electric parking brake with
automatic hold function. Touch screen satellite navigation with rear
view camera, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control and dual
zone climate control are standard on the mid-point ‘Style’ range. The
Premium models benefit further from the addition of leather upholstery,
panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and supervision instrument cluster with
LCD colour display as standard, plus the option of the Lane Departure
Warning and Smart Parking Assist, heated leather steering wheel and
ventilated front seats.
The i40 uses the latest active and
passive safety technologies to ensure maximum protection for its
occupants. Active safety features include ESP (Electronic Stability
Program), ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), Hill-start Assist Control (to
prevent roll-back when starting on an incline), VSM (Vehicle Stability
Management), Brake Assist System and Emergency Stop Signal.
In terms of passive safety, every i40
on the road in the UK will be fitted with seven airbags as standard –
front, front side and curtain, with driver knee airbag available as
standard on all models. Hyundai anticipates the i40 Saloon to follow in
the footsteps of the Tourer by achieving the maximum 5-star result under
Euro NCAP’s impact assessment.
All Hyundai i40 models will be
supported by Hyundai’s industry-best, fully transparent Five Year Triple
Care assurance. This package offers five-year unlimited warranty, five
years of roadside assistance and five years of vehicle health checks.
