Experts of the prestigious iF Design competition highly appreciated the new i30, highlighting its strict and precise lines, refined surfaces and expressive body, which together form a versatile and self-sufficient image of the car.

“It is a great honor for us that the new generation Hyundai i30 has been awarded this prestigious iF Design award in the design category. This is a well-deserved recognition of the work and passion of our design team, who create cars that delight Hyundai fans with their style and quality. The fact that Hyundai Motor receives this high award for the fourth time in a row shows that we are moving in the right direction,” said Peter Schreyer, chief designer of Hyundai Motor Group.

The new i30 represents the next step in the development of Hyundai Motor's design philosophy, which is reflected in both the exterior and interior design of the model. The key element was the new Cascading Grille, which will now become a distinctive feature of all future Hyundai models. It is complemented by narrow headlights that emphasize the dynamic and bold character of the car.

The iF Design awards, presented for more than six decades, are considered one of the most authoritative global recognitions in the field of design. The organizer of the competition, the international forum iF International Forum Design GmbH, annually honors outstanding achievements in various design categories and nominations.
