Hyundai Smart Sense

The updated i30 offers the latest version of Hyundai Smart Sense, which brings together various active safety and driving assistance systems. Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) helps detect and avoid a potential collision with road obstacles. The autonomous Lane Following Assist (LFA) system helps the driver with subtle steering corrections to stay in the center of the lane. Intelligent Speed ​​Limit Assist (ISLA) adjusts driving speed to the applicable speed limit and Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) prevents rear seat occupants from being forgotten when leaving and locking the vehicle.

FCA can optionally be supplemented with Intersection Reversing, so that the system is also active at intersections. This feature detects oncoming vehicles when the driver turns left at an intersection. If there is a possibility of a collision, the system automatically activates the brakes. Highway Driving Assist (HDA) 1.5 ensures that the vehicle’s speed and the vehicle’s distance in front remain constant when driving on the highway, while keeping the Hyundai i30 in the middle of the road; also when taking a bend.

Hyundai i30 for model year 2024 has more comfort functions. For example, LED lights have been added in the interior and luggage compartment for better lighting. Thanks to standard front and rear parking sensors, Parking Distance Warning (PDW), the driver is warned if an obstacle is detected when the Hyundai i30 moves forward or reverses at low speed. For low fuel consumption, the power train can be combined with 48-volt Mild-Hybrid technology that ensures low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions.
