Hyundai i40 Phase 1 2011 - 2014

The Hyundai i40 is a Korean compact sedan launched in 2011, embodying the manufacturer's ambition to move upmarket and improve perceived quality against established European standards. Since its inception, the Hyundai i40 story has revolved around two distinct generations: the first (2011-2019) marked the arrival of a model with refined design and generous equipment, while the second generation, beginning in 2020, displays increased modernity with more expressive lines and notable improvement in habitability. The Hyundai i40 model positions itself directly against competitors such as the Volkswagen Passat or Renault Talisman, offering excellent value for money in the mid-range family sedans segment. Throughout its Hyundai i40 generations, the vehicle benefited from recurring technological evolutions: refined engines, improved infotainment systems, enhanced active safety and higher-quality cabin materials. Available in sedan and estate body styles, the i40 primarily targets customers seeking generous interior space, proven reliability and dependable after-sales service, without the surcharges of premium German brands. Today, the offering remains attractive in the practical sedans market, with technical specifications proposing gasoline and diesel engines compliant with Euro 6d standards, complemented by comprehensive standard equipment including smartphone connectivity, driving assistance and careful finishes according to trim levels.
