Even though it unveiled the facelifted i30 range earlier in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show, Hyundai is already working on the next-generation model. Our paparazzi caught a camouflaged version of the third-gen hatchback near the Nürburgring track in Germany ahead of its official launch in late 2016.
The same prototype previews the next Elantra GT model the brand will offer in the United States.
The current i30 was launched at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and received its mid-cycle facelift after nearly four years. The previous model was introduced in 2007 on the same platform as the Kia Cee’d. The hatchback was developed at Hyundai’s Design and Technical Center in Germany as a competitor to the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus.
Like its predecessors, the third-generation i30 will likely get a three-door hatch, five-door hatch, and wagon versions. In the U.S., it will be sold as a five-door hatchback only.
Very little is known about the upcoming i30, but the Korean company confirmed we will see it in the metal at the 2016 Paris Motor Show on September 7.
