Hyundai considered that it didn't have enough from the successful model i30 and, in 2017, introduced a fastback version for the third generation of its compact vehicle.
Besides the hatchback and the station wagon, the Korean carmaker tried its luck with a fastback version, which was something between a regular hatch and a long roof model. Naturally, named it fastback and sold it in specific markets where it considered that it might be successful.
Sharing its front fascia with the rest of the range, the newest member of the family featured the same swept-back headlights that flanked the smaller Cascade Grille. On the lower bumper, the arched LED daytime running lights installed on the lower side scoops hid the fact that those were fake air intakes. On its profile, the i30 fastback showed a distinct shape than its siblings, with an ascending beltline toward the rear duck-tail at the end of the trunk. The raked-froward tailgate didn't get a wiper since Hyundai considered that it doesn't need one. Moreover, the roof was lowered by 25 mm (1 inch) compared to its hatchback sibling.
Inside, Hyundai installed the same dashboard as in the hatchback, with the five-inch infotainment system atop the center stack in a floating-design position. As for the safety systems, Hyundai excelled in offering plenty of them, including automatic emergency braking beside the lane keep assist or the driver attention alert and automatic cruise control. The rear split-folding seats allowed customers to increase the trunk size.
Under the hood, Hyundai installed a choice of turbocharged diesel and gasoline engines, ranging between 120 and 140 PS (118 hp and 138 hp).
