Hyundai Ireland has announced pricing and specification for their all-new i40 family size car, which is due to go on sale in Ireland at the end of June.
The estate version of the new i40 will be the first to arrive, with two trim levels available. The I40 Comfort will retail from €24,995.
Standard specification includes electric stability control (ESC ), brake assistant system (BAS ), hill assist control (HAC ), vehicle stability management (VSM ), electronic parking brake (EPB ) with auto hold, six-speed manual transmission, daytime running lights, and nine air bags including rear side airbags.
Economy is boosted by a start stop system and 205/60R16 low rolling resistance tyres, and a lighter space saver spare wheel.
It also has a fully adjustable steering wheel, manual air conditioning, leather steering wheel and gear knob, Bluetooth plus voice recognition (phone and audio stream ), radio/CD (+ MP3 + RDS + USB + AUX + iPod ), front door courtesy lamp, the outside adjustable door mirrors are heated electrically, and there are LED rear lights.
The higher/second spec. level in the i40 is the Executive, which will retail from €26,495 - both ex-works. For the extra two grand, you get alloy wheels (16" ), dual zone climate control with auto demist, electrochromatic rear view mirror with integrated camera, fully adjustable electric driver’s seat plus a manual height adjustment for the front seat passenger, cruise control with speed limiter, rain sensor, electric folding door mirrors, luggage floor rail system, interior brushed metal finish trims, front footwell lights, and exterior body coloured door handles and chrome trim.
Hyundai says that these launch prices will apply until December, when the i40 estate version will increase in price by €1,500. At that time, Hyundai will also launch the new i40 saloon version.
The new i40 comes with Hyundai’s five year Triple Car Plan, five years unlimited mileage warranty, five years health check, and five years roadside assistance. Hyundai points out that terms and conditions apply to this coverage.
The i40 will arrive with a 1.7 diesel engine that fits into Band A CO2 emissions, which attracts just €104 annual road tax.
