New restyling Hyundai version i40 2016-2017, which has already gained its popularity, was released in 2015, and the manufacturer, due to the success of the previous version, relies on this big hopes, they also began to focus on young buyers, a little later you will understand why and how.
Design
The new model is visually similar to both . This only played into the hands of the manufacturer, because the corporate design remains and thus remains recognizable. As usual, we will first discuss the changes in the front, and then move on to the rest.
The face of the sedan looks attractive, with a little bit of aggression added in order to attract young buyers to purchase. The car has narrow optics, with lensed optics for near and high beam, and daytime running lights are LED stuffing, they are also duplicated at the bottom of the bumper. The grille is a huge 6-corner chrome grille that adds an aggressive look to the design. The hood is quite embossed, and the massive bumper has aerodynamic elements at the bottom.
From the side, the car very much resembles the pre-styling version due to its silhouette. The model has an elegant slit line running from rear optics to the front arch. The arches themselves are swollen, but not much, this is enough to write off the general style. There is a deep stamping in the lower part of the door.
The rear of the model resembles premium cars due to its optics, with LED filling. Take a look at the photo and you will understand everything yourself. The trunk lid is decorated with a full-width chrome insert at the base. The massive bumper is equipped with a plastic lining at the bottom, under which there are 2 exhaust pipes.
If we consider Hyundai dimensions i40 2016-2017, then it fully fits the parameters of the D-class:
- length - 4745 mm;
- width - 1815 mm;
- height - 1470 mm;
- wheelbase - 2770 mm;
- ground clearance - 147 mm.
Interior
They tried to make the interior of the model as similar as possible to the exterior, and it worked out. There are many smooth lines, as well as a pinch of aggression. Let's start with the seats, the driver and passenger will receive beige seats (you can choose others), which are comfortable to sit in, but besides that, lovers of active driving will also like them, because they are equipped with serious lateral support. Armchairs have mechanical adjustments and already in the basic configuration they are equipped with heating.
The back row is able to accommodate 3 passengers who will comfortably accommodate and feel comfortable. The backrests are high enough and equipped with a mechanical tilt adjustment function. Enough legroom.
Now let's move back to the front row. The driver will receive a 4-spoke multi-steering wheel, behind which is a large and beautiful dashboard with blue backlight. On the sides are two huge analog speedometer and tachometers, which include smaller gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. Between them is a large on-board computer displaying enough useful information about the car, including consumption and how many kilometers the remaining fuel will last. Slightly higher are the turn indicators.
The center console at the very top has a multimedia system with a small color display that is controlled by buttons around it. Below is already the air conditioning control unit, which in expensive trim levels Hyundai i40 2016 can be replaced with dual-zone climate control. The block has a selector and a display that shows the selected settings. Next we have a box, buttons for disabling security systems, a gear selector and another box with cup holders.
The trunk will please with its volume of 525 liters and the presence full size spare wheel, but practicality is upsetting, it is high, and loading something heavy will be extremely inconvenient. Also upsets the lack of organizers and boxes for small things.

Hendai i40 was once launched as a result of the creations of the best Rüsselsheim developers. This car is considered one of the best representatives of European taste, despite the South Korean manufacturer. However, the development itself took place in Germany, centered on Hyundai's European R&D research center. Thanks to Thomas Bürkle, the former chief designer of BMW, today we see the Hyundai i40 just like that.
This model has a North American platform Hyundai Sonata. The interior, equipment and driving style make even the most demanding motorists admire this model. The first sales began back in 2011, immediately after the Geneva Motor Show presented the Hyundai i40 station wagon on its windows, and a little later the sedan. Both bodies were liked by buyers.
Options and prices Hyundai i 40
As for the i40 interior, it can be called typically Korean: quite elegant shapes, curves, blue dashboard lighting, rectangular buttons, which is very typical. Roughly speaking, for a business class car, this is a rather unexpected decision. Not everyone will like this style, it will be especially uncomfortable for fans of the cockpit BMW, which in its form resembles a stack of thick books in several levels. This car is not suitable for lovers of strict and sharp forms, and indeed not for all people in the business class.
However, the relatively new Hyundai i40 easily wins the hearts of motorists not at all with its delicate forms. Sitting in this car, the buyer first of all feels comfort covering his head. The way the driver and passenger seats are located, their material and fit - that's what makes this car so popular. With electric adjustment, the passenger can fully customize the seat, from the lift, knee support, backrest tilt, and ending with moving back and forth. The position of the headrest will have to be done manually. The lumbar cushion is also electrically adjustable: at the touch of a button, it automatically inflates or deflates.
Important! Sufficiently wide edges of the lift and longitudinal travel are extremely versatile. Thanks to these two key "growth" adjustments, the use of this car is comfortable for both short drivers and tall ones.
The pleasant surprises do not end there. The front seats of the driver and passenger expect several levels of ventilation and "warming up", namely three. Plus, a nice point for lovers of comfort: as soon as the door opens, the automatic seat moves to the side, making disembarkation more convenient.
The rear seats, that is, the passenger seats, of course, are not equipped too big amount functions and lotions, such as ventilation or various adjustments, but in general, staying on them can be called quite comfortable. The developers did not pay too much attention to these details and argued that the Hyundai ah 40 is a car in which representatives of the bourgeois class can and should comfortably sit in the front passenger seat, and the rear ones are purely “in reserve”.
The sporty and slightly “frivolous” style for the business class did not extend to the gear selector knob - it has a traditional shape. The switches under the steering wheel are small in size and comfortable shape, do not contain extra functions.
Hyundai i40 also has a built-in auto-hold function, which allows you to move safely in traffic jams. After braking, this function takes control of the gearbox, and the car will not move, even if it is in drive mode and you release the brake. Switch off this function simple: just press the "auto hold" accelerator.
The car is equipped with lamps, of which there are exactly 6. They are turned on both automatically and forcibly: using a special switch - there is nothing unusual here. The roof is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, which also adds the right light. Opens fully or partially, depending on the desire of the owner. Thus, you can simply let some light into the cabin by opening special curtains, open the hatch for a little ventilation or open it completely.
Interior trim is made in black colors, which adds presentability and seriousness. The material is good quality and pleasant to the touch. Some subtle details are made in matte dark gray plastic.
The steering wheel is made of black genuine leather, and the seats are made of a combination of natural and artificial leather.
This car also boasts a multimedia system corresponding to the business class. A 7-inch color display and a sound system will impress lovers of good sound in a car. As a signal source, a disk, a flash drive, any phones and radio can be used.
The developers have tried to integrate the multimedia system very carefully into electronic system auto, so, for example, when the fuel level is low, the display will show you a corresponding message with a suggestion to find the nearest gas station.
For Hyundai i40, the price was presented in a special price list. Already at the beginning of 2012, the price of a car was announced in Russia. Due to various changes and reconfigurations, the price of a car has been actively changing for several years and basically growing. Already in April 2015, the prices for the configuration of all models increased by 25 thousand rubles. On this moment the cost of Hyundai i 40 is approximately 1,124,000 rubles.
