The Hyundai i45 is much more than just a new car. It's a new idea. State-of-the-art engineering maximises performance and fuel efficiency, and the spacious interior concealed within its sporty silhouette combines superior levels of safety with comfort and style.


Not just a pretty face

Sophisticated styling and intuitive functionality unite to make the i45 as exciting to drive as it is to admire from afar. Its smoked chrome radiator grille, fluid character lines, and sleek, eagle eye-shaped headlights reveal its sporty side, while its aerodynamics deliver an incredibly low drag coefficient of just 0.28, enabling it to cheat the wind and hug the road with even greater fuel economy.


For optimum protection and durability, advanced application processes ensure that the paintwork thoroughly seals and protects the chassis from corrosive elements such as salt and rain, resulting in a meticulous, long-lasting finish.


Cutting-edge technology

Behind the scenes, the i45 employs cutting-edge technologies for an exhilarating, yet safe driving experience. Steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters allow for greater control upshifting and downshifting, and the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) prevent the brakes from locking and distributes braking force according to the vehicle's load.


In the event of sudden braking or turning, electronic stability control (ESC) helps stabilise the i45, while Hyundai's traction control system (TCS) monitors grip and reduces wheel spin for more controlled driving on slippery or uneven road surfaces.


The i45's ergonomically designed cockpit takes the hassle out of driving. It's all about logic. Sporty dual gauges and a vacuum fluorescent display provide a large, clear overview of all the vehicle's key performance indicators, including an in-dash eco-indicator that prompts fuel-efficient driving. Easily accessible steering-wheel audio controls make it possible to change stations or turn up the volume without taking your eyes off the road.

Attention to detail is evident in the little extras: the driver's power seat with adjustable lumbar support; the integrated six-speaker audio system with iPod connectivity; proximity smart-key entry; and a fully automated air-conditioning system.

Performance with a conscience

Its sporty profile isn't all the i45 offers. Underneath the bonnet lies a technologically advanced, high-performance powertrain that produces lower CO2 emissions and provides greater fuel economy than many other similar-sized engines.


Thanks to the latest gasoline direct injection (GDI) technology, the 2.4-litre Theta-II engine runs cleanly and efficiently, producing up to 148kW of power and 250Nm of torque for effortless performance. Combined with a six-speed automatic transmission, it can deliver an impressive 7.9 litres per 100km.


Break with convention and step into the future — you'll enjoy the ride.
