2013 Hyundai i30 3-door arrives on video

The next variant on the Hyundai i30 – the 3-door i30 – has arrived on video ahead of arriving in Hyundai’s Uk showrooms. Not only are there endless press releases for the news the car makers want you to know about, but there’s an even more endless stream of feeds coming in to make sure we miss nothing.

And it’s a car that makes a lot of sense, especially in the current market.
