| Ground clearance: | 140 mm (5.5 inches) | 110 mm (4.3 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Hyundai i30 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Hyundai i30 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||

| Engine production duration: | 11 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Kia RIO, Hyundai i20 | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including Citroen C3, Peugeot 2008, Citroen C4, Opel Crossland | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Peugeot 308 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
