Peugeot 308 2014 vs Hyundai i30 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Peugeot 308) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Hyundai i30) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 120 HP | 140 HP | |
| Torque: | 300 NM | 242 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.9 seconds | 9.1 seconds | |
|
Hyundai i30 is a more dynamic driving. Peugeot 308 engine produces 20 HP less power than Hyundai i30, but torque is 58 NM more than Hyundai i30. Due to the lower power, Peugeot 308 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.8 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 3.7 | 5.0 | |
|
The Peugeot 308 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Peugeot 308 consumes 1.3 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Hyundai i30, which means that by driving the Peugeot 308 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 195 litres of fuel. | |||

| Full fuel tank distance: | 1430 km in combined cycle | 1000 km in combined cycle | |
| 1550 km on highway | 1190 km on highway | ||
| Peugeot 308 gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 109 mm (4.3 inches) | 140 mm (5.5 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. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 11 years | 9 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 11 other car models, including Citroen C4, Peugeot 3008, Citroen Berlingo, Opel Grandland | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Kia Ceed, Hyundai Elantra, Kia XCeed | |
| 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. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.59 m | 4.59 m | |
| Width: | 1.81 m | 1.80 m | |
