Overview of the new generation Hyundai I40 2015-2016. Specifications, photos, equipment, all in one article!
Not to say that the car has changed dramatically. The first generation was originally produced in the back of a Wagon, then a sedan appeared. Now we started with a sedan, but there is also a Wagon.
Design Huyndai I40 2015
A huge radiator grill is immediately striking, which emphasizes the corporate style of the brand. This is a huge mouth of a shark that will eagerly swallow any stream of air, at any speed. The hood and headlights are somewhat reminiscent of the Infiniti FX37, but there is also something of their own. For example, the side lights are LED-based. But xenon headlights are available only in the maximum configuration. The bumper also received major changes, although, as such, there is very little of it here.
In general, the appearance of the Hyundai i40 from the "muzzle" is very much like a fish, which is ready at any moment to turn away from the real trajectory without losing control and control over the road. The profile of the new Hyundai I40 in 2015 has practically remained the same, the changes have affected only the rims, as well as the front arches, which have become somewhat larger.
The back makes a good impression. Yes, undoubtedly, this is a spitting image of the last generation Nissan Almera, but LED optics, a spoiler on the trunk lid, as well as a bizarre, but at the same time, whimsical bumper shape emphasize the individuality of the model. The designers did not reinvent the wheel and combined chrome tailpipes with additional brake lights, which were replaced by reflectors in the base.
The 2015 Hyundai I40 Wagon makes a much stronger impression. It immediately seems that the car has risen to a class higher. Elongated lanterns, a wide spoiler, a chrome strip above the number: all this looks very expensive and emphasizes the size of the station wagon. By the way, despite the different body type, the dimensions of the model remain identical to those of the sedan. They are exactly the same as the previous generation.
So, the dimensions of the Hyundai I40 2015:
- Length - 4.74 m
- Width - 1.85 m
- Height - 1.47 m
- Ground clearance - 140 mm
- Wheelbase - 2.77 m
- Trunk volume - 503/555 liters
Interior Huyndai I40 2015
Inside, the buyer will receive true beauty, chic design and many wonders of technology. First of all, it is worth clarifying that the interior of the 2015 Hyundai I40 is highly dependent on the vehicle's equipment. For example, an audio system with 6 speakers and an MP-3 changer is installed in the base. If the equipment is the highest, then this place will be taken by the touchscreen multimedia display from Infiniti. It includes 6 speakers and a subwoofer, as well as a touchscreen display that will display information from parking sensors and a rear view camera.
The interior can be finished in black - fabric or leather, or beige leather, the color of which is called "beige". The front seats can be adjusted in 10 different directions, in addition, memory for two positions is available. Perforated leather allows you to install heated and ventilated seats, and the steering wheel is also heated.
The instrument cluster of the new generation Hyundai I40 looks the same as that of the past: these are two cylinders that, when the ignition is turned on, look like a Christmas tree. Despite this contrast, the shield is easy to read and does not cause fatigue. This is what the owners of the first generation say.
As an option, an on-board computer display is installed, on which you can get information such as the power reserve on the remaining fuel, instant consumption. On the steering wheel is already an established "vinaigrette" of the following functions: hands free, cruise control, radio control. In general, it would be somehow silly to consider separately each element of the Hyundai I40 interior. It is a monolithic "cocoon" from which you just don't want to get out.
The interior of the 2015 Hyundai i40 is visually divided into several parts. The first part is the instrument panel: the center console, which glows with all the colors of the rainbow, a huge instrument panel and not a small multimedia touchscreen display. All this is accentuated by a silvery wave, styled in brushed aluminum. On the central tunnel, you can pay attention to the already fashionable screen, which closes a niche for small things. It is worth clarifying that the ergonomics of the cabin are thought out to the smallest detail: there is not a single control body that would not be highlighted.
2015 Huyndai I40 Safety
A separate conversation is worthy of the security system, to be more precise, the passive one. Up to 9 airbags can be installed in the cabin. The knee cushion has become new, which is installed under the dashboard from the side of drivers and passengers. Curtains are placed along the entire length of the glazing line.
The roof frame and windshield pillars of the second generation Hyundai i40 are made of high-strength steel, which, to shape, has to be heated to 900 degrees. This technology can significantly reduce the risk of injury, even if the vehicle rolls over.
It is also worth noting the new design of the hood, which, in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, effectively dampens the force of the impact, thereby reducing the severity of human injuries. All this is complemented by a system of directional stability, which, in the event of a risk of skidding, slows down the unloaded wheels.
Specifications Hyundai I40 2015
In any configuration, all ventilated discs are installed on the car. Hyundai I40 2015 itself is manufactured on the same platform from Hyundai Sonata. The suspension is not even worth talking about - it is standard for sedans of this class. As for the power units, their lineup is quite wide, so let's look at gasoline engines, and then at diesel ones.
Under the hood of the basic configuration of the sedan Hyundai i40 is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four, producing 135 horsepower. To accelerate to a hundred, you need 11.5 seconds, but if you drive a hundred kilometers around the city, you will have to fill in at least 8.3 liters of gasoline in advance. The maximum speed does not reach 3 km / h to two hundred. If you buy such a complete set, then it will come exclusively with a 6-speed mechanics.
Next in the hierarchy is the 2-liter aspirated engine. It can be aggregated both with the same 6-speed mechanics and with a similar automatic transmission. The power of such a motor is 150 horsepower at 193 Nm of torque. This is enough to change the first hundred kilometers per hour in 10.4 seconds. The maximum speed is already exceeding two hundred, only by only 4 km / h. This result applies only to mechanics. On the machine, the 2015 Hyundai I40 sedan with a 2-liter engine accelerates to a maximum of 200 km / h. For a hundred, such a motor burns 10.4 liters in the city, 6 liters on the highway. Moreover, the indicators for automatic and manual transmissions practically do not differ.
In the top-end configuration, the buyer receives a diesel engine. He appeared in the line literally this summer, but has already become the subject of desire and adoration of the brand's fans. It has all the same 4 cylinders, but its volume is 1.7 liters. The manufacturer managed to remove 141 horsepower from them, and fuel consumption was reduced to 5.9 liters in the city. Despite the high cost of the equipment, the company believes that this version will be the best-selling one. Moreover, it will be equipped with a 7-speed robotic mechanics. While the first two engines comply with Euro 4 standards, this one was developed for Euro 5.
Acceleration to hundreds of diesel Hyundai I40 2015 takes no more than 10.3 seconds, and the speedometer needle will stop rising by 203 km / h, almost like a "mechanical" two-liter I40.
Prices and configurations Hyundai I40 2015
The basic configuration of the Hyundai I40 is called Comfort and will cost 994 thousand rubles (13,740 €). It includes a 1.6-liter engine, 9 airbags, air conditioning, trip computer, monochrome instrument panel display, an audio system with 6 speakers, active head restraints and many other little things.
The top-end equipment, as already mentioned, is aggregated only by a 1.7-liter diesel engine with a robot. Here the buyer will receive a keyless entry system, a start-stop system, a rear-view camera, parking sensors, adaptive lighting, glove box cooling, and more. The Hi-Fi system described above with a subwoofer is also available here, the driver can enjoy the electric adjustments and seat memory. For such a pleasure you will have to pay about 1 million 474 thousand rubles (20375 €).
