New Hyundai i30 gets 5 Star Euro NCAP rating

New Hyundai i30 gets 5 Star Euro NCAP The new Hyundai i30 is back in the news with an impressive 5 Star Euro NCAP rating in the latest round of tests. The new Hyundai got off to a good start when VW’s boss complained it was too well made, and since then Hyundai has gone on to prove that point by letting a ‘Flange’ of Baboons loose on the new i30 without any significant harm – to baboons or the i30. Now the official word on the i3o’s quality – certainly in terms of safety – comes with the award of 5 Stars in the latest round of Euro NCAP testing, making the new i30 one of the safest cars in the C-segment.
