I am a long time owner (12 years) of a Hyundai i40 estate. The vehicle has travelled 173,000 miles since new and I cannot fault it in any department. I am now looking for a younger i40 as I have been so impressed with the vehicle. It has been the most reliable and safe vehicle I have owned in the last 12 years.

Hyundai i40 (2011-2019) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Relaxing to drive on the motorway | Utilitarian cabin finish |
| Roomy cabin | Driving position could be more comfortable |
| Affordable to buy and run | Not as good to drive as a Ford Mondeo |
Quick Summary
The Hyundai i40 (2011-2019) is an overlooked family saloon and estate that offers exceptional value for money. Intended as a rival to the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Skoda Superb, it debuted in 2011 and received a subtle facelift in 2015 with refreshed styling, revised trim levels, updated engines and a new twin-clutch gearbox option. Available as a practical Touring estate or traditional saloon, the i40 combines Korean reliability and affordability with genuine practicality and comfort, making it an excellent choice for savvy used buyers.
The i40 excels on motorways, where its comfortable ride, excellent refinement and spacious cabin truly shine. Most examples are powered by a smooth 1.7-litre turbodiesel engine, available in 113bhp, 134bhp or 139bhp outputs, delivering impressive fuel economy of up to 65.7mpg on manual versions. All models come generously equipped with air conditioning, Bluetooth, electric windows and parking sensors as standard. Whilst the cabin finish is utilitarian and the driving experience is more relaxing cruiser than sports saloon, the i40 represents outstanding value with low running costs and affordable insurance premiums.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, comfortable and refined family car, motorway commuters, and those prioritising practicality and value over driving dynamics.
Not ideal for: Drivers wanting premium cabin quality, engaging handling, or those seeking a car with strong residual values.

| Vauxhall Insignia | 3/5 | 5.0/5 | 20.4% | 4.1/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the i40 if: You're seeking a spacious, comfortable and refined family car, you're a motorway commuter, or you prioritise practicality and value over driving dynamics.
Consider alternatives if: You want premium cabin quality, engaging handling, or require a car with strong residual values.
Competitive Position: The Hyundai i40 (2011-2019) stands out as the best value proposition in the family saloon segment, with the highest percentage of good and great deals available. Whilst the Ford Mondeo Mk4 offers slightly better driving dynamics and the Mazda6 provides a more engaging experience, the i40 delivers superior affordability and practicality. The Vauxhall Insignia, though highly rated by users, offers fewer deals and weaker value. For budget-conscious buyers prioritising comfort, space and reliability over driving thrills, the i40 is an outstanding choice that delivers genuine family motoring at supermini prices.
