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. Launched as a replacement for the Sonata, it competes with the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia, and Skoda Superb. Available in both saloon and versatile Touring estate variants, the i40 excels at motorway cruising with its comfortable ride, excellent refinement, and spacious cabin. A 2015 facelift brought refreshed styling, revised trim levels, updated engines, and a twin-clutch gearbox option. The model was withdrawn in 2019 as family car sales declined.

Most examples are powered by a smooth 1.7-litre turbodiesel engine in either 113bhp or 134bhp (later 139bhp) guises, delivering impressive fuel economy of up to 65.7mpg on manual models. Petrol options include a sluggish 1.6-litre and a more capable 2.0-litre GDi, though diesels are far more common. The i40 is calm and composed rather than thrilling, with accurate but lifeless steering and safe, predictable handling. All models come well-equipped with standard features, though the cabin feels utilitarian compared to rivals. Running costs are low, with affordable insurance and servicing from around £100.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a refined, comfortable family car for motorway driving, those wanting excellent value and low running costs, and families needing a spacious, practical vehicle.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising premium cabin quality, engaging driving dynamics, or strong residual values, or those uncomfortable with the utilitarian interior finish.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i40 if: You're seeking a refined, comfortable family car for motorway driving, want excellent value and low running costs, or need a spacious, practical vehicle on a budget.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium cabin quality, engaging driving dynamics, strong residual values, or prefer a more upmarket interior finish.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i40 (2011-2019) is an excellent value proposition in the family saloon segment, offering comfort, refinement, and practicality at a fraction of the cost of rivals. Whilst it lacks the driving engagement of a Ford Mondeo or the premium feel of a Mazda6, its affordability, spacious cabin, and low running costs make it an intelligent choice for budget-conscious buyers. The weak residual values that make it such a bargain to purchase will work against you at resale, but for those planning to keep the car long-term, it represents outstanding value for money.
