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 rivals the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Skoda Superb. Available in both saloon and versatile Touring estate formats, 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 The car was withdrawn in 2019 as family car sales declined.

Most examples are powered by a smooth 1.7-litre turbodiesel in either 113bhp or 134bhp (later 139bhp) guises, delivering impressive fuel economy of up to 65.7mpg. Petrol options include a sluggish 1.6-litre and a smoother 2.0-litre, though these are less common. All models come well-equipped with air-con, Bluetooth and electric windows as standard. Later facelift cars add touchscreen sat-nav with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are low, with affordable insurance and servicing from around £100. Weak residual values make it exceptional value as a used purchase, though resale returns will be modest.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a refined, comfortable family car for motorway journeys, those wanting a spacious estate option, and drivers prioritising value for money and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking premium cabin quality comparable to a VW Passat or Mazda 6, those wanting engaging driving dynamics, or drivers requiring the most comfortable driving position.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i40 if: You're seeking a refined, comfortable family car for motorway journeys, want a spacious estate option, or prioritise value for money and low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You desire premium cabin quality, engaging driving dynamics, or the most comfortable driving position available.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai i40 (2011-2019) stands out as the best value proposition in this segment, with the highest percentage of good and great deals at 36.5%. Whilst the Ford Mondeo Mk4 offers superior driving dynamics and the Mazda 6 provides better cabin quality, the i40 delivers exceptional comfort and refinement at a significantly lower price point. Its spacious cabin, low running costs and generous standard equipment make it an intelligent choice for practical, budget-conscious buyers. The Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport, though newer, lacks the i40's value advantage and expert endorsement.
