Hyundai Motors, the Korean automobile giant has unveiled a new model, called the i30 Fastback. Derived out of the i30 hatchback, the Fastback will make it to it’s European launch soon with the rest of the world getting the vehicle withing a year. However, whether or not the Hyundai i30 Fastback will make it to its India launch remains to be seen. Nevertheless, talking about the vehicle, despite it’s compact dimensions, it comes with a rather attractive exterior profile. The front resembles quite a lot to the i30 hatchback. The entire aesthetic profile of the i30 Fastback is reminiscent of Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design philosophy, giving the car with bold character lines which run from the front of the car to the back of it.

The front grille of the Hyundai i30 Fastback is a tad lower in height in comparison to the i30 hatchback. Not only this, the air-intakes positioned on the bumper are significantly lower as well. The sweptback headlamps comes with LED DRLs and get a dark, blacked out treatment, providing the car with an attractive facia. Another prominent highlight of the i30 Fastback is that it gets roof-line which is 30mm lower than that of the hatchback, thereby increasing the car’s aerodynamic capabilities. To give the Fastback a bit more character, Hyundai has provided it with small boot-lid mounted spoiler.
