Over recent years Hyundai have made some massive head way into the Australian car Market. Their first big step was the Getz, which without doubt raised expectations in small cars, then came the multi award wining i30 mid sized hatch and wagon, plus the family option with the Imax – and business option with the ILoad. And more recently the IX35 which took SUV’s to a whole new level.
Today I look at the ‘all new’, extremely sophisticated and very elegant Hyundai i45 sedan. The i45 has been designed using Hyundai's unique “Fluidic Sculpture”, which gives the i45 a graceful and very athletic coupe like profile.
The sporty exterior of the i45 could suggest limited interior space, however, there is heaps of space and the finish is stunning. The drive is exactly what you would expect from a car that looks this good. Actually the i45 looks and feels so good, there is actually a certain sub conscious reward you get from just driving it.
The i45 comes in two versions, the Elite and the Premium. Both have all of Hyundai's cutting edge technologies, which work in unison to provide a sense of safety, style and satisfaction.
Hyundai have fitted the i45 with everything that you need to make driving it a pleasure. Including electric windows, cruise control, climate control air conditioning, mp3 cd stereo system, heated rear vision mirrors and high quality full leather trim.
The i45 is going to have you doubting your relationship with your current vehicle. And if you go with the Premium model, which comes with a full length electric sun roof, every day you drive it, you’ll be blown away!
The Premium comes with larger alloy wheels, lower profile tyres, a slightly beefier sound system and full electric front seats.
Both are powered by a four cylinder direct injection petrol. Giving you a very economical fuel consumption average of seven point nine litres per hundred k’s.
There has been no compromise on quality or style with the i45. It’s finish is as good to look at, as it is to touch. Which is why hyundai have given it a five year, unlimited kilometre warranty and ANCAP have given it a five star safety rating.
Hyundai’s new slogan “Driven by obsession!“, probably best sums up their new i45. Because without a degree of obsession, there is no way you could produce such a stunning vehicle.
