I40 sedan model represents the evolution of Hyundai's design language feature, called "fluid sculpture."
DNA design "fluid sculpture, which uses lines inspired by nature to create a dynamic external image, presenting the concept was introduced with the Hyundai ix-onic, during the Geneva Motor Show 2009. Since its debut, "fluid sculpture" was the theme of inspiration for all Hyundai models, including ix35, ix20 or Veloster.
Keywords i40 design are characterizing the modern flow "and" premium wing, "both evolved from the concept of fluid sculpture. Hyundai's designers wanted to focus on creating a modern inspiration fluid volume, and more sophisticated, like some wings.
"We used very strong lines, fluid, from front to rear to provide distinctive exterior i40 model," said Thomas Burkle, Technical Officer of Hyundai Europe Design Center. "We wanted to remove the typical sedan design and manufacture a car closer to i40 wagon's sporty nature. Drawing a line low, prolonged the ceiling, I i40 sedan model offered a remarkable figure, similar to that of a coupe, "he added.
The i40 does not just enjoy an attractive design, but also a high level of interior comfort, with a wheelbase of 2.77 meters and offering the larger class D in terms of headroom (1025 mm), shoulder ( 1455 mm) and foot (1170 mm). Space impressive promises comfort to all passengers who spend long periods inside the i40, offering the most comfortable ride in a vehicle segment D.
Motors Engines
The new i40 will be available in four versions of Euro V engines: two petrol and two diesel. These engines covering a power range from 115 hp to 177 hp and offers a range torque than speed, making the i40 a car fun to drive both in city and outside it. i40 drive has both manual and automatic.
In a segment where the diesel models are over 75% of sales for Europe, Hyundai is expected that 1.7-liter engine that develops 136 hp, will be the most popular choice for both private buyers, as well as at acquisition fleets. Cumulative Hyundai predicts a ratio of 65% / 35% between diesel and gasoline for the i40 model.
The i40 will debut new 2-liter GDI engine Hyundai four-cylinder, called the "No ". It offers superior torque for even more driving pleasure, improved fuel consumption, low emissions and excellent NVH characteristics - like multi-point injection engine.
Equipped with GDI (direct fuel injection), the 1999 cc engine that generates 177 hp and 213 Nm, ensures a good balance between performance and fuel economy. A i40 sedan equipped with this motor and manual six-pack will accelerate to 100 km / h in just 9.7 seconds, will consume 6.8 gallons of gasoline combined cycle and will issue only 159 g / km of CO2.
"While outside i40 sedan model is distinguished by fluid and held commanding form, the interior has been designed to provide a practical and comfortable for the driver and passengers a high quality package," concluded Thomas Burkle.

When you join Blue Drive powertrain features 1.7-liter diesel that produces 115 horsepower, the results are impressive CO2 emissions of just 113g/km and fuel consumption of 4.3 l/100km, which are the most environmentally i40 vehicle in its class.
Hyundai has always expressed a desire to pave the way for the auto industry to sustainable environmental protection, and highlights the involvement of i40 which the company gives proof to offer vehicles located in the top class environmental performance.
Reduce NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness)
A new package has been developed for acoustic i40 models equipped with diesel engines. NVH levels, especially exterior noise level was improved significantly by using experimental approaches such as Reciprocal Holography (to see noise reduction at a certain frequency) and Adna (Advanced Diagnostic Network Algorithm) for the class of noise sources in order transfer pathways identified.
NVH package aims to provide a quiet and comfortable environment in which diesel vehicles to operate. The new package uses acoustic i40 air permeable material such as carpet, layers of acoustic insulation and textiles in the engine compartment on the inside wings, designed to absorb sound from the engine, exhaust and road, thus offering a 20% improvement in the level of internal noise and external noise reduction when the car is stationary (the figures compared with a test sample of i40 without these characteristics).

Safety
The i40 uses the latest active and passive safety technologies designed to provide maximum protection for passengers. Active safety features that are offered as standard in most countries, include ESP (electronic stability control), ABS (Anti-lock braking system wheel), Hill Start Assist Control (Assist system of slope), VSM (vehicle stability management system), Brake Assist System (Brake Assist System) and Emergency Stop Signal (starting emergency lights in case of emergency braking).
.
In terms of passive safety, the European i40 will each be equipped with up to nine airbags: front, side and curtain airbags as well as knee, available as standard.
