These instructions apply to the Hyundai i40 Mk1 (VF) 2011-2019.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
Full specifications for the Hyundai i40 (VF, the car’s only generation, 2011–2019), laid out by engine. The columns cover the 1.6 GDI and 2.0 GDI petrols and the 1.7 CRDi diesel — the Saloon and Tourer share these figures. Data is drawn from the Hyundai owner’s manual, manufacturer figures and workshop data; confirm anything critical against your own car’s papers.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Owner's manual · Workshop data. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit. † A safety-critical figure (wheel-nut torque, spark-plug gap or A/C refrigerant) is shown only when an OEM manual or factory service manual confirms it — otherwise it is withheld; always use the official figures for your car.
A dash (—) means we haven’t yet verified that figure for that variant, not that it doesn’t exist. A variant that isn’t listed was either not sold in this market or isn’t sourced yet. Each column shows that market’s own figures on its own test standard — we don’t convert economy or emissions between markets.
