Hyundai unveiled its next generation i30 at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show. The new i30 was designed and engineered at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and offers a choice of four engines with a total of six power options and {{CO2}} emissions below 100 g/km due to an upgraded 1.6-litre diesel unit. The next generation i30 went on sale in Europe early in 2012, as a five-door hatchback. It is produced in Europe at the company's manufacturing facility in Nošovice, Czech Republic.

It was launched in South Korea since October 20, 2011, and it is the second model under Hyundai's Premium Youth Lab brand. The new Korean spec i30 is offered with a 1.6-litre Gamma GDi engine and a 1.6L VGT diesel engine.

The second generation i30 became available in the United States in the summer of 2012 for the 2013 model year, as the Hyundai Elantra GT, replacing the Elantra Touring nameplate. It made a premiere at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, along with the new Hyundai Elantra Coupe,{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/08/2013-hyundai-elantra-gt-chicago-2012/|title=2013 Hyundai Elantra GT delivers lightness, functionality|website=Autoblog}} featuring the same 1.8-litre Nu MPI engine as the original Elantra MD sedan. In 2014, the 1.8L is replaced by the 2,0L Nu GDI engine, due to critics' opinions that the 1.8-litre wasn't sporty enough for the GT moniker. Available in a single trim level, the Elantra GT offered several different option packages which added additional features. A glass panoramic roof is available as an option.

In Malaysia, the second generation i30 was previewed during the 2013 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show and officially launched in March 2014.{{Cite web|date=2013-11-21|title=Hyundai i30 and Veloster Turbo previewed at KLIMS, launching in 2014|url=https://paultan.org/2013/11/21/hyundai-i30-veloster-turbo-preview-klims/|access-date=2019-03-03|website=Paul Tan's Automotive News|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|url=http://autoworld.com.my/news/2014/03/27/Second-generation-Hyundai-i30-launched-in-Malaysia/|title=Second-generation Hyundai i30 launched in Malaysia|last=Kon|date=2014-03-27|website=Autoworld.com.my|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-03}} For Malaysia, the i30 used a 1.8L engine and a torsion beam setup for the rear suspension.{{Cite web|url=https://paultan.org/2014/03/27/hyundai-i30-launch/|title=Hyundai i30 hatchback launched in Malaysia - RM128k-133k|date=2014-03-27|website=Paul Tan's Automotive News|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-03}}

An estate, or wagon, version of the second-generation i30 was premiered at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.{{cite web |url=http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/all-new-hyundai-i30-wagon-unveiled.html |title=All-New Hyundai i30 estate Unveiled Ahead of the Geneva Motor Show – Carscoop |access-date=2012-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120226034429/http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/all-new-hyundai-i30-wagon-unveiled.html |archive-date=2012-02-26 |url-status=dead }} This model is also known as the i30 Tourer in some markets.

The wagon shares the same wheelbase as the hatchback and adds 185 mm in length. The increased length yields an extra 150 litres of boot capacity, taking the total to 528 litres. With the rear seats folded, the total cargo capacity is 1,642 litres, an increase of 326 litres over the hatch.

(Excluding the i30 N-line and i30N models)

The Hyundai i30 Fastback replaced Elantra in EU markets where it was being sold until Autumn 2017, where it was being presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

In some markets, the third-generation Hyundai i30 Hatchback is sold as the Hyundai Elantra GT. In the U.S., the Elantra GT is available in two distinct models: Elantra GT and Elantra GT Sport.

The base Elantra GT is powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.0L inline four-cylinder (I4) engine that produces {{Convert|161|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,200 rpm, and {{Convert|150|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,700 rpm. This engine is shared with the standard Hyundai Elantra Sedan. The performance-oriented Elantra GT Sport, in addition to replacing the standard rear torsion-beam suspension with an independent suspension, is powered by a turbocharged 1.6L I4 engine that produces {{Convert|201|hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,000 rpm, and {{Convert|195|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 1,500-4,500 rpm. This engine is the same engine as equipped in the Kia Forte Hatchback SX Turbo and the Kia Soul Exclaim (!) Turbo. Transmission choices for the Elantra GT are a standard six-speed manual transmission, or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. Transmission choices for the Elantra GT Sport include a standard six-speed manual transmission, or an optional seven-speed Dual Clutch automatic (DCT) transmission. "Drive Mode Select" is standard on cars equipped with either the automatic transmission, or the Dual Clutch (DCT) automatic transmission.

According to the Car and Driver, the GT Sport fell "short of delivering the buttoned-down refinement found in the class leaders when attacking twisting tarmac" and its body leans more than they would like in turns, "the electrically assisted steering lacks the precision and feel of the Honda Civic Sport hatchback and the GTI".{{cite web|last1=Fink|first1=Greg|date=21 July 2017|title=2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15090341/2018-hyundai-elantra-gt-sport-first-drive-review/|access-date=19 August 2020|website=Car and Driver}}

For 2019, the Elantra GT Sport was replaced with the Elantra GT N-Line. The N-Line trim improves upon the Sport model with additional body welds, substantially stiffer springs, firmer engine and transmission mounts, a larger rear anti-roll bar, and revised damper tuning to reduce body lean and improve handling. The Elantra GT N-Line is similar to that of the i30 N-Line.{{cite web|last1=Huffman|first1=John|date=7 May 2020|title=2020 Elantra GT N-Line| url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a32395859/2020-hyundai-elantra-gt-n-line-manual-drive/|access-date=5 June 2023|website=Car and Driver}}

The Elantra GT was discontinued in the US and Canada after the 2020 model year.{{Cite news|title=Hyundai Elantra GT discontinued after 2020 model year|newspaper=Autoblog|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2020/08/10/hyundai-elantra-gt-hatchback-discontinued-in-us/}}{{cite web | url = https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/hyundai-is-saying-good-bye-to-the-elantra-gt-hatchback | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20250219133801/https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/hyundai-is-saying-good-bye-to-the-elantra-gt-hatchback | archive-date = 2025-02-19 | title = Hyundai is saying good-bye to the Elantra GT hatchback | first = Jil | last = McIntosh | work = Driving | publisher = Postmedia Network Inc. | date = 2020-08-14 }} Hyundai directed buyers to its Venue and Kona crossovers instead, as well as the updated Elantra sedan and Veloster.

The 1.0-litre T-GDi and 1.5-litre T-GDi engines are coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid technology.

In the United Kingdom three trim levels were available; the base SE Connect, the mid-line N Line trim adding a sporty look, and the top of the range Premium. The N Line is only available with the 1.5-litre T-GDi unit which produces 159PS through either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed DCT gearbox, whilst the SE Connect and Premium are only available with the 1.0-litre T-GDi engine.
