Er gehört ganz sicher zu den erfolgreichen Modellen das Hyundai-Konzerns. Und zu den zuverlässigen. Das erkennt man daran, dass Hyundai sein Garantiepaket für den i30 Kombi deutlich verbessert hat. Bis zu acht Jahren oder bis zu 160.000 Kilometer ist man abgesichert. Das ist ein klarer Vorteil für das Portemonnaie. Darum geht es diesmal!Seine Markteinführung erlebte der Hyundai i30 im Jahr 2007 als fünftürige Schräghecklimousine und als Kombi. Mittlerweile ist er in der dritten Generation auch auf unseren Straßen unterwegs. Bei seinem jüngsten Facelift bekam der i30 Kombi neue Design-Details. So wurden der Kühlergrill, der Stoßfängereinsatz unterhalb des Kennzeichens und die Einfassungen der Nebelscheinwerfer neugestaltet.Power und Drive! Wie bei den meisten Autos hat man die Qual der Wahl zwischen verschiedenen Antriebsaggregaten. Im Falle das i30 sind das als Einstiegsaggregat der 1.0 T-GDI mit 3-Zylinder-Ottomotor, Turboaufladung und Benzindirekteinspritzung und einer Leistungsausbeute von 74 kW (100 PS). Alternativ gibt es den 1.5 T-GDI 48-Volt-Hybrid. Hier sprechen wir über einen 4-Zylinder-Ottomotor mit Turboaufladung und Benzindirekteinspritzung, über 103 kW (140 PS) Leistung. Beide Motoren sind alternativ mit einem Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe und einem Siebengang-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (7-DCT) zu haben. Unser Testkandidat war der 1.5 T-GDI mit Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe. Der legt den Spurt von 0-100 km/h in 9,8 Sekunden hin, mit der Automatik dauert es eine Zehntelsekunde länger. In der Spitze sind Schaltgetriebe- und Automatikversion mit 197 km/h gleich schnell. Der Verbrauch pendelt sich kombiniert zwischen 5,9 und 6,7 Litern auf 100 Kilometer ein, die CO2-Emission kombiniert nach WLTP bei 133-152 g/km. Unser 1.5 T-GDI mit seinem 48-Volt-Hybridsystem wird durch einen Startergenerator bei jedem Beschleunigungsvorgang mit bis zu 12 kW Leistung unterstützt. Die dazu notwendigen Energiereserven liefert eine Lithium-Ionen-Speicherbatterie unter dem Gepäckraumboden. Die Kosten!Sie möchten nun natürlich wissen, was der Spaß Sie kostet. Nun, die Spanne liegt beim i30 Kombi aktuell zwischen 28.590, -- € für den 1.0 T-GDI mit Schaltgetriebe in der Advantage – Ausführung und 34.650,00 €. Für den letztgenannten Preis bekommt man den 1.5 T-GDI 48-Volt-Hybrid als N Line mit 7-Gang-DCT. Unser Testfahrzeug lag als Advantage mit Schaltgetriebe bei 30.990,00 €.

“You get to be who you are. I get to be who I am. And I can trust that in myself and know that there are a million ways to do it because there are a million different ways that we're all designed.” –Jackie JohnstoneSkeptical of Human Design? Think it's too woo? Certified Human Design for Business Consultant, Jackie Johnstone was too, even now, she says it could all be bullshit — but it can be useful too. If you're looking for decision making to feel easier, to get out of your own way, check out Human Design.When you first look at your chart, there are all these numbers and lines and shapes and colors. You want to know what they mean? And there's more information on the side. It's easy to get overwhelmed or get lost down a rabbit hole. We're here to talk about how to make it something that actually helps you.Jackie describes Human Design like an onion — you can learn and take it layer by layer. And start to implement it.We talk about: How understanding Human Design can help teams work better togetherOur bodies holding wisdom to help guide us to the right decisionThe different ways we feel or sense what we wantExperimenting with decision makingDifferent variables that can affect how you “trust yourself”Using Human Design in marketing and business decisionsABOUT JACKIEJackie is a certified Human Design for Business Consultant, Subconscious Transformation Coach and Breathwork Facilitator (and classic Manifesting Generator who can't pick just one!).

Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:START WITH YOUR CHART. Start by getting your chart. It may look overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it all out at once. Pick one layer of the onion to start with, maybe your type, maybe your authority. And remember, you can focus on you — you don't have to learn all the types or all the kinds of authority.EXPERIMENT WITH DECISION MAKING. Once you know a little about your Authority, or the way you make decisions, experiment with it. Notice when you rely on logic instead of how you feel. Notice what happens when you approach decisions in different ways.START WITH HOW YOU FEEL. In the FLOW system, we start with how...

Rolling resistance, durability and overall comfort all play a huge role in tire design, but these characteristics are under a bright-hot spotlight in the context of electric vehicle tires. That's why Nokian Tyres recently revealed its "Electric Fit" symbol to showcase to customers that these attributes have been given special attention in select tires. The company uses a combination of factors, including tire compound, tread pattern and silencing technologies to optimize EV tire performance."Many of these characteristics are ones that we have been developing for the European tire [market] for a long time already, and many of these topics are actually such that they also happen to match with the requirements for EV cars," says Marko Saari, head of product management at Nokian Tyres. "As a result of that, we have gained quite a long experience on getting all these different characteristics taken into account, and we can tap into this expertise when we are developing the tires."On this episode of What's Treading with Tire Review, we pick Marko's brain about the challenges of designing tires for electric vehicles, learn about how the European automotive market is influencing U.S. EV tires, get an understanding of the technology needed to eliminate noises in the cabin, and even delve into the company's commitment to sustainability.

Icons can also be functional in that they help make certain elements stand out from an otherwise huge sea of text, but they are still seen as "fluff". I've asked for another designer to be hired, or request our graphic designer to create icons when he has time, but these suggestions didn't get any support. How would you make a case for icons when they are seen as mere decoration?Feather IconsIconic IconsBootstrap IconsAnt IconsMaterial Design IconsIcons ToolboxIcon SizesCool Things:Brian shared the Opal C1, a professional webcam that claims DSLR-quality images in a $300 chassis.
