Plenty of ‘monkeying’ around with the new Hyundai i30

How can you put the new i30 through its paces to ensure it’s fit for your little monkey’s…….let actual monkey’s run riot in it of course! No it’s not a late April’s fool, a troop of Baboons at Knowsley Safari Park were actually left to their own devices for 10 hours in a brand new i30 to give it the ultimate durability test. Hyundai i30 Product Manager Felicity Wood said: "At Hyundai we believe in new thinking which is why we decided to take a new approach with this durability test. The fact that it survived with only a few scrapes is testament to the way a modern Hyundai is designed and engineered.”

David Ross who is General Manager at Knowsley Safari Park said: “For a baboon to have a car to play with for a whole day is manna from heaven! If you put them on any car they will scour it for the weak points and find any faults. At one point there were 40 monkeys in the car, pushing it to its limits - that’s ten times the size of the average human family.”

To thank the monkeys for their time and effort Hyundai donated £1,000 to the Primate Society of Great Britain.

Hyundai really do give a monkeys about building tough cars!
