Some Hyundais have a reputation for poor clutches.
My wife had an i20 with less than 10k when we bought it, but the clutch often squealed and it never felt right - one of the many reasons we got rid PDQ.
This sounds like a worn not faulty clutch. I wholly agree that Hyundai and Kia are a bit weak on clutches (mostly oil contamination causing judder) as are Honda particularly on diesels but if it's slipping it's simply worn and that's 99% down to the driver.
From Hyundai warranty terms, exceptions and limited coverage (i.e. items not covered 5 years/100,000 miles).
Defects occurring as a result of “fair wear and tear”. “Fair wear and tear” is defined as deterioration occurring through usage and no defect of material or a manufacturing nature is evident.
These include but are not limited to:
Description
Warranty Coverage (Period)
Warranty Coverage (Mileage)
Clutch disc
24 Months
60,000 Miles
Brake Friction Linings
24 Months
20,000 Miles
The implication is that clutch discs are covered as above.
