2013 Hyundai i30 Wagon

Following in the footsteps of the award-winning new Hyundai i30 Hatchback launched in March 2012, the i30 Wagon is the fifth new model that Hyundai has launched in the UK in 2012. Like the hatchback, the Tourer offers customers a stylish design combined with exceptional levels of comfort, refinement and efficiency with the additional benefit of increased luggage space.

The Wagon adds greater load-carrying capability to the new generation i30's overall package, measuring 185mm longer than its hatchback sibling and offering 150 litres of additional luggage space with the seats up and 326 litres with the seats down. Load space is amongst the best in the class, with the all-new i30 boasting a larger luggage capacity than the majority of its key C-segment rivals.

In addition, the Hyundai i30 Wagon has a greater luggage capacity than some D-segment estates with 528-litres available with seats up. With the seats folded fully flat this increases to 1,642 litres and for added convenience there are underfloor storage compartments too, adding to the Hyundai i30 Wagon's versatile nature.

The flowing lines of the exterior, incorporating Hyundai's Fluidic Sculpture design language, make the Wagon stand out from the traditional and boxy estates. It boasts a sleek and sporty profile yet cleverly conceals a spacious interior.

Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO, Hyundai Motor UK, says: "The New Generation i30 Wagon will help grow Hyundai's presence in the C-segment. The Hyundai i30 Wagon is able to meet the demands of both retail and fleet customers as it offers space and versatility along with a range of clean and fuel efficient engines. Running costs are also substantially lower, not only compared with the outgoing i30 Estate, but with key competitors too. Owners benefit from improvements to fuel economy and emissions plus VED and Benefit in Kind and some of the lowest insurance ratings in class."

There is a choice of two engines in the range with customers able to choose either the 120PS petrol unit or alternatively the 1.6 CRDi diesel unit, in the form of a 110PS or a higher-powered 128PS variant. Both engines are coupled to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Versus the outgoing Comfort 1.6 CRDi 115PS i30 Estate, the Hyundai i30 Wagon Active 1.6 CRDi 110PS Blue Drive is 12 per cent more fuel efficient than its predecessor - returning 67.3mpg on the combined cycle - while emitting 11 per cent less CO2 at 110g/km.

The versatile Tourer is expected to account for 15 per cent of New Generation i30 sales in the UK and provides both retail and fleet customers with a high-quality, stylish and efficient all-rounder.

Similar to the five-door hatchback, the Hyundai i30 Wagon was designed and engineered at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany, with production at Hyundai's manufacturing facility in Nošovice, Czech Republic.

Pricing and specification for the Hyundai i30 Wagon with the entry level 1.6-litre 120PS Classic is available from £16,195 OTR, while Active trim starts at £17,295 OTR moving up to Style and range-topping Style Nav trims, which start from £20,095 OTR and £21,095 OTR respectively.

The Hyundai i30 Wagon has been created from start to finish to provide customers with a stylish, efficient, spacious and safe estate. It is manufactured using Hyundai steel and robots to ensure maximum quality throughout and the belief in the product translates into one of the industry's leading vehicle warranty - the 5 Year Triple Care assurance package.

Whitehorn adds: "Like all new Hyundai passenger cars, the New Generation Hyundai i30 Wagon is backed by our renowned 5 Year Triple Care Package. This means owners benefit from exceptional aftersales back-up and total peace of mind as it includes a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, five years vehicle healthchecks and five years free roadside assistance."
