Hyundai i30 Tourer unveiled at Geneva

Hyundai has launched the new estate Tourer body for the latest i30 at the Geneva Motor Show.

“Designed, developed, tested and manufactured in Europe, the New Generation Hyundai i30 is Hyundai Motor’s DNA car in Europe,” says Thomas A. Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe. “The i30 is more than just a model – it is a family of cars, consisting of four body types with unique characters united by a coherent, timeless design. With the new i30 Tourer we are now introducing the next body type, offering elegance and versatility for everyone.”

“The New Generation i30 Tourer speaks the language of the i30 family in terms of design, and it carries the new Hyundai family identity – the Cascading Grille,” explains Thomas Bürkle, Chief Designer at Hyundai Design Centre Europe. “The tapering roofline and the dynamic proportions give the Tourer an almost coupé-like silhouette. The sleek and dynamic profile is further emphasised by a rich chrome frame surrounding the side windows.”

Hyundai says the i30 Tourer’s sleek design doesn’t compromise boot space: with 602 litres of space (VDA 211) and 1,650 litres (VDA 214) with the seats folded, it is claimed to have one of the biggest boots in the segment. There is additional storage space beneath the boot floor with several compartments.

The powertrain line-up of the i30 Tourer consists of downsized turbocharged engines. Customers can choose from two petrol engines and one 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine with 108 bhp.

Designed in Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, produced in Nošovice, Czech Republic, and tested on the Nürburgring, the third generation i30 family is built on the infrastructure that Hyundai Motor has developed over the last 25 years in Europe. It follows the two previous generations of i30, which have sold more than 800,000 cars in Europe since 2008.
