2017 HYUNDAI i30 Tourer 1.6L CRDi 6MT FWD (136 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The Hyundai i30 Tourer was built on the i30 platform and it was launched at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show for the European market. It also adopted the “cascading grille” design.

The compact-size station-wagon market in Europe was big with both individuals and companies looking for vehicles with a decent trunk space but short overall design. The price was also an important factor in the equation. In the compact segment, almost all car manufacturers had something to offer.

The Hyundai i30 Tourer, as it was named the Korean station-wagon, had the same design up to the B-pillars with the i30 hatchback. On the front fascia, it featured the same cascade grille design, already shared by other models from the company. In combination with the full-LED headlamps and the vertical LED daytime running lights, the i30 Tourer had a strong visual presence.

The i30 Wagon offered a spacious interior with a horizontal layout and free-floating screen for the infotainment system. The eight-inch touch screen featured connectivity with smartphones via Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and LIVE Services.

The i30 Tourer was a European car, designed in Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, produced in Nošovice, Czech Republic, and tested on the Nurburgring race track. It featured independent suspension in all four corners and rigid bodywork. It was available with an either automatic or manual transmission, but the latter was offered only as an option on specific engine configurations.
