Retaining the characteristics that have made its hatchback sibling a European success - quality,
value, stylish design, efficiency and driving enjoyment - the Tourer adds greater load-carrying capability to the i30's package.
Orders of the New Generation i30 are already approaching 60,000 units just a few months after coming to market, making it Hyundai’s most popular car among European customers in 2012, ahead of the ix35 compact SUV. Hyundai expects the Tourer to boost i30 demand and account for around 30 per cent of the model line's total sales in Europe.
"The launch of the Tourer is the next phase of the New Generation i30’s introduction to Europe, following the very positive reception for the five-door. It not only brings greater choice for consumers but also is a testament to the quality and importance of the teams at our European design, engineering and manufacturing facilities," said Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe.
With a load capacity of 528-litres with the rear seats raised and 1,642-litres when the seats are folded, the New Generation i30 Tourer adds further practicality without compromising on style. The Tourer was developed alongside the hatchback from the outset, enabling designers to fashion a coherent form that bears a strong family resemblance inspired by Hyundai’s fluidic sculpture form language.
As it climbs the European sales charts, the New Generation i30 has received several notable accolades. Among these is a five-star rating from Euro NCAP in the organisation's test programme, including a 90 per cent score in the 'child occupant' assessment, with maximum points in the '18-month-old' and '3-year-old' tests.
