The new 2013 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.
2013 Hyundai i30 Wagon Interior and Exterior. The new Hyundai i30 Wagon benefits from an increased track. The bodyshell is 5mm wider, and the front and rear tracks have also been increased, moving the wheels and tyres outwards to become flush with the wheel arches – simultaneously tinggiening the car’s aesthetics and improving its road holding.
The visual impact of Hyundai i30 Wagon on the road is also raised by the inclusion of standard LED daytime running lights flanking the grille. The new model also bears Hyundai’s signature frontal feature – the hexagonal-shaped grille, with a choice of a single body coloured bar on Classic or twin chrome horizontal trim bars on Active, Style and Style Nav models.
Hyundai is renowned for offering value-for-money products and the 2013 Hyundai i30 Wagon is no different. The modern premium feel of the i30 is complimented by a long list of standard specification. Features like air conditioning, LED daytime running lights, Bluetooth® with voice recognition, front electric windows, multifunction steering wheel, retractable load cover, roof rails and USB and Aux connections are standard from entry-level Classic.
2013 Hyundai i30 Wagon Performance. The Hyundai i30 Wagon will be available in the UK with a choice of two engines: one petrol and one diesel.
The upgraded diesel engine – the highly-efficient 1.6-litre variable geometry turbo (VGT) ‘U-II’ unit – will be the most popular powertrain in the line-up. Generating 110PS at 4,000rpm and 260Nm from 1,900 rpm, the upgraded 1582cc engine will accelerate the Hyundai i30 Wagon from standstill to 62mph in 11.8 seconds, and go on to reach a top speed of 115mph – while emitting only 110g/km of CO2.
A higher-powered version of the same unit is available and develops 128PS at 4,000rpm with an identical torque figure of 260Nm from 1,900 rpm. The additional horsepower helps the Hyundai i30 Wagon accelerate from standstill to 62mph in 11.2 seconds and onto a top speed of 120mph. Emissions are 115g/km of CO2 while returning 64.2mpg on the combined cycle.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine offers an excellent balance between performance and economy and it capable of doing 0-62mph in 11.2 seconds and 42.8mpg on the combined cycle.
