The all new i30 Estate is aimed at the family and leisure motorist who doesn’t want the compromises of an MPV, the i30 Estate boasts more rear leg and headroom than the i30 hatch, along with a bigger boot and a lower loading edge.
The i30 estate is based on the hatches platform and extended by 50mm, and as a result is a more flexible, family-friendly package. With prices starting from £12,995, the new i30 also beats the opposition for value and equipment.
The i30 also features a number of design features that mark it apart from the hatch. The front end has additional chrome highlighting, while the standard roofbars are as attractive as they are useful. The estate also features door mirrors that incorporate the side repeater lights, a feature unique in the sector. For added security they are also electrically fold in.
Like the i30 hatch, it’s exceptionally well appointed and boasts a host of standard features that would normally feature on the option lists of rival cars. Air conditioning, ESP and an auxiliary USB/iPod connection are all standard across the range as is Hyundai’s unique Five-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
Customers will be able to choose between three engine and transmission options when the estate hits showrooms on 2 April. Both the 1.6 litre petrol and 1.6 litre CRDi diesel powerplants already feature in the hatchback range, while the 1.6 litre petrol will be available with an optional automatic transmission.
