Hyundai has unveiled the i30 CW wagon at the Frankfurt Motor Show line-up, which offers the practicality of a conventional wagon, but also adds flexibility and style.
The new Hyundai wagon is 4 475 mm long and 1 775 mm wide, ensuring sufficient interior space. The luggage capacity can be altered according to the number of passengers. With all the seats in place, the luggage capacity stands at 415 dm3. This can go up to 1 395 dm3 when the seats are not in place.
A choice of two petrol and three diesel engines are available and can be mated with manual or automatic transmissions. The entry-level model is the all-aluminium Gamma 1.6-litre that has an output of 91 kW and 154 Nm of torque. The top-of-the-range 2.0-litre Beta II engine will power the flagship i30 CW model. It delivers 106 kW with 186 Nm. At the top of the diesel range is the 2.0-litre CRDi. It has an output of 104 kW, with a maximum torque of 304 Nm.
The MacPherson strut front suspensions and multi-link rear suspension are available on all five models and they also come with ventilated 15-inch front and solid 14-inch rear brake disc, and a range of 15-, 16-inch steel and 15-, 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels.
It is not certain whether or not this new wagon will be made available in South Africa, but we sure hope it does enter the showrooms next year.
