All new Hyundai i30 Estate
For some car makers, creating an estate involves little more than grafting a boxy back end onto a hatchback and hoping for the best. The all-new Hyundai i30 Estate is based on a stretched platform extended by 50mm, and as a result is a more flexible, family-friendly package.
Aimed at the family and leisure motorist who doesn’t want the compromises of an MPV, the Hyundai i30 Estate boasts more rear leg and headroom than the hatch, along with a bigger boot and a lower loading edge.
But it’s not just the i30 Estate’s practicality that makes everything else in the sector look a little underwhelming. 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.
