Expected to launch sometime next year, the estate version of the new i30 will go up against other similar models on the European market, such as the Volkswagen Golf, Renault Megane, Ford Focus, and Opel/Vauxhall Astra.

It shouldn’t offer any surprises on top of the hatchback that was revealed in Paris, increasing its already generous boot capacity, and probably retaining the same pattern for the taillights and its roof spoiler, and a slightly tweaked rear bumper.

Inside, it will be identical to the all-new i30 and benefit from the same optional 8-inch display, Bluetooth, MyMusic functionality, premium audio system and rearview camera, depending on the version, joined by a long list of safety features, which include the Smart Cruise Control and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, among others.

Power will come from the same engine lineup that currently includes three petrol and three diesel units, ranging in output between 95 PS (94 HP) and 140 PS (138 HP).

The all-new Hyundai i30 family will also include a hot hatch derivative, which will add the ‘N’ suffix, and a crossover that will help the South Koreans meet up with the increased demand in this segment.
