Hyundai I30 Tourer – Will We Get It?

Europe gets the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback and a Cruze wagon – and now Hyundai does too. The i30, also known as our 2013 Elantra GT, gets its own wagon version, dubbed the Tourer.

The exact same powerplants in the standard i30 will carry over (both gasoline and diesel options for Europe), but the big news here is cargo space. At 7 inches longer than the i30 hatchback, the wagon is 176.5 inches long, roughly the size of a Toyota Prius. We’ll see the i30 once it launches next week at the Geneva Auto Show.

    That looks like a very practical, enjoyable vehicle that would suit most American's needs to a tee. Of course we won't get it.

    I'm betting we will get it. Elantra coup was denied, Veloster Turbo was denied, i30 was denied. All are here/coming. The Elantra Touring is a much-loved, solid seller for Hyundai . They have nothing to lose by bringing this here too. I would wager it IS coming, and will be announced within 6 week's time.
