Hyundai reveals i40 Tourer

Hyundai has released the full pricing and specification details of the new i40 Tourer. Set to go on sale in September, the new model is priced competitively from £18,395 and fits in insurance Group 12E-the lowest in its class. Designed to offer high levels of standard specification, the model also boasts the lowest ‘Benefit in Kind’ cost in its class to make it an attractive proposition for company car drivers and private buyers alike.

The Hyundai i40 Tourer will be available in three main trim levels (Active, Style and Premium) with the choice of three efficient engines, four power outputs and manual or automatic transmission. Hyundai’s Blue Drive technologies – incorporating Intelligent Stop & Go technology – are fitted as standard on all Active derivatives, and on the Style 1.7 CRDi 136PS Blue Drive model ensuring CO₂ emissions  of 119 g/km.

Standard features, which set the i40 apart from other competitor offerings, are 16” alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, leather steering wheel with audio controls, electric heated door mirrors with integrated LED indicators, electric front and rear windows and electric parking brake with automatic hold function.  Touch screen satellite navigation with rear view camera, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control and dual zone climate control are standard on the mid-point ‘Style’ range.  The Premium models benefit further from the addition of leather upholstery, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and supervision instrument cluster with LCD colour display as standard, plus the option of the Lane Departure Warning and Smart Parking Assist, heated leather steering wheel and ventilated front seats.

Designed and engineered at the company’s European R&D headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany, the Hyundai i40 Tourer will be joined by a four-door saloon later this year.  Prices for the saloon will be subject to a further announcement.

All Hyundai i40 models will be supported by Hyundai’s industry-best, fully transparent Five Year Triple Care assurance.  This package offers five-year unlimited warranty, five years of roadside assistance and five years of vehicle health checks.

Emission levels start from 113g/km and fuel economy is as high as 65.7mpg on a combined cycle.

Tony Whitehorn, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor UK says: “The all-new i40 Tourer is a stylish yet uncompromised addition to the medium family estate car market.  It offers exceptionally low CO₂ emissions and high fuel economy; an intuitive, spacious and contemporary interior package combined with an unparalleled level of standard equipment for its class – all at an accessible price.”

He continues: “The i40 is a sign of how far Hyundai has come in recent years, and truly embodies where the brand is going. We believe that it offers a unique, value for money, customer proposition in this highly competitive market segment.”
