Hyundai has revealed UK prices and specs for the new i30 Tourer, confirming that the new compact estate will start from £17,495 when it goes on sale early next month.

The estate version of the i30 is 245mm longer than the hatchback, but it shares the same wheelbase, so all the extra length is given over to the boot. It gets Hyundai’s latest front grille and a tapering roofline, while full LED headlights and LED daytime running lights add some flair to the design.

The larger rear overhang creates a 602-litre boot in five-seat mode, and 1,650 litres with them folded down. Both of these capacities are behind the class-leading Peugeot 308 SW, though, which offers 660 litres and 1,775 litres respectively.

In terms of engines, Hyundai has confirmed three options – two petrols and a diesel, all three of which are turbocharged. The entry-level petrol powerplant is the firm's 1.0 T-GDi three-cylinder turbo producing 118bhp, which sits below a larger 1.4-litre four-cylinder turbo with 138bhp. Diesel customers are offered a 1.6 CRDi unit good for 109bhp.
