New Hyundai Elantra Wagon to be based off i30 CW

Hyundai FD Wagon 1

The Hyundai i30 Wagon will be arriving on US shores soon as the Hyundai Elantra wagon, and will be equipped with a sportier suspension setup. The Hyundai i30 Wagon / Hyundai Elantra Wagon will come with a 138 horsepower 2.0 liter inline-4 engine, mated with a 5-speed manual as standard but with the option of a 4-speed auto.

“We want people who are looking for something sporty with good space but don’t want a small SUV. They still want the car look. This car is important in the entry-level segment,” said Wayne Killen, director of product planning for Hyundai Motor America.

    Way to go hyundai… Flood them with your car. Then maybe 4-5 years down the road this engine can come here as half cut to replace our P1 engines.

    wahlaueh…

    The engine spec doesn’t look good. 2.0 litre with only 138PS. Perdana has better figure (~150ps) than this.
    From the sideview, it looks not bad at all. hehe…Paul, more photos please…

    As usual, Backed by America’s best warranty of 10 years. Estate/Station Wagon/Touring is back in trend and good move that they jump onto the bandwagon (or should I say station wagon). We only get to dream on having this model coming in. Even the overdue Santa Fe is only being sneak previewed at the moment.

    Funny, when I read 138ps I thought the engine’s a 1.6l, but lo and behold, 2.0!? Weird looking rims too, but the car is definitely good looking, better than anything Kia has to offer for the moment.

    FYI. Hyundai has been in the US market for the past 20 years already.
