The Hyundai i40 wagon that made its debut in Geneva earlier this year will have a sedan sibling very soon – the i40 saloon is set to make its world debut at the Barcelona Motor Show on May 12.
There’s only a single teaser image rendering of the vehicle, and though no specific details have been mentioned, the company states that the saloon will feature a low, elongated roof line that lends it a coupe-like silhouette, and its styling will keep with the dynamic design element as presented with the i40 estate.
The vehicle, like the estate version designed and engineered at Hyundai’s European R&D headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany, promises to be spacious inside, delivering best-in-class dimensions of 1025 mm (front headroom), 1455 mm (shoulder room) and 1170 mm (legroom).
As for the reason for a Spanish debut, the company says that the saloon market in Spain is a very strong one, accounting for almost 40% of the D-segment, so Barcelona is a logical choice for a reveal of such importance.

I always thought this is the wagon version of the Sonata. Now only i know it’s not, and it will have a sedan version. :s
i40 is for the europe market, a little different from the i45 (aka Sonata) for the US and rest of world.
Hyundai have over use the same “Looks”
Too much resemble 2011 Avante, Not much “Excitement”
Rim design like previous BMW 7 series sports
Where is Hyundai Avante in Malaysia? I had sat and enjoyed the Avante in South Korea. It a superb car. Saw in your web for JPJ testing but still no news when it will be available here. Now i40 sedan is out. Where the hack gone wrong with Kia dealer here? No fun!
