Hyundai has announced specifications and trim levels for its i40 Tourer, which goes on sale in Europe in the third quarter of this year. The wagon will be available in three main trim levels – Active, Style and Premium – with three engine choices offering four power outputs and manual and automatic transmission options.
The three engines are the 135 PS 1.6 GDi and 177 PS 2.0 GDi petrol, and 115 PS and 136 PS versions of the 1.7 CRDi diesel. Blue Drive tech – incorporating Intelligent Stop & Go technology – are fitted as standard on all Active derivatives and on the Style 1.7 CRDi Blue Drive model.
Standard features include 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, leather steering wheel with audio controls, electric heated door mirrors with integrated LED indicators and an electric parking brake with an automatic hold function.
Moving on to the Style trim level, touchscreen satellite navigation (with rear view camera), front and rear parking sensors, cruise control and dual zone climate control come as standard fitment.
Meanwhile, the Premium range gets leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and supervision instrument cluster with LCD colour display as standard, plus Lane Departure Warning and Smart Parking Assist, a heated leather steering wheel and ventilated front seats as optional items.
The estate will be joined in the market by the sedan version, which made its debut at the Barcelona Motor Show last month, before the year is out.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
one word FUGLY!
Don’t agree. This is good looking car. Lately, new Hyundais seems to turn heads. I know beauty is subjective but i think you maybe have a weird taste. e.g maybe you find Vios is best looking car in the world.
You must be kidding me.
This is the most beautiful MPV-like-wagon that surpass any other family car out there.
Then again, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
I might settle for this babe instead if it ever landed on the shore of Malaysia!
I had 2 Korean car before, and now I will never get another Korean car again, it is a JUNK at best.
I guess your eyes are on ‘lutut’.
I always like wagon……and this is by far one of the best and proportionate design, i like it
looks great!!! europeans memang like wagon type!
boleh lawan caldina..
Now that’s a really nice looking estate,what more with the top notch range of powerful GDI petrol engines and diesels,and also not forgetting the unrivalled specs that come standard or with options,i believe Hyundai have got a winner here.An ace effort.
Cheers.
I absolutely agreed with you, Kumar san! Hyundai has been releasing wave after waves of sexy looking cars with up to date specs and technology. Reading this thread alone is enough to make me green with envy because we won’t be so lucky as it won’t be offerred here. I particularly like the sedan version. Sonata is nice but only comes with petrol version.
Yeah. I think its nice.
Not a car i would buy, but still, im sure there is a market for this.
I think this is one of the best looking estate in the market…
caldina rival!!
both will be smoked by Volvo V60 R-Design T6 340 horsepower I-6 turbo

power ain’t everything tsk tsk tsk
I do hope the diesel estate makes it here. damn nice looking. Reminds me of the C5 tourer
Agree with wolfsburg.
It’s sexy~~~~~~ =D
haiyo… this wagon is sooo sweet
Eventhough it’s one of the best looking estate, I don’t think it will do well if it sells here..
Many european prefers hatch/estate whereas in Malaysia this type get low demand compared to sedan..
Yeap, thats why its specifically developed for European mkt
Thats what u think. Plenty of wagons around. I see a many air treks, caldinas. First gen rio wagon and the evergreen AD Resort.
The Wish, and the other compact mpvs like the grand livina, alza and the like are just wagons with 2jump seats in the boot.
I’d say bring it here.
The AD Resort’s quality was epic, owned one since year 1993, still running strong now, other than some wear and tear, the car still looked brand new!
damn nice estate…
Looking good ! :)
Hyundai’s designs are getting a lot more nicer… That is one sexy wagon…
Caldina ahbeng can go fly kite!
The front reminds me of a praying mantis….. , its a pity europe gets all the fancy cars….
Sooner or later it’s gonna be something like the TV, you may be getting a Samsung/LG instead of Sony/Panasonic…
Unfortunately, the cheapest Korean car is still consider expensive in M’sia…
Samsung/LG make screens and other components for the Japanese brands so most of us are already using rebranded Samsung/LG. :-)
I don’t know why but I find this wagon very good looking. Not boring/plain looking like some other wagons.
i’m lovin it!
it looks and design much better than caldina..look elegance and stylish..hyundai was brilliant to go with this product..
I’m sure, for malaysian market for what ever reason, this i will be downgraded and has higher price tag. shame on all of us.
1. less equiped
2. lesser feature
3. Lesser Vendor quality, and
4. you name it
Prefer sedan type… better looking car compared to jap..
Hyundai visibility in the World is going to be like Proton in M’sia.
We’ll be seeing a lot of Hyundai cars in the US/Europe, etc…
It’s something like we are seeing a lot of Proton in M’sia…
even in aussie as well u can see a lot of hyundai..
but the ubiquitous obviously due to their quality and design improvement right…?
not like they’re having not much alternate options like us
nice, eye catching design…
177hp i40 tourer vs 256hp Caldina GT-T. :-)
Caldina GT-T zerotohundred 7 seconds.
i40 can balik kampung tanam kobis buat kimchi.
Maybe Nirwana & Nilai Memorial can consider i40 as their fleet if it sell in here.
Audi RS4 wagon 0-100 in 4 sec something.
So your caldina can go home tanam sushi.
Grow up lah my friend.
What are you? 5 years old?
is caldina gt-t turbo or NA….if turbo not fair la to compare…
question…why hate korean car so much….???
or are u jealous or something…???
256hp. Quite sure its the turbo one.DOnt think any 2 liter car can produce 256hp without a turbo. Even S2000’s 2liter around 240hp “only” .
He is comparing sushi and kimchi.
Apples and oranges for those english educated ones out there.
Let me tell you something, Jolo. What these people are comparing is solely on the design of the i40, which reminds them of a streamlined, better looking Caldina, rather than the engines. What sort of rubbish have you been bloody thinking about it? Why the negative comments in every post involving a Korean car?
Seriously, quit bashing you pathetic, lifeless keyboard warrior. We’re here to talk cars, not to listen to your same old rhetoric about Korean cars. Want to fight back with your postings? Well, go ahead. I’m ready to smack your comments into a pulp, and so does fellow commentators at Paul Tan, who are more than happy to fire their ammo until you’ve finally given up.
Haha.
Welcome to the club!!!
Agreed David and Turbo man.Mr.Jolo just pulled his head out of his ass..no brownie points for guessing as to why he talks shit like a backwater retard everytime he opens his mouth..
Cheers my mates.
Hello…this is for euro mkt…where the main/best selling is the Ford Mondeo Tourer/Skoda tourer….Caldina is not even sold in Euro (not for european taste)….one more, toyoda need to put a D4D diesel in the Caldina first to sell in europe
fark lawa giler sial..
Design done right!
Design memang cantik
If only Proton is like Hyundai/KIA….
Audi RS4 is 4.2 liter V8, Caldina & i40 is both 2 liter.
U can’t tanam Sushi u can only eat it.
Just in case 3 years old kid like u don’t know.
Just took an Avante n enlarged it, typical copy n paste Korean design, see one see them all.
Dead Boring…
Well. u didnt say anything abt cc wor.
OK. wanna talk cc. Lets talk. Caldina turbo. This one non turbo.
How to compare? Compare sushi and kimchi ah?
( looks like i have to talk to u using your method, then only u can understand. Apparently reasoning doesnt work for u )
this guy has the best joke of the year, lol, apparently theres a multiplier effect when u have turbo, like the skyline 2.6 gtr is rated to be equilavent to a 4.0 litre engine, so u have to at least multply by 1.5! LOL
so in theory the caldina is equilavent to a 3.0 N/A engine, of course it will be faster than the hyundai but slower than the audi, lol.
Why didn’t that dumbass compare to the Caldina NA.Compare a turbo to a non-turbo.If compare both NA,sure the i40 will be neck to neck with Caldina.Maybe the i40 will win.
ya , so it is the same as a Toyota Vios , shrink it you will get a Yaris right ? Typical japanese design , copy and paste as well ….damm boring
that’s what we call design language or design cue or design element la mate…
caldina is so yesteryears anyway laaa… japanese makes felt soo boring these days too =P
Nice looking wagon, it is right up there with the Euros. I love wagons! It is a pity that there are so few wagon in Malaysia.
Yeah over here people have a negative mindset of wagons, to them, “oh, might as well buy a cheesy SUV, it’s larger, have bigger bootspace” but when do you really went off road with it? useless….Wagon is much more practical, if you go to Holland, everywhere you see is Volvo V70, they like that car so much so they can carry goods anywhere with ease..!
One more thing, the kereta mayat stigma, I’d rather drive a wagon than a pussy Myvi
its absolutely sexy! bringing fluidic sculpture to the MAX…!
Euro Accord Wagon & Toyota Avensis Wagon R.I.P……
hayun
Phenomenal! Looks like Hyundai is moving forward on their design :)
U should compare kimbab with sushi (opps ! another one of korean copycat item! )
My comment is a retali
ation to those “ini boleh lawan caldina” & “caldina can fly kite” comments.
U 2 upin & ipin do not need to play balderdash here.
Please prove it by showing some pictures that the i40 is a copy cat. You don’t like korean cars you can move your ass out of this blog and go on with you japanese cars blog.
What if I say vw GTI can beat the shit out of the caldina??? We don’t compare like that, you are simply ignorant. Maybe you’ll say, of course GTI beat caldina cause is european cars, then what if I say a turbo charged satria neo cps can kick your caldina GT ass kau kau. So, does this mean that proton satria neo is much better compare to caldina GT???
Please, performance is not everything for a car, the interior design, exterior design, safety features, engine, fuel efficiency, handling and a whole lot more to see whether that is a good car, if you simply base on performance, then I can simply say that, go buy a proton saga and put a big big turbo charger or super charger in it and it can beat the shit out of a lot of other cars on the street.
You simply don’t have any point here but just to make people hate you or maybe you just want attention from other people right here? If that is your reason, then you really are a pathetic person.
Good one mate.
Well, i have seen a turbo-ed satria that does 0-100 in 4.4 sec on the G-tech accelerometer. Obviously the engine and gearbox is not stock.
Amazing stuff. I won take corners on that thing though.
Jolo is way too emotional. perhaps his wife have affair with korean guys out there?
I think he got dump by some Korean hot babes, haha
Maybe Sukasuki is a Wedlock child of a Korean.
Jojo – no point boasting about your Caldina 256HP behind the monitor. Lets meet at the upcoming HPC track day at Sepang; i’ll bring either my Mini JCW or Civic Type-R (both < 256hp & the Mini is 1.6 only, so you'll have an advantage). Can let you leave the pit first, fair? If not, then, pls respect the community here.
The Caldina gearbox can tahan or not? :-)
Why community ? Korean Lackey Club ?
U can keep your 1:32 scale type r & mini & play with yr neigbour kid.
Don’t play play Jolo, I think CK is KLC VIP member.
I like the Japs and I like the Koreans, but i have no idea what the m’sians are doing..
Don’t get your point. Please explain. People will just bash you if you comment something that don’t have a point.
U jolo or jojo?
I wanted to taruh, but when i saw the name, i was like “wait a minute”.
what is KLC..?
Korean Lackey Club.
Jojo – Waiting for you and your 256HP Caldina @ SIC on 12 June. Track session from 9 am to 1 pm, see you there. BUT if for whatever reason, you decided to chicken out, its OK, I’m anticipating it coz you either have no freaking balls or don’t even own a Caldina & will continue to hide behind the keyboard & monitor. LOL!
this is nicer than Caldina or any other cars…….
R-class went haywire!
Sime-Darby, bring 1.7CRDi and mated it with the right price to heads on with the Japanese model (no equivalent model for diesel) though reconditioned Caldina Japanese wannabe love to compare with their ride and they’ll envy with their second hand car but priced above RM120k.
Diesel is how Korean can shield their product to make them do a Samsung-way. Offer decent product with good engine with decent MPG like typical diesel and Japanese will be another victim.
Go diesel and sensible pricing Sime-Darby. An i30 pricing is not works here. A sub-2.0 diesel for local to enjoy high mileage motoring in one full tank.
Great job, Hyundai!
Look for the official video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0kHXqBbPY&NR=1
Great job! Hyundai.
Look at the very impressive Official Video here :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0kHXqBbPY&NR=1
Like the 1.6 GDi variant but wonders what’s its power-to-weight ratio. A grown-up sporty hatch. Cool.
Guys this car just like Pikachu(Japan) but UGLY version. Nowadays some Malaysian easily got brainwash by saying ugly car turn into BEAUTIFUgLLY! Caldina or Stream that is a real car!
lol… is that a joke???
Anyway, that is your personal preference. I don’t blame you because most of the people here like this car no matter what you say.
now im a family man with 1 baby n using vios, but i would upgrade to this wagon if it landed here. i really dont mind sell off my vios for this wagon.
the rear looks like an impreza ver 10
This car looks awesome n great…
when is the hyundai elantra launching la? so long weh
nice car….
Sometimes feel that the next cheapest car in the World is gonna be VW vs Hyundai.
I don’t understand why VW is priced so high in M’sia.
vw car price in malaysia can consider value for money as they’ve already trying their best to adjust the price to suit most people. Please bear in mind that our G is having a very high import duty to all import cars, sometimes we can’t just blame those distributors here (I mean some of them, I know the fact that most of them are having very high margin).
So, what can we do about it? Work harder, earn more and then we’ll have the opportunity of getting better car. We deserve better… lol.
peformance is not everything.. besides..like soem said here…any old car thats been modified extensively will peform..sometimes beat supercars…i dunno if u guys have seen this…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-5Roj0O36o
this is a main stream wagon that is designed as a long distance tourer and the power is there to be drivable and enjyoyable…. fact of the matter is….the cycle of dominance is spinning towards the koreans for the time being..as in every aspect…somehow everyone has a turn to be on top and i reckon they will be or very near it by the time this decade ends….
This is just an awesome car! No doubt about the performance and quality compared to Caldina and Stream. Its just like comparing Obama with Osama,
When will this car come malaysia?
If yes, sure I’ll buy it.
