The new 2015 Hyundai i40 Tourer 1.7 CRDi has been designed and developed with three major goals in mind; comfort, quality and practicality.
On the outside
Hyundai have refreshed the bodywork with the uniquely shaped front-end; short swooping bonnet angled towards the hexagonal grille. The new headlights and LED fog lights catch your eye as they blend into the restyled bumper.
Around the side, two lines curving from the front wheel arch towards the rear adds plenty of character to the door panels. The rear of the car is smart and tidy with a new pair of taillights that extend round to the side and a matching hexagonal shape around the rear licence plate.
Under the bonnet
The engine package has received an upgrade in the form of a 1.7-litre diesel engine, the top-range version will give you an output of 139bhp and the standard will do 115bhp. You can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and an optional newly developed seven-speed dual clutch with steering paddle shifting.
A Hyundai i40 Tourer can be the perfect low tax company car as the efficiency upgrade, with a standard engine start-stop system, means that the car will only produce 114g/km of CO2 emissions.
On the Inside
On the dashboard you will see the new 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system surrounded by high quality, soft plastic functional buttons. The cabin overall has a more premium feel compared to competing models of this class.
If you are tech savvy, the Hyundai i40 Tourer has plenty of gadgets to explore including a new traction control system, DAB radio and optional Xenon directional headlights.
The interior of the Hyundai certainly defines comfort and practicality. The driver’s seat gives you a good, high driving position making even the longer journeys seem comfortable. The large cabin space has enough room to easily accommodate four tall adults plus a third passenger in the middle seat.
You’ll be spoilt for storage with lots of convenient compartments including generously sized glovebox, door bins and centre console units. The boot space in the i40 is a very practical 553 litres; ergonomically designed levers are provided to fold the rear seats with additional under-floor storage areas.
