Hyundai i30 Tourer safety features are many and varied. Expected to achieve a five-star EuroNCAP rating in crash testing, the new estate features active safety systems such as ESP, a stability management system, ABS, emergency brake assist, hill-start assist and emergency stop signal – which flashes the hazard lights when an emergency stop is detected.

There’s also six airbags as standard.

The Hyundai i30 Tourer practicality is – somewhat predictably – better than the hatchback. The boot capacity is 528 litres, expanding to a theoretical maximum of 1,642 litres when the rear seats are folded down. There’s enough room for four adults to be seated comfortably, while the interior contains adequate cubbies and cup holders.
