Hyundai unveiled its new i30 CW (Cross Wagon) at the 2008 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney, alongside an array of 2009 Hyundai models now going on sale.
The i30 CW is based on the i30 hatch but offers greater luggage capacity and a slightly longer wheelbase, contained within attractive new external styling.
Those awaiting new offerings from Hyundai can see the light at the end of the tunnel with the cessation of industrial action in Korea bringing the export market back to normal. Hyundai Motor Company Australia has announced a back log of orders will be hitting Australian shores later this month.
The production interruption which has affected several countries including Australia has been ongoing since 40,000 workers at Hyundai Motor Company walked off the job in June as labour unrest escalated in South Korea. The ships due late October carrying the much-awaited cars will include a shipment of the i30 and iLoad van range.
Economy driving: Hyundai i30
“Will petrol ever dethrone diesel in the economy stakes?”
By Karl Peskett
We’ve done diesel versus petrol a few times before. In most cases diesel seems to come out on top. We all know that diesel is generally more economical, and that according to the Australian Government’s Green Vehicle Guide, it’s better for the environment, too. Somehow, though, it’s been ingrained into the Australian psyche that petrol is the way to go. Most passenger cars bought, are still run on unleaded petrol.
It doesn’t smell as much, it costs less per tank when you fill up, and the engines run smoother and quieter than the oil-burning equivalents. Possibly years of watching noisy, dirty trucks roll past, billowing plumes of black smoke hasn’t helped the matter. So if you’re going to stick with petrol, then you’re going to want to eke every last drop out of it.
Hyundai’s latest generation of cars have been given the highest praise by the motoring world. The i-series is set for expansion with the release of the i10 shortly as well as the car we have pictured here, the VW Polo-rival, likely to be called the i20.
Expected to go on sale overseas sometime next year, the i20 will replace the ageing Hyundai Getz which has been on the market since 2002.
One of our many spy photographers recently arrived at this top-secret testing area at 3am in the morning, he told us his aim was to get some sleep till around 7am and wait for the cars to show up, but instead, he caught the very first pictures of Hyundai’s all-new 2010 6-passenger Portico crossover.
First shown as a 2005 concept in Chicago, Hyundai is hoping its R-Class-like crossover will fill all the niches where Mercedes and Chrysler’s Pacifica failed.
Hyundai has released full details of its new 2009 Tucson range which now offers a host of details improvements and enhanced value across the range.
ESP stability program, traction control and an integrated Bluetooth audio system now feature as standard throughout the Tucson range.
The driving force behind any cult car is aftermarket support - Hyundai knows this and has invited 20 tuners from all fields in the US to scrutinise its new Genesis Coupe.
Hyundai called the exercise its official SEMA measuring session, allowing aftermarket companies to gain a head start on performance boosting bolt-on’s before its official debut.

Hyundai is set to launch a new sub-brand in Australia and around the world labelled i-Blue which will help customers identify ultra-low emissions vehicles in its range.
It will be comprised of models in the Hyundai range which fall below the 120g/100km emissions barrier, with the new i30 CRDi hatchback the first to join its ranks.
Determined to be a leader in car audio and communication technology, Hyundai are again leading the way with the first car audio system to offer Bluetooth wireless music streaming capabilities.
Having introduced such firsts as MP3 capability in all models by early 2004 then iPod, MP3 and USB memory stick connectivity with the i30 range this year, the big Korean throws down the gauntlet for others to play catch up.
