It looks alright, doesn"t it? This is the new Hyundai i30 Tourer, and while above all it"s an unashamedly sensible small Korean estate, they"ve managed to give it some pretty smart styling, too.Note the swoopy roofline and how much the window line drops away at the back. Squint (reasonably hard, admittedly) and there"s perhaps some Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake in the side profile.Inside the body, things are as functional as you"d expect. A total of 1,650 litres of boot space makes it one of the biggest cars in its class for shifting stuff about, as well as more commodious than the Ford Mondeo estate from the next class up. Impressive.You"ve a choice of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, but we suspect the pick of the range as ever with these things will be the 1.0-litre turbo petrol, with 118bhp and a keen little noise from its three cylinders. Minicabbers will no doubt default to the diesel, though, which is a 108bhp 1.6.
