2017 Hyundai i30 Tourer first view

For plenty of car buyers, trying to impress the neighbours isn’t a priority. They just want something practical that can transport them, their families and their stuff with as little fuss as possible.

Hyundai’s new i30 Tourer should meet those requirements perfectly. This nondescript C-segment estate, which is being manufactured in the Czech Republic, is going to have its public debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

Measuring 4,585 mm (15’ 1”) from bumper to bumper, the Tourer is 245 mm (10”) longer than the recently-revealed five-door hatchback version. Luggage capacities are 602 litres with the rear seats upright and 1,650 litres with them folded down.

Customers will be faced with a choice of three turbocharged engines: a 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS) 1.0 litre three-cylinder petrol, a 138 bhp (103 kW / 140 PS) 1.4 litre four-cylinder petrol or a 108 bhp (81 kW / 110 PS) 1.6 litre four-cylinder diesel.

For now, there’s no word on prices.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
