The Hyundai i30 has been released in Europe as an Estate or station wagon.
However, Hyundai Motor Company Australia corporate communications manager Tiffanny Junee said it is not confirmed for Australia.
“We still need to evaluate it for the Australian market and at this stage no decision has been made,” she said.
“As far as we know today the i30 CW will not be coming out to Australia.”
The i30 Estate, pictured, is based on a stretched platform extended by 50mm and has more rear leg and headroom than the hatch, along with a bigger boot and a lower loading edge.
To differentiate it from the hatch, the front end has additional chrome highlighting and it comes with roofbars.
It also comes with the 1.6-litre petrol and 1.6-litre CRDi diesel powerplants from the hatchback.
Junee said 35 per cent of i30 sales are diesel. The i30 is selling about 800 a month and represents about 4 per cent of the small car market.
