The i40 Tourer is available with either an all-new 2.0 litre ‘Nu’ direct-injection engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT), or an all-new 1.7 litre ‘U2’ engine featuring smart common rail turbo Diesel technology delivers outstanding fuel economy and low emissions without compromising power and driving pleasure:

6 speed manual and automatic (with sequential shift mode) deliver smooth shifts and greater efficiency. Automatic transmissions feature steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters which add a tactile feel to your drive by enabling fingertip up and downshifting for even greater control and a sportier driving feel.

The electric park brake eliminates the need for a parking brake lever or pedal. The Auto Hold function, when activated, automatically holds the vehicle stationary (no time limit) after the brake is applied, allowing the driver to take their foot off the brake. The vehicle is held stationary until the driver sets off again.

The Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) features an anti-roll back feature, which prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards for up to two seconds on hills.

For drivers who demand maximum driving pleasure, Hyundai offers a six-speed manual transmission, with the Active model demonstrating important gains in fuel economy.

The i40 Tourer features a new MacPherson strut front suspension setup which significantly reduces cornering lean and improves overall handling. A multi-link rear suspension setup is used for its outstanding ride characteristics.
Amplitude Selective Dampers (ASD) are standard across all trim levels on the i40. These suspension dampers provide a smooth comfortable ride under cruising conditions, whilst providing superior vehicle dynamics under demanding driving conditions.
Extensive local tuning of the suspension setup has been carried out to optimise the suspension for Australian conditions.

The i40 makes use of the new Cornering Brake Control (CBC) system, which provides side-to-side brake pressure proportioning using EBD, resulting in optimised vehicle deceleration and stability whilst braking into a turn.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) enhances safety under emergency braking situations by preventing the i40 Tourer’s brakes from locking up. It also distributes brake-force according to the vehicle’s load. In an emergency manoeuvre, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the i40 Tourer on track, while Hyundai’s Traction Control System (TCS) monitors grip and reduces wheel spin to assist safe acceleration on slippery or uneven road surfaces.

The state-of-the-art Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle by applying counter-steering assistance to guide the vehicle back into the correct steering direction. This innovative safety technology helps the i40 Tourer maintain the correct steering position in instances where the driver reacts too slowly or tries to steer in the incorrect direction while trying to maintain vehicle control. Hill-Start Assist Control prevents roll-back for as long as 2 seconds after the brake is applied on an incline.

When the Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system on the i40 Tourer senses emergency braking, it automatically flashes the rear brake lights 3 times and activates the hazard lights until the vehicle starts moving again, providing a warning to any surrounding traffic.

In the event of an impact, the i40 Tourer provides comprehensive protection for all occupants by deploying up to nine airbags. These include driver and front passenger airbags, two side curtain airbags, four thorax airbags (for all outboard seating positions), plus a new airbag that offers protection to the driver’s knees in the event of a serious frontal collision. Please note: parents are advised to ensure children do not rest their heads where the side (thorax) airbags are placed. This could result in injury in the event of an accident.

The i40 Tourer features 3x child seat anchor points providing flexibility of child seat location to enable the utilisation of the 60/40 split fold seats. All i40s have a ‘panic button’ function on the remote key which is clearly marked in red. When the driver presses and holds the red panic “horn” symbol the horn will sound. For the safety of pedestrians, the i40 Tourer adopted various anti-injury designs at its development stages. The vehicle’s frontal structures are optimised to prevent potential head and leg injuries of pedestrians.

The Elite and Premium models come with rear park assist, whereby body-coloured sensors mounted on the front and rear bumper enhance safety while reversing by sounding an audible alarm when an obstacle is detected.

The Premium model features a sophisticated optional adaptive front lighting system, which uses a pivoting mechanism linked to the steering direction to bend the headlamps when driving through a curve and provide greater illumination. When you are reversing, a camera built into the i40 Tourer tailgate displays the area behind the vehicle on an LCD screen that’s integrated into the rear-view mirror.
