Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
Like the rest of the i30 range the Tourer benefits from a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, which few rivals can match. The ownership package also includes five years of free annual ‘check-ups’ and five years of breakdown cover.
Unfortunately, despite the Tourer’s engines being comparatively small, they’re not exactly the most advanced units, so they’re not quite as efficient as the class best. Fuel economy and CO2 emissions for the 1.4 turbo petrol fall short of rivals’ equivalent units. The 1.0-litre petrol is fractionally cleaner, but it’s the 1.6 diesel that proves to be the most competitive amongst its peers in these respects.
