Hyundai first unveiled a hatchback/wagon version of its Elantra for the 2009 model year, called the Elantra Touring. In Europe, the Elantra Touring is sold under the Hyundai i30 CW nameplate.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Mazda 3 hatchback, the Elantra Touring is a lower-cost alternative to many of its competitors in the compact car segment, but slots higher than the standard Elantra.

The Elantra Touring also features connectivity for iPods and other electronic devices.

Power for the wagon is sourced from Hyundai 's 2.0-liter four-cylinder, making 138 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent through either a five-speed manual transmission of a four-speed automatic.

Fuel economy is rated at 23 miles per gallon city regardless of transmission choice, but opting for the automatic will drop highway mileage from 31 to 30 mpg.

Although the Elantra Touring is fairly new in North America, Hyundai expects the Elantra Touring to compete with the Dodge Caliber, Mazda3 five-door and Toyota Matrix .

Hyundai Motor America says that the Elantra Touring will have the most cargo capacity in its class. It'll be powered by the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder that powers the rest of the Elantra range.

The Elantra Touring comes in two trim levels, base GLS, or range-topping SE.

GLS includes standard features such as a air conditioning, rear heater ducts, cabin air filter, tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry with alarm, 172-watt MP3-ready stereo, Ipod and USB ports, XM Satellite Radio and three free months of XM satellite radio.

Stepping up to the SE will add to that list: telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, leather seating surfaces and illuminated front vanity mirrors.

Safety features include active head restraints, four-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), a traction control system (TCS), an energy absorbing steering column, six airbags and ABS.
