Hyundai Discontinues i30 Wagon Due to Declining Demand

Hyundai has decided to discontinue the i30 Wagon, with no plans for a successor. The decision was made due to declining demand for wagons in favor of SUVs and crossovers. According to Hyundai Motor Europe's President and CEO, Xavier Martinet, the demand for wagons is no longer sufficient to justify continued production.

As a result, the i30 Wagon will be phased out, with no new models planned. This shift towards SUVs and crossovers may impact the automotive market as a whole. The discontinuation of the i30 Wagon is part of a broader industry trend, with many manufacturers adjusting their production lines in response to changing consumer preferences.

Hyundai's decision affects owners of the i30 Wagon, but other vehicle owners may also be indirectly impacted by the industry's shift towards SUVs and crossovers.
