Iconic Hyundai hatch receives mild hybrid treatment

Hyundai’s i30 range of vehicles have been elevated even further in 2024, with the manufacturer taking the hatchback to the next level by lifting elements of its high-performance N range and pairing them with an all-new mild hybrid powertrain to create a vehicle like never before.


The sporty little hatchback looks sleek and sophisticated with it’s N Line styling package and premium finish, with the new 1.5-litre configuration featuring a 117kW / 250Nm turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission putting power to the road through three drive modes to get the most out of the vehicle in Normal, Eco and Sport modes to meet your immediate driving needs.


The exterior of the i30 N Line is a perfect blend of style and performance, with the hatchback boasting 18-inch N Line alloy wheels to complement the pointed front and rear bumpers while glistening with elegance in it’s Shimmering Silver finish.


There are also a range of other colour options to showcase the sharp design of the i30, with Abyss Black, Ultimate Red, Shadow Grey, Sailing Blue, Cypress Green and Atlas White also popular choices.


Not only does the i30 N Line look the business, but it also handles and drives exceptionally well.


Open road driving is a breeze with the hatchback’s lower and more aero-dynamic body helping keep the vehicle planted firmly on the road surface at highway speeds, but around town the zippy and snappy handling is direct, which is further enhanced in Sport mode where the vehicle truly comes alive.


It truly is a fantastic all-rounder for those wanting a comfortable and stylish cruiser for going about regular driving duties with the option having a bit of spirited driving fun when the need arises.


But the goodness does not stop there, with the inside of the i30 N Line just as impressive.


Sporty leather and suede appointed seats and a leather ‘N’ steering wheel and gearknob continue the blend of elegance and performance, while a 10.25-inch full digital instrument cluster provides clear and precise readouts of everything you need to know with the vehicle’s engine and performance.


A high-resolution 8-inch touch-screen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is tucked neatly into the dashboard to control all your favourite auto tracks and tucked neatly below it is the i30’s dual-zone climate control system, putting everything in perfect place for your fingertips.


Enhancing the package even further are a wireless charger for smartphone devices, three USB-C ports for maximum juice to passenger’s devices, a smart key with push-button start and for those purchasing the N Line Premium – Hyundai’s Bluelink technology to monitor, communicate with and remotely operate some of the i30’s features right from your smartphone anywhere, any time.


As with all Hyundai’s safety is also paramount, with SmartSense technology featuring forward collision avoidance and lane keeping assistance, smart cruise control with stop and go technology, driver attention and forward collision warnings as well as high beam headlight assistance.


Each Hyundai i30 N Line is sold with a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty with lifetime service plans and premium roadside support packages available across the range.
