The passion of performance.
Enhanced with a variety of features to improve both everyday and high-performance driving situations, the i30 N is truly a racetrack-capable everyday sports car – created for those who still feel the passion for driving.
Performance
Blistering performance taken to the next level.
The i30 N racetrack-capable hot hatch has been built with lightweight materials resulting in more agility and enhanced handling. The refined suspension and steering systems deliver smooth handling performance for both transmissions. High-performance driving features and the latest smart tech are also on board.
Choose from two transmissions.
When it comes to making fast, smooth and efficient shifts, you have two performance enhancing choices. The standard smooth-shifting 6-speed close-ratio manual or the quick-shifting wet-type 8-speed dual clutch transmission (N DCT), which also lets you select gears manually with the shift lever or the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters for more race car feeling in everyday life.
-
N DCT motorsport layout.
When you feel like taking control and using the gear lever to shift, you’ll love the motorsport shifting logic born of our TCR racing experience: to downshift, push forward, and to upshift, pull back. -
Fast shifts at your fingertips.
The racing-inspired paddle shifters put fast, effortless gear changes at your fingertips. And because they’re mounted on the steering wheel, you can shift more efficiently when cornering. -
N Grin Shift – push for max power.
Sure to bring a grin to your face – unleash full N performance for 20 seconds with a single button. Enjoy max. torque and acceleration, max. exhaust sound and a push feel when upshifting. -
N Power Shift.
Enhanced driving thrills with “push feel” when upshifting. Engages at acceleration with more than 90 percent throttle, mitigating any reduction in torque by using upshifts to deliver maximum power to the wheels. -
N Track Sense Shift.
Senses how you're driving and activates when it knows you're driving on a track. It then selects the right gear for optimal performance so you can focus on steering – just like a professional race car driver.
N Grin Control System.
Enjoy more smiles per mile – At the push of a button, the N Grin Control System gives you the choice of five distinct drive modes to match your mood. The different modes change the character of the car, adjusting the parameters of the engine, suspension, steering, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), exhaust sound, N Corner Carving Differential (e-LSD), transmission.
-
Eco mode.
Eco mode is geared towards efficiency. Rev-matching is turned off and engine response and exhaust sound are toned down to a reduced level. Each mode creates a new feeling by altering the operating parameters of the throttle response, suspension stiffness, stability control, N Corner Carving Differential, steering, rev-matching, and exhaust sound.
-
Normal mode.
In Normal mode, powertrain, exhaust sound and chassis settings are at a comfortable level for daily commuting. Each mode creates a new feeling by altering the operating parameters of the engine throttle response, suspension stiffness, stability control, N Corner Carving Differential, steering weight, rev-matching intensity, and exhaust sound.
-
Sport mode.
Sport mode enables even more dynamic driving – you’ll really feel the performance with engine response, suspension dampers and exhaust sound dialled up for sporty driving. Each mode alters the operating parameters of the throttle response, suspension stiffness, stability control, N Corner Carving Differential, steering, rev-matching, and exhaust sound.
-
N mode.
The N mode will put the biggest grin on your face. Press the N button on the steering wheel and every powertrain and chassis settings are set to their highest performance levels. Engine response, steering, exhaust sound, rev-matching and the dampers of the electronically controlled suspension are at the most dynamic. Enjoy.
-
N Custom mode.
Feel like creating your own race set up? No problem. N Custom modes give you the freedom to individually customise your different driving modes. Fine-tune all powertrain and chassis settings: engine response, rev-matching, N Corner Carving Differential, exhaust sound, electronically controlled suspension, electronic stability control and steering.
-
N Traction and Stability Control.
Like a good co-pilot, it helps when needed, but is otherwise quiet, never disturbing your driving fun. It can be switched off completely for maximum racetrack feeling. -
N Corner carving differential.
Engineered by Hyundai to provide a unique carving feeling through even the most challenging corners, this differential maintains maximum fun and stability when braking, entering and exiting corners. -
Active variable exhaust system.
Pump up the volume. Select different levels of exhaust sound – relatively restrained in Normal mode, to the crackling “after-burn” growl in N mode with added fuel detonations, like a rally car.
