Hyundai i30 N

The Hyundai i30 N is the high-performance version of the third-generation (PD) i30 compact hatchback and the first model of the Hyundai N brand. Hyundai unveiled it in Germany on 13 July 2017 and began European sales, and it is not sold in South Korea because it is built in Europe. It uses a Theta II turbo GDi 2.0 litre engine rated at 250 PS, or 275 PS with the performance package, and at first only a six-speed manual gearbox with a dual final-gear design. Features include rev matching, an overboost function, launch control and, with the performance package, an N Corner Carving electronic limited-slip differential, variable exhaust, electronic suspension and 345 mm front brakes. Launch control gives 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, or 6.1 seconds with the package. More than 28,000 were sold in Europe and more than 54,000 worldwide, and the facelifted car added an eight-speed dual-clutch option in 2021.
