Looking fast while standing still is an attribute usually reserved for the quickest sports cars on the market. But thanks to Hyundai’s focus on dynamic performance, emotion and statement, the new i30 N captures this mantra with a whole new aggressive look for the front and rear bumpers, alongside the first application of high-performance eight-speed dual-clutch transmission on a Hyundai model in Europe. Releasing a series of low-lit images to show off the sporty new character of the hot hatchback, Hyundai has unveiled a design defined by performance. As the first Hyundai fitted with the company’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission in Europe, the i30 N will add dedicated N performance shifting functions to deliver improved acceleration and efficiency. According to Hyundai’s head of research and development, Albert Biermann, the wet-clutch transmission design increases lubrication and cooling capacity, allowing it to handle 290kW of power easily. Expected to rock the same turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine from the outgoing model, the lighter and angrier i30 N will gain some considerable improvements to its power. Coming off a 0–62mph time of 6.1 seconds, how much quicker will the new model be when you put your foot on the pedal. Especially with a set of newly-developed 19-inch forged alloy wheels, the new i30 shaves off those precious pounds for a lighter and faster vehicle. Lighting up the road using a pair of LED headlamps with V-shaped DRLs, along with some new rear lamps, the i30 N zooms past in one vibrant looking package. Slapping two massive exhaust pipes to the back of the car, Hyundai shows off the new level of grunt and performance, all within a compact package. Just like a quality hatchback should be.
Of course, an updated interior is more than likely on the cards. However, without further details from Hyundai, we can only assume a focus on infotainment and connectivity from the South Koran car manufacturer. Taking on the likes of the Ford Focus ST and the MK7 Volkswagen Golf R, the Hyundai i30 will join a class of high-performance hatchbacks packing even more performance into these versatile vehicles. With no release date yet set, we can only wonder how it will stack up against the competition. Find out more on hyundai.news
