The Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line is a sporty take on the small sedan formula. And, hallelujah, it comes with a manual gearbox!
The sporty N Line variant has now joined the Hyundai i30 Sedan range - and it's an excellent execution. Fun to drive, good value for money, and well-equipped.
Although it misses out on a facelift for now, Hyundai's i30 N Line receives new tech. Let's explore what's new.
Hyundai’s hatchback is a pleasant surprise – even if you opt for the cheaper choice.
The 2021 Hyundai i30 Sedan proved that affordable small sedans don’t have to be boring, blending practicality and space with edgy styling. Now we get to spend some time with the sporty variant – the 2021 Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line.
There’s more to the strategy behind the 2021 Hyundai i30 sedan than simply a name change from the outgoing Elantra. It needs to be remembered, too, that the Elantra was a solid car in a segment that has waned a little of late, but shows signs of gaining momentum over the next few years.
The Hyundai i30N hot hatch has had a facelift. Behind the new nose is a more powerful engine and, for the first time, the option of an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Can the latest Focus hero defeat Hyundai's brilliant hot hatch? NOTE: We're aware of the '553Nm' slip. As epic as that would be, the i30 N of course offers 353Nm of torque. ...
The Scala is Skoda’s biggest play in the small-car segment yet. But how does it stack up against one of Australia’s most popular models?
Still fancy a sedan? Here are two of the best going head-to-head.
The world of the humble small sedan has become a little more broad-ranging of late. Traditional three-box small cars have grown, and buyers have moved away from medium sedans, thus somehow creating a new, melded category. Hatch versus sedan arguments have raged for decades, but there’s no denying the neat and almost elegant lines of the saloon option, particularly as manufacturers have turned to designs that inject a level of style and intrigue into the segment...

The 2022 Hyundai i30 Sedan N has been officially unveiled, ahead of its Australian launch in the fourth quarter of 2021 (October to December inclusive). The fettled i30 Sedan becomes the fourth performance car in an onslaught of Hyundai N models to reach local shores, following the facelifted i30 N hatch now on sale in Australia, the Kona N small SUV due around September, and the i20 N city-sized hot hatch expected in local Hyundai showrooms around October...

The 2022 Hyundai i30 Sedan N has been spied undisguised during a photo shoot, ahead of its full reveal in the coming weeks, and an Australian launch in late 2021. Images posted by the Korean Car Blog (via Hyundai Clube Portugal) show Hyundai's new high-performance i30 Sedan free of camouflage, finished in Hyundai N's signature Performance Blue paint, contrasted with red accents and black styling features...
Moving headlong into the depths of middle age, my initial idea was to buy a sleek, phallic-nosed sports car, a later model Nissan 350Z being the main candidate. Then I saw an article about the Hyundai i30 N, a car I'd heard about but on which I didn't know much. It had won an award for best affordable sports car two years running so I figured there must be something to it...
Let’s get the i30 sedan’s styling out of the way first - yes it’s polarising and the haters will say it’s already come pre-dented, but I think it’s nowhere near as hideous and unresolved as the Honda Civic hatch, which to my eyes resembles an arthritic Transformer stuck crouched in mid-transformation and unable to get up...
A well-thought-out vehicle. It was originally purchased to fit three child seats across the back. It has a wide body and has the same specs internally to the ix35. Used as a tow vehicle for holidays, it has towed a loaded 7x4 trailer with no problems. Don't be afraid to give it throttle and use the revs. The engine doesn't use much more fuel...
After a four-month-long search, and basically test driving all the cars in this segment, I decided to put the money down on the i30 SR. It just ticked all the boxes for me: fun to drive, comfortable, affordable, latest tech and reliable. For the past year it has proven to be a joyous experience without any complaints, which is rare for me...
