The Kia seems to engage quicker off the line, while the Hyundai is slower but perhaps smoother and more comfortable. We've run multiple tests on both, in similar conditions and trying out similar modes/take off methods. Both weigh about the same too.

@@AllFunAndJames hi James, how would you describe the feel of the steering. I love the steering wheel and the front feels well planted,.

I like the feel of the steering as it seems tuned to provide good road response. Is that your impression and experience as well ?

[@AllFunAndJames]

@@Ross58 yep that is exactly my experience with the steering - so much so, that when I first drove it I thought the lane centering assist was correcting my driving (despite having it disabled) Quite a bit of torque steer when giving it some from a stand still also.

That’s the same question I have, I hope they do a head to head. They’re relatively the same car with only minor interior differences. However it looks like the N-Line does 0 to 100 in the region of 7.6 secs which is sad, where this thing is a bullet for its class.

[@fearsomeclasher8215]

Username21 That’s interesting to know thanks! Cause I’m looking Into getting one of the cars, at speed they are nearly the same, but obviously having speed limits, I feel the take off is important. That’s one thing the N line is not good for hence why I think the Kia beats it. I’ve heard that the reason the time is a second slower is because of the launch between the cars, apparently the Hyundai doesn’t rev past 1.5K rpm in idle on sport mode, so when you put the foot down it kinda hesitates, I heard they did this to protect clutch and transmission wear. That’s purely from what I’ve heard. Whereas the Kia revs around 2000 if I’m not mistaken and doesn’t have that protection feature.

[@fearsomeclasher8215]

Username21 That is very quick, I’m very impressed by it, might just have to book test drives and see how they go. And yeah it’s pretty upsetting then about the launching issue, maybe they didn’t wanna make it to appealing like people going instead for stinger or N respectively. Thanks for your insight

@@forte1072 they state it at 6.2. is as mentioning what I was getting. With all season Michelin mxm tires ( which are not sporty and meant for everyday use and long tread life) and with jb4 on a mild tune on map2 I've managed a 5.85. With better tires like the pilot sport 4/4s I should be able to drop that a closer to 5.4-5.5. To sum it up I don't think they overstate, but it really depends on the tires that you test them with and learning how to get the right launch.

[@JulianKapa]

The 2019 i30 N Line downshifts from 4th to 2nd, skipping 3rd, but it's still slower (4.66 vs 4.22). Is that because the way you test has changed? In 2019 you accelerated from 60, here you accelerate from 56. So by the time it hits 60, it's already up high in the rev range and accelerating.

[@PDriveTV]

Fair enough. This part of the video is mainly to show you the kickdown response. We leave it in D or S mode on purpose so you can see how quickly it self-shifts back a gear and then accelerates. Some transmissions do this really quickly, and others delay. Keep in mind the Vbox tests are done separately (not filmed). So in terms of the actual 60-110km/h time, this likely excludes any delay as the timer won't start counting until 60km/h is passed. If that makes sense.

Lmao it’s a sport compact and on a good run wit the dct most get low 6s like 6.1-6.2 seconds and throw on a jb4 you can get mid 5s easy

Most new cars definitely do not perform the 0-100 sprint in the 6 second range, they would be lucky to do it in the 8 second range. I am somewhat expecting your comparisons to be vehicles in a different segment or at a significant price premium.
