Took one of these for a test drive to replace my 2017 I30 SR and I found it underpowered compared to the 1.6T. I then test drove the i30N and fell in love so I spent the extra money and really glad I did.

I have an 2017 I30 SR Premium and see the current generation of I30's and fittings as not being all that different. I had a bird go through the plastic front grill on a highway. The front grill costs around $1,100 dollars to replace - seems a crazy price. I love the cooling seats and just occasionally use the heating of the seats during winter.

@@perpetualgrin5804 I looked for it at the time to no avail. I saw a feather under the grill some days later and the whole bird emerged through a small gap at the base of the grill. The bird didn’t do well. I did care about the fate of the bird but it was long deceased.

From my other comment: why did they drop the power?? Also given the nline is just as popular as the full N for mods, like intakes and tunes, seems like a d!ck move by Hyundai to try and make the nline hybrid. I’ve even seen a couple of full N owners criticising the decision of hybrid, as one of the N owners said that hybrid doesn’t seem right for the nline. The axe is well and truly coming, like Hyundai doesn’t understand that it’s not the masses who want the nline, it’s the tuning and modding community that are interested in the nline (aka “boy racers” and those who watch way too much fast and furious). The Tucson and the facelift 24 Kona are the only nline models that appeal to the masses

No spare full size wheel is a deal breaker in Australia. We have bad roads and many punctures. Its a pass for me.

What a massive backwards step. And for $15k - $20k more I got mine a Oct 17 built in May 2018. PD i30 SR (before they changed to the N-Line model name) Got it for $28k drive away with the much, much, much better 1.6lt T-GDi. Nothing of great note has been offered over the previous. I was around the 5.8 - 6.2 lts per 100km, so fuel efficiency really doesn't make up for change. I think people should do themselves a favour, bypass this & get a i20N for cheaper, better performance, better fuel economy.
@seegee7728Ай бұрын
Yep, basically the same interior and car as 2018 with smaller less powerful engine and 18k dearer. i20N is better value.
@DanielSchramm3 ай бұрын
If this had the same 1.6L turbo as the old one / i20N, would be great with the updated interior. As it is, the i20N is better for performance and price.

At least in Australia you still get 160hp from this 1.5T, in Slovenia the power has decresed even further, from 160 to 140hp. Even the regular N/A 1.5 which had 110hp now has 96, and you can now get it with the N-line package. Imagine an N-line with 96hp. And in that spec, if you pay cash, will set you back 35.500 Australlian dollars (21580€).

I recently paid $28,000 for a base model. The use of a DCT, euro spec high wear brakes and the massive price increase makes this a total non-starter. I predict this model will disappear given the poor value and the better options being offered by VW and Toyota.
