2025 I30 NLine facelift 1.0 Turbo. Side by side comparison to previous model.

[@christophersinclair6155]

Thanks Brian for another great presentation

[@doolanbrian]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@seanhayes4693]

Great as always with the videos Brian. best of luck on 242 sale 😊

[@doolanbrian]

You are the man, appreciate you watching as always Sean !!!

I love the bumper on the red i30. In Slovenia, if you got the N-line, you were automatically upgraded to LED lights in the front and rear, thus loosing the cool turn signals below. I would love to buy this spec bumper and put it on my i30 Style.

[@doolanbrian]

@@Denis-tm5js I agree I quite like the previous gen bumper with the big turn signals ! Thanks for watching 🙂👋

[@ΝικόλαοςΣτέφανοςΚαμπανάς]

Great comparison. One small question. In the previous facelift the reverse camera was under the badge. Now is placed on the bumper. Does that make the camera more “breakage sensitive”if someone hits your bumper (even in minor touches like in parking)?

[@doolanbrian]

It’s a fair point ! So In Theory you are correct 👍

[@gregmooney7363]

Hi Brian, can you get the i30 in tourer model, much more practical than the hatch IMO. Also any option of speccing a bigger engine in petrol like the 1.6 in the Kona Regards Greg

[@doolanbrian]

Unfortunately, not in Ireland, but in Europe, yes, they get tourer and they get mild hybrid 1.5 Turbo 🙂

[@michaelforristal5224]

Great comparison again Brian…..new model is very stylish. Quick question - is the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto wireless?

[@doolanbrian]

Thanks Michael ! I believe so but I’ll confirm next week for you 🫡

[@andromedawind]

Is the red color Engine red or Fiery Red? Looks great!

[@doolanbrian]

@@andromedawind thanks for watching this one is called engine red!

[@frankcraig6264]

Is there any ambient lighting in the inside

[@doolanbrian]

@@frankcraig6264 in Ireland, we don’t have it as an option unfortunately

[@frankcraig6264]

@doolanbrian Thanks for reply Brian. Looking into the 2025 model was just checking on that. Nice car in fairness

[@doolanbrian]

@ the seats are really awesome, I think all you can do is go to test drive one and see what do you think🙂👍

[@brenyboi2030]

do you know what the bhp is going to be for 2025 n line EU models?

[@doolanbrian]

@@brenyboi2030 in ireland the 1.0 should remain 120 BHP , I think the 1.5 MHEV in Europe will be 160 BHP 👍

[@brenyboi2030]

Will the 1.5 MHEV be available in the UK too?

[@doolanbrian]

@@brenyboi2030 unfortunately I’m not sure as I’m based in Ireland so the United Kingdom usually have different specifications to us so it’s possible but you’d have to ask a UK based dealer🙂👍

[@ramadolman6735]

What’s the Litres per KM fuel efficiency for the new n line?

[@doolanbrian]

Normal real world mixed driving is circa 6.0/6.5 l/100 km on this 1.0 T GDi 🙂👍

[@ramadolman6735]

That’s great, might as well get this over the hybrid? I know the hybrid has a turbo also? but isn’t that slower

[@doolanbrian]

@@ramadolman6735 don’t get that version of mild hybrid in Ireland , I think it is a 1.5 so I reckon it has more power!

[@stefanomacchi1977]

They need to do a full-hybrid version, those 48v are too thirsty, using the kona engine will be perfect, but probably hyundai don't trust in HB anymore, is a shame because my i30 go brasil from 2014 is great, not a single problem in 10 years.

[@doolanbrian]

@@stefanomacchi1977 full hybrid would be nice but probably would make the vehicle too expensive. I would imagine, the 2014 model was really good, very reliable vehicle👍🙂

[@stefanomacchi1977]

​@@doolanbrian yeah, all the car manufacturer are gone on rampage with price in the last 2-3 years... same cars sold at 15-20% more without any reason...

We also got this update, somewhat. The old N-Line already had the LED headlights and looked like the N, with the 1.5 Turbo but, ghuess what? we no longer have an N-Line in Romania. However, all the other trims got a spec bump, everybody gets the 10 inch infotainment (the old "Comfort" had a 3.8 inch monochrome display for radio and bluetooth info), LED headlights and tail lights and all but the basic trim got digital dash. Unfortunately we also got a power reduction, on the 1.5 Turbo from 160ps to 140ps and on the 1.5 NA from 110ps to 96ps. The 1.0 T-GDI is not available in the i30 here. Unfortunately, because of the infotainment, a useful feature also got left behind in the i30, no current version gets you the wirelss Android Auto or wireless Apple Carplay. The turbos have a mild hybrid system.

[@doolanbrian]

Thank you for watching, what size wheels do you guys get?

[@10mbc]

@@doolanbrian We used to get the 18" on the N-Line, now discontinued. We get 17" on the Exclusive trim, 16" on the Hghway trim and 15" steel on the Comfort. Also, for the first time on the i30, we can get he Adaptive Cruise Control in the Highway DCT trim. Thanks for the video!

[@doolanbrian]

@@10mbc 👍🙂

[@boyzepter]

Still have petrol... Australia only mhev n auto 1.5t... no more petrol...😢

[@doolanbrian]

@@boyzepter thanks for watching, so do you guys have manual transmission anymore?

[@boyzepter]

@@doolanbrian no manual transmission for this facelift... unfortunately... only come with nline base or premium with panoramic sunroof... what bout your city?

[@doolanbrian]

@@boyzepter in the south of Ireland we only get 1 L petrol turbo, 120 BHP, but it is a manual gearbox, we don’t have an automatic variant! Thanks for the reply!

[@boyzepter]

@doolanbrian 1l turbo with manual gearbox... small engine... really power enough? 0-60 how many seconds?

[@doolanbrian]

@@boyzepter it’s okay, but it takes about 10 seconds to get to 100 km/h👍
