Hyundai i30 Sedan N (Elantra N) 2022 review (inc 0-100): See why it's the BEST Hyundai N car ever!!

[@CarSauce]

Which N would you take? You can only have one! 1. i30 N 2. Kona N 3. i20 N 4. i30 Sedan N (aka Elantra N!)

[@silo_fx3182]

i30 N for me. Prefer the looks and the analogue instruments. Good review though. Does this come with a manual? #Yes it does - same price as DCT

[@Hansanaw]

I30 N hatch any day. This is a boat.

[@juliuscesar9864]

That is the order I would list them, 😁 I'd have all four, you are too cruel just to allow us to have one 😛 Each are unique in their own way. Another top review Matt always subjective, honest and having tons of fun doing it. 👍🏽

Hmmm, I would have previously had the i30N but this looks better. However Matt, I fear you are becoming the advertising arm for Hyundai recently?

I know it seems that way but I assure you it’s not the case! I have a bunch of reviews on backlog, but because Hyundai keep releasing new cars and it’s just me filming, editing, etc. I can only manage to film and edit the new car launches! Hyundai will be a lot more quiet for me next year 😊

Thank you! It’s actually purely aesthetic here. In the n line it’s the drive mode selector, but that is in the centre console for this car. Rumour has it that was going to be some sort of phone holder, but that clearly did not happen haha. So it’s purely there for looks!

AWD? That would just add weight. Anyway, the Ioniq 3 N (probably released in 2024) will be AWD/dual motor, sized like a Golf/ID3, but of course much heavier than the i30 N...

[@aerienix]

The blacking out at front kind evokes the new gen RS3. Dare I say I like this better? I’m just not digging the “cat tail” on the sides of the headlights.

[@mickybigeggs]

Panoramic sunroof??

[@rajTrondhjem10]

Great review.. Just one question. Is this the most comfortable N car on Aussie roads? Thanks

[@mharro88]

No the n-line sedan is

[@ironmaidentragic]

Why isn't anyone reviewing the manual?

[@ronforeman2556]

Isn't the I30 N hatch still built on the previous platform, as is the Kona N (the latter albeit on a shorter wheelbase), while the 130 N sedan rides on the newer chassis?

[@anthonygibara8005]

I’ve been waiting for this car for 12 months to place an order but I’m so bummed that it doesn’t come with the same N Light seats available on other N Models and the Sedan N in other markets. The lack of N Light Seats with the alcantara is a deal breaker for me and I dare will be for other buys in the Aussie market. Fingers crossed Hyundai are planning on making it available for Sedan N soon!

[@pazera66]

But those seat doesn't look like old regular N seats. Also elantra sits lower then i30N to I would not put everything on the line for just N light seats.

[@adamodare87]

Yeh this hit me hard too. The seats are very good though, i test drove a few days ago and placed my deposit. I wanted the light seats but i guess the heating and cooling makes up for it. I sat in the n light seats and i20n seats also. I20n seats felt the best

because the hatch has forged rims

[@Slipperystick73]

This is what the wife wants as she hates hatches… plus I’m a big fan of the sedan.. only downside you don’t get the forged wheels like the hatch. .. but I can buy forged wheels cheaper as aftermarket ones , than what Hyundai sells them for

Yea, they are crazy expensive. I thought about buying set of 2 for front semi click setup but the price is outrageous. I went with a good german cast wheels for 1/4 the price

[@Alexander-nz1dz]

Weird noticing the difference between the markets. Over here in the states we get fancier? front cloth seats with a N logo that lights up, but we also lose the rear seat vents and seat cooling. Our one option also is $2k for the DCT+moonroof as a bundle, go figure.

The interior is definitely better than the others but I can't warm to the exterior design. I bough a hatch. I like the idea of the sedan but couldn't live with the looks for the next 4 or so years.

[@mharro88]

Weird. It looks awesome

[@Chrizzaah]

How would you compare this with the Skoda Octavia RS? The Skoda seems to be more premium on the inside and outside than this, but doesn't come across as sporty. For 90% of the time as a daily driver, the I'd imagine the Skoda is the nicer car to live with. The Hyundai's stock exhaust is really good though.

[@mharro88]

It's not even close. The n wipes the floor with it in performance. Inside I prefer this over the RS as well.

[@shannonrussell7151]

@@buckd1ch I don't think a hatch is any different than any other car to be honest. It depends on FWD vs RWD vs AWD and the power versus weight ratio as well. So many factors. I know with my tuned FWD vehicle, if I just mash the accelerator, massive torque steer and it doesn't have a electronic LSD, so it is a factor. I have to increase gradually to get better results. As Matt doesn't own the vehicles, he wouldn't have time to adjust even if he wanted to. Just my opinion but nothing to get stuck into someone about.
