2021 Hyundai i30 N Line Manual Review | Do you REALLY need an i30N?

This is the i30 N Line. No, it's not the i30N, but it's most of the way there. It's the hatchback for those wanting a bit more sporty flavour in their daily hatchback, but without the compromises of a full on hot hatch. Is it worth getting instead of spending more for an i30N? Find out in this review.

I have i30 Nline, I enjoy it Everytime when I drive! That car is about in middle of low end and high end cars instead! More than enough for daily drive around the town and country with middle range pully engine!

[@animalscars3799]

nifty little car and awesome review! Keep them coming 💪

[@ProductReviewCars]

Thank you! Means a lot!

Hi, Just put deposit down for a grey N-Line Premium DCT in melbourne, due in 3-4 weeks - cant wait. Seems a sweet spot vehicle for a bit of fun, handling, and still fairly good on fuel, plus high safety and gear specs!! cooled seats...! amazing!! thanks for your review.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy! The DCT is a lot of fun.

[@MikeyyPham]

I have seen your comment in a few different videos about this N line. How’s your going so far as now it’s my turn the car is coming in few days 😂

[@rogerthompson2005]

@@MikeyyPham nice one. Exciting. What colour? I love the car. The way it handles and the premium spec. Fuel is quite good with my heavy right foot too. Goes well enough for a bit of fun. It’s not golf gti fast but it’s not too way off either. I have had an engine stutter from new when engine is under load accelerating harder than a casual pull away. Being fixed soon. Replacing All the injectors. Taken a few dealer visits to pin point but got there thankfully. Not a wide spread issue that I know of either. You’ll love it. Sometimes I wish for the full fat N model but for now enjoyin this, probably cheaper insurance and running costs.

@@rogerthompson2005 i got the basic white colour, looks best with the black roof imo. I almost bought the mazda 3 until I test drove this i30, much more fun. The dealer I did test drive was not willing to let it go for any less thaj 40k AUD (RRP 41xxx). So I rang around and was able to secure one for 38k5 instead. Good price but I am abit worried the car still new and you already have some engine issues. Mine will probably have too

[@rogerthompson2005]

@@MikeyyPham I wouldnt be worried, mine seems to be an isolated case. Price is good for the premium too. I have a mate in car finance, got mine for $37.5k. Where you located? I didnt drive Mazda 3 as they generally have boring engines! White looks good. Mine is grey, matches the wheel colour well. I also have roof bars and 2x bike racks, kinda adds a utilitarian feel to it visually!

[@PrinceofPeace2000]

Had n line dct for almost a year now. It's a great daily long trip to work and back no hassles.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Nice nice! DCT is a excellent option for this car IMO.

[@PrinceofPeace2000]

@@ProductReviewCars yep, very smooth. I operate on machinery all day and the last thing I need is a manual on the way home.

[@MichaelSmith-py3cf]

@@ProductReviewCars I find that that the DCT gets lost at low speeds. Accelerating out of the corners, it takes a while to find itself.

[@shibujoseph5666]

Great review mate, keep it up.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Greatly appreciated, thank you

[@dilligaf2984]

Great review young man Kudos to you. Looking at getting on in manual. Cheers

[@ProductReviewCars]

Greatly appreciated! It's a sweet set-up with the manual.

[@chillian1985]

I got the i30 N line in polar white with dct, loving it so far! The sports mode in the dct really turn the car into a i30 N little brother

[@ProductReviewCars]

We just picked up the i30 N Line DCT Sedan, and totally agree. It's great to have those drive modes, something that the manual misses out on.

[@actnerd]

How much did $ did that set you back? Did you buy it during the pandemic?

[@Definitely_Someone]

Is it fast for a 158hp car?

[@1wfunston1]

@@Definitely_Someone It's 201.2 hp

[@Definitely_Someone]

@@1wfunston1 oh its the Australian one?

[@xzyzii]

my dream car when i'm older 😻! what year is the best to get?

[@lesgibbs326]

Thanks for a great review i was originally looking at the i20n but production has paused and 2nd hand price are ridiculous. So i thought same motor i30nline hatch and way cheaper than the 30n to buy and run plus smoother ride

[@ProductReviewCars]

Thanks! It's not nearly as fun to drive as the i20N. But it's a nice in between option if you need a car right now.

[@LegolasTheFresh]

Any news on when it'll receive the facelift in Aus?

[@ProductReviewCars]

Nothing as of yet. I bet current supply chain issues are to blame.

[@richardggeorge]

You didn't mention the fact that this gets IRS not torsion beam rear suspension like the lower spec i30s

[@ProductReviewCars]

Oops! That would have been good to mention.

[@mharro88]

Did you find the sedan drive way better than this ? I did

[@ProductReviewCars]

Absolutely

[@DMan-it5tq]

$66 to fill it up. Oh how times have changed😩

[@ProductReviewCars]

I know right!!

[@Sodainspace]

$100 now 😅

[@Rasirzaquer]

I think you got it wrong, I’m not sure that 1.6 L engine produces 150 kW….

[@ProductReviewCars]

Wrong. Most definitely produces 150kW.
