After starting the WRC program, the Korean car-manufacturer Hyundai dared to launch its first hot-hatch on the market in 2018: the i30 N. And it started to gather more attention to it.
The Hyundai i30 N tried to compete with the well-known hot-hatches on the market such as the Golf GTI, Civic Type R, and Seat Leon Cupra. Just like the aforementioned models, the i30 N was offered in two versions, the other being the i30 N Performance, which added some valuable features such as the limited-slip differential.
From the outside, an untrained eye won't see a difference between a regular i30 and the N version. But a bigger black grille and the red lip under the front apron were different. In the back, the dual exhaust offered a true concert of motorsports sounds, especially when the car was in the sport setting. To complete the image, black rearview mirror cases and black roof-spoiler were added to the car.
Inside, the i30 N featured bucket-seats. Even if they were didn't have a Recaro name on them, they offered good lateral support. A transverse bar was added in the trunk between the wheels to stiffen the bodywork. It was removable, just in case someone would want to carry a big item with the fast and nimble i30 N.
Under the hood, the i30 was offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. In the N-version, it offered 250 hp, while the Performance package added 25 more ponies.
