    2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan N (inc. 0-100 & braking) review

    This is the BEST affordable hot sedan!

    It’s a big call, but I think this is the BEST affordable performance sedan on the market. It’s damn quick through the corners, quick in a straight line and sounds absolutely unreal.

    Interior

    Photos and Images of the Hyundai i30 Interior

    There are actually some pretty big design differences between hatch and sedan, outside of course – but also inside. These two cars are sold under different nameplates (i30 and Elantra) in various markets, and it shows.

    The sedan for example has a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster on high-grade models, next to the hatchback's 7.0-inch display. It also has a more driver-oriented fascia, different door and dash shaping, and even a different grade-specific steering wheel. It's a much more cutting-edge design overall.

    Both models offer a decent amount of storage and good build quality, although there's still evidence of cost-saving materials here and there. Both body types offer plenty of adjustability, although the sedan is a little tight on headroom – even though it lacks the hatchback's available panoramic roof.

    The 8.0-inch infotainment screen is a decent size, boasts reversing camera footage of a decent resolution, and is flanked by physical shortcut buttons for various functions. There’s also a star button by the screen that you can program as a shortcut – I programmed it to take me to the home screen, as there’s unusually no physical home button.

    In terms of storage, there’s a shelf at the base of the centre stack containing the wireless charging pad, while along the centre console there are two cupholders plus a fairly deep bin. The bottle holders in the doors fit 600ml bottles.

    For someone 180cm tall, there’s ample legroom behind a front-seat occupant the same size. In fact, there’s a genuinely impressive amount of legroom back here, while the floor is mostly flat.

    Rear-seat occupants get air vents, a fold-down centre armrest with cupholders, and bottle holders in the doors large enough for a 600ml bottle, but there are no USB outlets back here.

    If you have small children, you can use one of the three top-tether anchor points for a child seat. There are also ISOFIX points for both outboard seats.

    Where the hatch looks like a pretty conventional five-door, albeit with a new-design grille and light combination, the sedan is all edges and angles and coupe-like profile. They're very, very different.

    Cost of Ownership

    What is the running, servicing and ownership costs of buying a Hyundai i30?

    Service costs vary depending on engine, with your best bet being to pre-pay for five years of servicing.

    Base, Active and Elite hatchbacks and sedans with the base 2.0-litre engine have service intervals of 12 months or 15,000km, and come with a five-year service plan costing $1495.

    N Line and N Line Premium hatchbacks and sedans with the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine and intervals of 12 months or 10,000km come with a five-year service plan costing $1495, but note the shorter distance intervals.

    N and N Premium hatchbacks and sedans with the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and intervals of 12 months or 10,000km come with a five-year service plan costing $1675.

    How it Drives

    Our expert take on Hyundai i30 drivability?

    Base models with the 120kW/203Nm (hatch) or 117kW/191Nm (sedan) 2.0-litre engine and six-speed transmissions are inoffensive motoring, with decent locally-sorted ride and handling balance – with one caveat being mediocre noise suppression.

    The N-Line models have a multi-link rear suspension, 150kW and 265Nm turbo engines, and the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch auto with paddles, making them quite consummate warmed-up hatchbacks.

    But the superstar models are the proper N cars, with their Nurburgring-honed tuning, adaptive dampers, multi-mode exhausts, massive brakes, LSDs, stiffening braces, variable steering and throttle modes, circuit maps, and track-ready driving modes that relax electronic driver aids.

    These are the real-deal. And that's before mentioning the 206kW and 392Nm (more on over boost) turbo engine, and availability of either six-speed manual or new eight-speed DCT.

    Owner Reviews

    Owner's reviews of the Hyundai i30

    Should you buy the Hyundai i30

    Is this the right car for you? Our experts buy or not guide.

    From a cheap rental base to a track-honed dynamo, the range has you pretty covered. The only real missing areas are the lack of a hybrid to match the Corolla, and lack of a wagon.

    Competitor Analysis

    What other cars should you look at?

    The i30's strength lies in its diversity: there's almost something for everyone, save the lack of a wagon.

    It's more spacious than a Toyota Corolla, and offers more performance from the option of 1.6 and 2.0-litre turbo engines. The Corolla counters by packing a frugal hybrid option, however.
