2024 Hyundai i30 N hatch prices rise

The 2024 Hyundai i30 N has been priced from $50,000 plus on-road costs and now offers consumers price parity between the six-speed manual and eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions.

The bold but not unprecedented move means the Korean hot hatch’s entry price has risen by $3800 for the manual and $800 for the automatic, however the extra coin is offset by a significant equipment increase across the board.

Those chasing a Premium version will now have to fork out another $4300 for a manual but can actually save $200 on the auto, seeing as they’re now priced from $53,500, albeit minus the sunroof.

As reported previously, the i30 N’s second facelift comprises a subtly altered exterior design, the range-wide adoption of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, Bluelink connected services, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, updated steering wheel, USB-C ports and over-the-air (OTA) updates for the infotainment system.

Other enhancements include rain-sensing wipers, the addition of intelligent speed limit assist, gloss black centre console trim and rear-occupant alert while Premium versions nab a new design for the leather and Alcantara upholstery encasing the N Light bucket seats.

In terms of optional extras, Hyundai Australia has scrapped the short-lived Comfort Seat option for the Premium grades and provided customers with the chance to have a Premium DCT without the panoramic roof – meaning there’s now technically one extra variant.

“These key updates are about improving the Hyundai i30 N formula, without changing the fundamentals,” said Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive officer, Ted Lee.

“While the i30 N has always been about maximising performance and fun, these improvements focus on delivering key safety and technology updates, adding to the well-rounded nature of this accessible and exciting performance vehicle.”

No changes have been made to the 206kW/392Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, nor the two available transmissions or the adjustable chassis set-up – unlike the facelifted i30 Sedan N which nabbed new bushings, retuned steering and raised 280km/h speed limiter.

The same can’t be said for the available colour palette, as Ultimate Red and Electronic Grey have been added to the mix, joining the existing Atlas White, Performance Blue, Phantom Black, Shadow Grey and Engine Red.

As before, the i30 N hatch, like every other N car, is covered by a five-year/unlimited-km factory warranty which includes non-competitive track usage.
