2025 Hyundai i30 N gets fresh look and new tech

The Hyundai i30 N has been updated for 2025 with a refreshed look, new technology and enhanced safety equipment.

On the outside, the 2025 i30 N welcomes fresh design elements that include a new matte-grey colour scheme for its 19-inch forged wheels, a new radiator grille design and red trimming on the side skirting, the latter pairing seamlessly with the new red front bumper inserts. Elsewhere the Hyundai badging is now matte black at the front and rear.

Inside, the instrument cluster has been upgraded to a 10.25-inch digital display which joins the existing 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen.

The updated seat design for the suede-leather N bucket seats, and a new gloss-black finish around the gear shift, further lift the interior ambience and comfort.

Connectivity has also been improved, with the addition of three USB-C charge points, one in the front and two for the backseat passengers, while rain-sensing wipers and an Electrochromic Mirror are both now standard features.

A new addition to the steering wheel is a red NGS (N Grin Shift) button, a design feature adopted from the i30 Sedan N and IONIQ 5 N.

Cheekily named for the grin it puts on a driver’s face, the NGS button unleashes the maximum power and torque, an unbridled exhaust note, and the most aggressive gear upshifts, for 20-seconds spells.

The 2025 i30 N also introduces enhancements to its active safety systems, with updated Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), which uses front radar sensors and a windshield-mounted camera to scan for cars, pedestrians and now cyclists.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, Driver Attention Warning and Multi-Collision Braking also appear as standard features, further enhancing the i30 N’s safety offering.

While much is new for the 2025 i30 N, its core performance ingredients remain unchanged, including its potent 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that develops 206kW @ 6,000rpm and 392Nm across a wide 2,100 to 4,700rpm. It continues to be offered with a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or the an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.
