Hyundai Australia has announced the pricing and specifications for the brand’s first high-performance car, the i30 N.

The i30 N will be offered in a single 202kW ‘Performance’ model with a six-speed manual transmission, which is equivalent to the i30 N ‘Performance Package’ sold globally, priced from $39,990 plus on-road costs.

This is significantly less the i30 N Performance’s closest rival, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance which is priced from $47,990, although the i30 N lacks some of the fancy features of its German rivals, instead packaging them as options.

Customers will be able to choose their desired level of luxury via two options packs:

Luxury Pack ($3,000):

Front park assist system
LED courtesy and puddle lights
Power folding exterior mirrors
Rain sensing wipers
Solar control windscreen glass
Driver’s seat memory system
Sport front seats with suede inserts and leather bolsters
Front passenger seat cushion extension
Power front seats – 12 ways
Electro-chromatic interior mirror
Heated front seats/steering wheel
Luggage net
Smart key and push button start
Wireless charging pad (Qi)
Rear privacy glass

A Panoramic Sunroof further adds $2,000.

“We’re confident in the i30 N, we’ve set the MLP at $39,990 to ensure there are no excuses! We encourage every genuine enthusiast in the hot hatch market to drive it and make their mind up based on the product’s merits,” said Hyundai Australia Chief Executive Officer, Mr. JW Lee.

“Given the way i30 N looks, sounds and drives, we believe it will make a compelling case against its strongest competitors, regardless of price.”

“The Hyundai i30 N has been developed for no other purpose than to deliver maximum driving fun to our customers in an accessible high-performance package,” said Albert Biermann, Executive Vice President Performance Development and High Performance Vehicle Division.

“With the high-performance N models we will enhance our brand’s appeal with emotional products that cater to the needs of people who love to have a smile on their face when they drive their car on a winding road and listen to the sound of the engine. That’s why we measure high-performance in BPM, heart beats per minute instead of only RPM.”
