i30 N Series II

Designed by the pursuit of performance.

Hyundai has unveiled the new i30 N Series II, which comes with an enhanced design, a new wet-type eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (N DCT), and new advanced SmartSense driver assistance and safety features.

With a variety of new features to improve both everyday and high-performance driving situations, the i30 N Series II is truly a racetrack-capable everyday sports car.

Performance.

The i30 N Series II comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with either a six-speed manual transmission (6MT) or – for the first time – a wet-type eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (N DCT). The 205 kW engine offers flat power, which ensures high responsiveness and improved acceleration for even more fun on the road or on the track.

Flat power provides more torque and power at lower RPMs, thus utilising more of the engine’s potential in everyday driving situations. The new i30 N keeps maximum torque between 1,950 and 4,600 RPM, and achieves maximum power at 5,200 RPM. This improves acceleration in the mid and high-speed range and delivers consistently high performance even in a variety of ambient conditions.

Technology and Safety.

The i30 N Series II has been upgraded to include more Hyundai SmartSense active safety and driver assistance features. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist has been upgraded to include pedestrian detection (FCA-P). Lane Following Assist (LFA) works to keep the vehicle centered in its lane even before the vehicle begins to drift to one side. On the inside, the driver and front-seat passenger now enjoy a larger 10.25" touchscreen multimedia system. Included is satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, and the highly customisable 'N menu' allowing control of all aspects of your driving experience.

The Performance Driving Data System is used to monitor and improve the driver’s track skills, with updated graphics for even more ease of use. This feature saves and displays driving data, including information on PS, torque, turbo boost. It also includes a lap and acceleration timer, which comes in handy on the track.

Suspension.

As with its predecessor, the i30 N Series II features an Electronic Controlled Suspension. The suspension and steering systems have been retuned, resulting in improved ride and handling performance for both transmission types.

Driver's also benefit from the N Corner Carving Differential, an Electronically Controlled Limited Slip Differential (eLSD). Additionally, the front brake disc size has been increased from 345mm to 360mm for better braking performance.

The weight saved through the optional high-performance N Light Seats and 19-inch forged alloy wheels results in better performance and handling for a more agile driving experience.
