Yuck hatch way better

For this reason, I bought a new i20N in September 2024 (white with a black roof). I ❤ this car! I find the EU's policies unrealistic. Greetings from Switzerland

I bought the i30N fastback from 2019, really looking forward to get it on my hands!!

How about the car parts? If no more production will Europeans be able to order factory car parts if needed ot this will be also in issue if you owe one and want to enjoy for 5 years from now? Thanks.

Just bought the fastback N manual 2019 for my girlfriend, amazing car! The hatchback looks basic in comparison

i rather have some mechanical buttons than capacitve or haptic touch sensors......

Agree with the majority of what you have said. Has the interior dated?? 100% yes. The interior dates back to when the PD debuted in 2016. So now being 2024 that's 8 years. Looking at the other N products, i30N Sedan (Elantra N in the US) i20N & Kona N, all are lot more modern. I had a 2017 i30 SR which I then sold in 2023 for an i20N. While the interior still has a lot of plastic, the i20N still feels more modern & updated. While at first glance the digital dash of the other N products looks like it could be gimmicky, when you get used to it, it's anything but. The N products are more aimed at the driving enthusiast, rather than the daily commuter. I don't feel they need a more "upmarket" interior which in turn would make them more expensive. Much happier that the R&D $$ have gone on the driving enjoyment, rather than a tactile feel of buttons or a soft touch part that you wouldn't normally touch.

I agree with you. Having owned several cars, including many ford fairlanes back in the day, the i30N is not quite as "premium", but I really love the balance of practicality, along with good design. I love the fact that there is a perfect balance of manual buttons for things like air con/temp, vents, lights, hazards, etc so you don't have to navigate a damned menu on a screen when driving. I love the steering wheel - all the "most used" functions are just 1 click away, and then many of the "not so frequently needed" functions, you can go digging into the menus on the screen for. Also love that Hyundai left the manual hand brake, and (most of all) the seats in the 2023 i30N premium are absolutely superb - they hug you just enough to be secure when driving a bit harder on winding country roads, while so comfortable for daily driving (they are even heated). I took a Leon Cupra for a test drive, and found it massively lacking in all of the above. Yes, more "premium" in terms of interior surfaces, but very poorly thought out layout and controls, and massively annoying using controls during driving (and also nowhere near as fun as the i30N). I give Hyundai 9.5 out of 10 for the i30N. In fact, the only real "criticism" would be for the speakers - OK for most, but a bit tinny if you are a proper music buff, but let's face it - I didn't buy the car for listening to music, I bought it because I love driving it, and when doing so, the radio is off, the engine is in N-Mode, and the windows are down and sunroof up and I'm smiling while listening to the engine pop and bang and do it's thing! Happy days..... ;-)

i got the last one available in belgium

Another point, at least in my country... the Interior of the Civic Type R might be a lot more premium and performance focused, but they also cost 20 grand more than the i30N

Great video. Well done! A fabulous car. Have gone with a 2024 manual Fastback in Performance Blue. The vehicle has 190km on the clock and is a non-demo pre-registered vehicle.

just bought yesterday one of the last i30n in germany. realy sad

i definitely prefer the fastback look the hatchback looks too much like a Golf imitation just my opinion but everybody got a different taste

Great review I also own an I30N fastback mine is a limited edition one not sure what that means?… I traded mine against a nearly new Kia EV 6 thank god for petrol…😀

I drive the regular version of the i30 fastback, 1.4 - 140 HP ... make some kind of video on the technical details of the car, but not so much as regards the car, but the fuel consumption itself - today the prices in the EU are high as far as gasoline is concerned and it is not the same if the car has a consumption of 4.8-6.0 like mine or the N version which probably has an average of about 7-7.5 L /100 km ... in addition to insurance in the EU - complete for a new vehicle with Casco insurance (at least as far as Croatia is concerned) it costs around 2000 eur/year. It's not a little.

this whole EV nonsense will be such a flop and will never work because there is no infrastructure build for everyone one to drive EV. many most people cant afford new EV , many dont have option to charge it, its just a stupid BS to control people again. car polution % is such a fracture compared to other thing as big trasport ship or planes or factories is just all stupid bureaucracy. i will never give up driving petrol cars until i die. fuck EV with their fake sound.

glad i got mine last year october. price will go definetly up as these cars are just amazing to drive

"Zero Emissions" is literally impossible. It's a scam and the biggest psyop being currently pushed by the elites. The manufacturing process behind electric cars is considerably worse for the environment than the carbon emissions from a petrol cars entire lifetime. It's all about control, wake the fk up, don't fall for it.

I enjoyed the video. I hope the UA-cam algorithm gods give you a boost in popularity. Well produced, well narrated.

i got lucky, ordered mine last week, they had 5 in stock and i got the very last in white black

How's the back seat for cardio purposes?

Sad!!!!!! I think this is going to be a huge mistake, especially if they go full electric as I think a lot more focus on Hybrid's would have been the way to go. The i5N and i6N are going to be so expensive and out of the reach of many...they will not sell many.

한국에서 구입하고 싶어도 살 수없는 i30N을 유럽에서 구입 후 한국으로 갖고 오고 싶다.

Sad news. I got my i30N a few months ago and I love it. I think there will be less hot hatches in the future based on the restrictions but I am sad Hyundai had to do this.

Why would anyone vent want to buy this

Thank God its been discontinued

Who even wants to buy this

Good thats its been discontinued

When driving in eco mode is it noisy from inside? How it goes over bumps soft or hard?

Howdy. Came across your channel researching the i30N vs the FL5 Type R. Tried to send you an email but got a bounce.

good that ive just got my new i30n fastback :D

Worth knowing,have been a bit put off the fastback due to some reviews complaining about the ride quality,so erred back to the golf gti pp,its a bit of a toss up!🤔

This is some bad news from everyone in Europe. EVs cant be the only way, in Germany there are a lot of problems with the power suministration because of how much EVs are now being charged at night, for example. Also, not every country in the european union is Germany and the EVs are very expensive compared to petrol engines. Im from spain and the average age of cars are +15 years cause of the salaries. All of these changes can cause a lot of problems in some countries imo, lets see what happens

Do you know why they didn't change the rear design of the facelift fastback? By the way I have a pre facelift hatchback.

Fancy the Fastback N,will put up with the interior simply for the way it drives!😊

Hyundai has improved big time, they are killing it right now, I own a 2021 Sonata N Line and am absolutely in love with the car, it’s FWD tyre shredding rocket, always puts a smile on my face. My brother-in-law also owns a i30 Sedan N (Elantra N) and we usually cruise around together taking the cars out while “trying” to behave on public roads.

The N club🔥🔥🔥

I had an original i30N Hatch (2019) in Shadow Grey and it had the same seats as yours. Last year I upgraded to the post facelift model (Performance Blue hatch) this time with DCT. It has the sport, light-weight seats that you referred to. While the seats in the original model were more padded and very comfortable, the sports seats are less padded. However, they are still comfortable. We completed a road trip from Sydney to Brisbane and back, in the 2013 model, and did not have any problems with the seats. The only thing we missed was the memory settings (my wife drives it as well with different seat and mirror settings) as the sport seats are not electric.

Could you talk about living with the DCT transmission. Are there any compromises? It it jerky at low speeds/coming to a stop/taking off slowly? Is the gearbox logic good or does it race to the highest gear possible when daily driving?

Being in a swift sport what are the pro and cons from jumping into an I30N - none of the German brands really interested me due to brand association for hatchbacks. Or were out my price range due to not wanting to spend a lot of money on a depreciating asset.

I Went for N over Golf, look at those seats and crappy buttons.

I have never driven a Fastback N, but I did read that when it was released Hyundai had revised the front spring rates from the Hatch to give the Fastback N a more comfortable ride. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on that.

Great work, getting mine in April.

Considering this car is/was so heavily covered online, I am surprised of the lack of videos from people that own them. Kudos to you here, the video is nice, great shots with the car, clean audio and good structure. I just got mine and I looked a lot for the following, maybe it helps for ideas: - Fuel economy - Reliability - Comfortability on longer roads (well I got and answer here now).

i20n is better

I definitely prefer the fastback look on i30N. ❤️‍🔥

The fastback looks absolutely sick and I reckon over time it would be much more desirable!

love my hatch

The fastback is also more grown up and not so "boy racerish". Like id never buy a Golf GTI, id go for the Skoda Octavia VRS. Id never buy a Golf R, id buy an Arteon R. Same thing with the N, now im older and owned the hatch version, depending on my age when I do buy my next N will ultimatley determine whether i get the hatch or fastback. I sold mine at 24, im now time is running out for the hatchback.😂

Well it's a super sporty vehicle at a reasonable price. You start adding things to beef up the interior you'll get a price that reflects.
