First of all, great review! 👍 The i30 N Performance is definitely a serious competitor for the Golf 8 GTI. With an 8-speed DCT, an i30 N Performance costs €39,960. A Golf 8 GTI with DSG starts around €40.390 - with the standard GTI equipment/interior. I configured an i30 N Performance purely for interest and added all the selectable options and ended up with a price of 43,760€. A fully equipped Golf 8 GTI on the other hand can quickly break the 50,000€ mark. Well done Hyundai.
What?? When the i30n came out i configured one with 275hp and almost all the Extras for like 28500 Brand New.... why ist eberything so expensive now lol
@@theplayerofus319 Yes, cars are getting more expensive. But of course it depends on the country where you buy the car (because of taxes, economic situation, etc.). But the used car market looks even worse. lol Well, I can tell that the german market doesn't look so good. I bought an i30 1.4 T-GDi earlier this year for just under €18,000 (mileage was still under 20,000km). Currently, comparable models are sometimes over 20,000€. Holy shit! 😅
Great review I owned a pre FL and moved to the FL but stayed manual, they have massively understated the power increase for sure it's packing at least 20bhp extra.
From what I gathered, the pre FL roughly had 265hp on average, due to the restrictive turbo. The FL has a bigger turbo that doesnt limit the engine at high rpm and roughly clocks in at 300hp.
I’m actually pretty pumped about this car. Maybe it is because it is a hatchback and I cannot get enough hatchbacks! I think the facelift was a good move. Max, bru, your videos seriously are the best.

Most people hate on pops and bangs mapped into a car, I appreciate your take on it saying how they're very predictable and that's what you have an issue with. For example, bootmod3 on bmws has these settings but I've found them fairly unpredictable and this really adds to the experience rather than seeming "artficial" like many people claim.
I dont " hate" it . I dislike it i comes over as childish . It might be cool when your 18-25 but its just to be obnoxious and to met everybody know " IM HERE LOOK AT ME " and thats not cool when your in a chiptuned 320i or whatever

As a North American resident I still cannot understand the need to have the Veloster over the i30 hatch. I’ve seen quite a few when I was in Germany and they are so nice.
If they only knew how badly VW would mess up the Golf 8's interior and multimedia and climate controls, they could've counted on better sales numbers even without the improvements 😆
Yet the VW fanboys would still buy one, even if it was the ugliest car on the market. And people pay a lot for a used one as well. This one is like for example a Focus ST etc. it loses so much more value. So purely for the selling price, a golf gti is always interesting, no matter how good the others are. They don’t want a Ford or Hyundai or so, cause VW is their “passion”.

Even if you are a VW fan and only want to drive VW, you gotta realize that this brand loyality is only causing them to get worse and worse cars, because the manufacturers abuses that "trust".
Man, it’s not always true. I drive an old vw golf IV (1.9 tdi) i love it, i love the 7.5 gti/r too (not the 8) But i can really appreciate this car, it’s fantastic in my opinion, a way better than 8 gti, m135i, a35 amg. Another dream car is the m140i, or the giulia quadrifoglio 🍀 Yes, i’m italian ahaha ;)
The really fun thing about the i30N is that, if you want to be obnoxious and cause the car to pop like crazy, you can. But if you also just want a rough sounding engine, you can set the Exhaust to Sport (instead of Sport+) while having the Exhaust set to Sport+. It'll make the car sound really good without the crazy pops and bangs, and they also become more unpredictable. Of course you're limiting the power output by reducing the Engine level, but if you're inside town on a nice warm and sunny day and want to hear the engine roar without the pops, you can do it. The i30N is absolutely fantastic. I've had mine since July 2024 and I love every opportunity I have to grab the car and go for a ride.
How have you found the car as a whole in terms of quality and reliability? Any issues popup over the couple of months you've owned it so far? Considering purchasing a used i30n around May next year so would like to hear your thoughts!
@ Hey mate. The i30N has been a dream car of mine for a while now, so my opinion might be a bit biased. I also don’t have much prior experience with cars, as I’ve only owned/own two. I purchased a brand new i30N, so I’m not expecting many issues in the reliability field yet, but having previously owned an i20 1.0 T-GDi, I know that Hyundai makes pretty reliable cars (unless you’re in the USA, that is). In terms of quality, I think it has a pretty decent interior. Not a whole lot of leather, but it’s got some nice soft touch material in most places you touch, and doesn’t really have a lot of plastics. Now, obviously it depends on what you’re used to, but my other car is a Porsche Cayman and I can tell you that, while the Porsche’s interior is more refined, the i30N really isn’t that far behind (as in, it’s not God-awful). For everything else regarding driving.. Man it’s just an absolute blast. The car is everything I wanted and more. It really is a fantastic car, and being quite rare (depending on where you live) is nice because you get some interested looks of other people on the road. Overall, it’s all I’ve ever dreamed it’d be!
@@dragonfang8670 Thank you so much for the detailed review, honestly with the price it is you can sort of expect a bit of plastics haha, seems like the youtube reviews sort of make out the plastic to be a bit more than it actually is! I would definitely agree it's a more 'rare' car, I've seen maybe 5 i20n's in the span of a few years (from the standout performance blue) but I don't believe I've seen any i30n's. Hopefully with the fact they're discontinued and one of the best value for money hot hatches about, they won't depreciate too much. I've gone down an absolute rabbithole of Hyundai and now I'm considering searching far and wide to get my hands on a i30n N-Drive limited edition hahaha. Hopefully my dream will come true next year and I will be able to get my hands on one of these :)
@@sh0ck738 No worries mate, happy to be helpful. Reviewers go through so many cars that I can sort of understand the “too many plastics”. The plastics the i30N (the facelift version at least) has is in the glove box, the center console where the gear knob/handbrake are (all the way to the arm rest), and the lower part of the door where the cupholders are. Everything else is soft touch, both in the front and rear doors, and all of the upper dash console. But even the plasticky bits are well built, I’ve tried shaking the center console and it doesn’t move. After 4300KM I don’t have any creaks or rattles (even when driving through some more rough roads). I really like Hyundai/KIA and what they’ve been in recent years. Their cars are solid and have a very competitive price. The i30N was designed by Albert Biermann himself, and truthfully everything the reviewers out there say about the car, is 100% spot on. It’s got an INCREDIBLE handling (I’d even wager I enjoy it more down a winding road than the Cayman), the exhaust sound is oh so good, and the car itself (of course, it’s subjective) looks outstandingly good. It’s not as exuberant as a Type R, but I like that, it gives it a much more sober look. Good luck on your hunt friend!
one of our aussie reviews managed a 5.1seconds 0-100 with launch at 3200rpm 8sp on standard tyres, he would like to see same on warm sticky tyres and test again
Thank you for sharing! Too bab we don't get the i30N here @ the States, just a cheap version of it as a Elantra GT N-line with 1.6 turbo, by the way great driving skills , 254 km P/H 😃

Beautiful hatch, if I bought one I and I`m scared I might, ( I don`t even need another car ). I would go for black or arctic white. A lot of people detest white but I think it looks very striking on this car. And 6 speed manual, but the auto is nice as well. Tough choice. Hyundai has come a long way since the 1990`s.
It’s not an automatic, its a dual clutch sequential gearbox with automated gear changing or manual changing using paddle shifters. There is no torque converter, therefor its not an automatic slush box.
Nice review!! I watched the Focus ST facelift review, what do you prefer? I'm just between these two models... I have a GTI 7 Performance manual, it will worth to change it??? I really love it but I want something more sporty, spicy...
Finaly 2021 is over and Hyundai can ship the preordered i30N's to its customers. The co2 regulation guideline will again go up high verry quick for Hyundai I think, so be quick to order one. Greetings to all who are waiting too :D
From what I heard, they didnt even start producing the pre ordered cars, to avoid the fines. Will be interesting to see when I get mine, supposedly February-March, but I have a bad feeling already.
@@Wendigo1986 what dealer told u that? Sometimes they talk a bit to much things ;) I hope he is not right with it but if he means the amount of pops and bangs I could life with it. these crackles in N mode are a bit to often for me. its to predictable when it happens. maybe they will do it just for the moment of surprise. Lets hope for the best. it is 96DB on a DCT in 2021 models isn't it? greetings from Cologne, Germany :)

i30n's new forged wheel weigh 9.8kg as I known. former stock wheel weigh about 14kg :)
Despite being 1 inch larger. The new wheels are a REALLY good addition and I think people forget that forged wheels are not cheap.
@@xXYannuschXx Here in Germany, a rim for the Kona N costs €1000!
That's insane.
Max is a Legend !
My good friend and a work colleague have bought one each, I can't wait to sit in my good friends one with the manual gearbox.
Incredible car though. Do love the video. Thank you for creating and sharing it.
Love this car.
Great job my friend!
Same system in BMW around 45000 euro this one 28000 cost it I like it 👌
one of our aussie reviews managed a 5.1seconds 0-100 with launch at 3200rpm 8sp on standard tyres, he would like to see same on warm sticky tyres and test again
Definitely might consider this car now!!
I liked the color so much ... thank you for the video 🥰👍
8 speed Dual Clucth!!!!! Well done Hyundai!!!!
Thank you for sharing! Too bab we don't get the i30N here @ the States, just a cheap version of it as a Elantra GT N-line with 1.6 turbo, by the way great driving skills , 254 km P/H 😃
You will ALWAYS have more fun in a manual than a lousy and boring automatic!! One of the last GEN of manuals before they’re gone 💯
Like this car 👍
I'm joining the military and getting a 40k sign on bonus. This will be my little treat. I think I'll get it with the 6 speed though
Europe and Australia get this, but North America, the Middle East and South Korea get the Veloster N.
I wonder why they made that decision?
@@Berserkism No idea.
And others get the new Elantra N, which is using the next gen i30 platform. Really weird what they are doing.
@@xXYannuschXx sucks that North America won't get that i30 wagon (with diesel, hybrid & N-line trims)
But that's probably because the base i30 (Elantra GT in NA) wasn't selling well after 2018 tbh
Nice car! Road to 3Mln
Nice car !
M-N,
M performance-N performance,
M Town-N village.
Hyundai Motor is copying the bmw M like a fake Chinese car in an insignificant way, using Albert Biermann as a shield.🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
Better looking than A35 AMG
Only European can make good looking interiors. American, Japanese, Korean all are 20 years behind them
y that's kinda true. they are really far behind, Mercedes especially is king of interior right now, insane stuff in the EQS and the new S-Class
I disagree. A35 looks more elegant, classy. I30N looks nice , but definietly cheeper. Nice front, ugly rear if you compare to A35
@@skylinedrag but the a35 is so much more expensive, barely in the same class basically
The A35 tablet screen looks absolutely horrendous imho.
150+ mph is huge for a factory car!
Beautiful hatch, if I bought one I and I`m scared I might, ( I don`t even need another car ). I would go for black or arctic white. A lot of people detest white but I think it looks very striking on this car. And 6 speed manual, but the auto is nice as well. Tough choice. Hyundai has come a long way since the 1990`s.
Great car! Could we also please have a review of the new Cupra Leon 300?
I have the new i30n Fastback an my top speed is 275 km/h but I think there would have been more I had to brake I love my new i30n
Alright man pushing it🙌👏
I would go for fastback version ...both are nice though
Mercedes benz a45s 4 matic+ amg is the fastest hot hatch in the world! 3.9 sek 0-100 is insanely Quick 🤯🤯😱
Best car performance /price. Like this car.
I Know we got the Veloster N over here in the States but i really wish this Car could’ve came here too.
8:21 the horse like: oh no not him again jesus..
It’s not an automatic, its a dual clutch sequential gearbox with automated gear changing or manual changing using paddle shifters. There is no torque converter, therefor its not an automatic slush box.
What A Beautiful Car
I wish we had this in the states
Cool video. Thanks!
Got it, Love it !
Looks unreal
What a nice review! I would buy the automatic, what a car!
Happy New Year ❤
14:41 the m5 v10 👀
Nice review!! I watched the Focus ST facelift review, what do you prefer? I'm just between these two models... I have a GTI 7 Performance manual, it will worth to change it??? I really love it but I want something more sporty, spicy...
I really wish I held out a couple of years till the dct came out
can you make i20 N pls he is new he have 204 hp
Finaly 2021 is over and Hyundai can ship the preordered i30N's to its customers. The co2 regulation guideline will again go up high verry quick for Hyundai I think, so be quick to order one. Greetings to all who are waiting too :D
From what I heard, they didnt even start producing the pre ordered cars, to avoid the fines. Will be interesting to see when I get mine, supposedly February-March, but I have a bad feeling already.
@@xXYannuschXx you'll get the "nerfed" sound version i guess :( dealer told me that they had to make them more quiet in EU
@@Wendigo1986 what dealer told u that? Sometimes they talk a bit to much things ;)
I hope he is not right with it but if he means the amount of pops and bangs I could life with it. these crackles in N mode are a bit to often for me. its to predictable when it happens. maybe they will do it just for the moment of surprise. Lets hope for the best. it is 96DB on a DCT in 2021 models isn't it?
greetings from Cologne, Germany :)
@@RiXtn. hey hey, just a regular hyundai dealer told me that, dunno if he is messing around or what his source is but lets hope for the best haha.
i would assume that the pops and bangs would get reduced , the normal driving around exhaust sound ist pretty quiet actually.
@@Wendigo1986 where are you from? Just wondering if it might be the same where I’m from
Juicy!
The beast 💥💥💥
Great video as always! 🙂 Question: If you were to choose between a used 2019 BMW M135i and new i30n Performance like this one - which one would you pick and why? Many thanks 🙂
