2025 Hyundai i30 N: Fresh Updates for Australia's Exclusive Hot Hatch

Australia remains the only market globally to offer the complete Hyundai N model range, and this month, the refreshed 2025 Hyundai i30 N is hitting local showrooms. Priced from $50,000 before on-road costs, the updated i30 N introduces a host of new features and enhancements, making it an exciting option for hot hatch enthusiasts.

What’s New in the 2025 Hyundai i30 N?

The 2025 Hyundai i30 N has received a second facelift with several noteworthy updates. Although the core powertrain remains unchanged, the latest iteration brings improvements in technology, safety, and design.

Exterior Updates

The exterior of the i30 N now features a new honeycomb grille pattern, red accents in the front air intakes, and restyled side skirts with red highlights. Black Hyundai badges at both the front and rear give the car a sleek, sporty look, complemented by a new matte grey finish on the 19-inch forged alloy wheels.

Interior Enhancements

Inside, the i30 N gets a significant tech upgrade with the introduction of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, replacing the previous analogue dials. This new display works in conjunction with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen that now supports over-the-air updates.

Other interior enhancements include new Alcantara and leather front sports seats with blue contrast stitching, gloss black trim around the gear shifter, and three USB-C ports (one front, two rear), replacing the older USB-A ports. The addition of a red N Grin Shift (NGS) button brings an ‘overboost’ mode to the steering wheel, which sharpens transmission responses, unleashes maximum power, and opens the bi-modal exhaust for 20 seconds, making for an exhilarating driving experience.

Safety and Tech Upgrades

The 2025 model also sees updates to its active safety systems. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) now detects not only cars and pedestrians but also cyclists. Other standard safety features include Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, Driver Attention Warning, and Multi-Collision Braking.

Performance and Pricing

The performance specs of the i30 N remain impressive with its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 206kW and 392Nm, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The new model's pricing reflects a $3,800 increase for the base model and $4,300 for the Premium version, with some adjustments in the pricing for automatic versions and optional features.
