  • Hyundai i30 N hatchback stocks have landed in Australia after a previous stop-order
  • New Comfort Pack on DCT hatches adds new seats to Premium model for no extra cost
  • A final shipment is on the water before a facelift is expected in Australia in late 2024

Hyundai Australia has confirmed new stock of the i30 N hatchback this week, after local customers faced delays of up to nine months during 2023.

A total of 387 are now in Australia and available for delivery to buyers, after ordering of the i30 N hatch was paused in July 2023 after considerable stock shortages lead to customer wait times of between six and nine months.

Hyundai re-opened order books in October last year, and has sold 280 in the first quarter of 2024, with the latest shipment giving healthy stock levels for the next quarter.

The Korean carmaker says there are another 352 i30 N hatchbacks currently on the water heading to Australia from the Czech manufacturing plant in Europe.

Of the nearly 400 MY24 i30 N hatches already on the ground, a number equipped with the dual-clutch transmission also come with the new factory-fitted Comfort Pack.

A no-cost-option over the existing i30N with Premium Sunroof – priced at $51,900 before on-road costs – the Comfort Pack sees the standard Alcantara and leather lightweight front seats replaced by suede and leather N sports seats.

The optional seats bring with eight-way power adjustment, four-way lumbar support as well as cushion extensions on both seats, while the driver’s seat has a memory setting.

The Comfort Pack also includes the Panoramic Sunroof in what may be the last shipment of the current model i30 N hatch.

A facelift of the i30 hatch was revealed in Europe in March 2024 is expected in local showrooms late this year as Hyundai Australia switches from South Korean production to Czech supply.

South Korean production of the current ‘PD’ series i30 hatch ended in December 2023, where the i30 sedan still comes from.

There is still a wait of up to six months for Australian customers ordering the i20 N hatch, which is also sourced from the Czech Republic.
