- Updated i30 Sedan N available in Australia now
- Single variant in manual or auto remains with price rise of $1800
- Additional connectivity features and 'motorsport-derived' chassis enhancements
After its reveal in April 2023, the facelifted 2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan N is now available to order in Australia from $52,000 before on-road costs – an $1800 increase.
As before, the i30 Sedan N will be available in a single trim with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic or a no-cost option six-speed manual, driving the front wheels. The only options are a sunroof ($2000) and premium paint ($595).
Powered by a carry-over 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder developing 206kW/392Nm (up to 213kW in N Grin Shift mode), the latest refresh is focused on visual, tech, and 'motorsport-derived' chassis improvements.

The new-look front bumper with its broad intake and red accented lip is more menacing. It also aids brake cooling, channelling more fresh cool air into the wheel arches.
There are new 19-inch forged alloy wheels that are lighter than the old items, improving handling and ride quality.
Underneath the metal, Hyundai has reinforced the engine mounts, the Sedan N's G-bushing, and fitted a new rear S/ABS insulator made from stiffer polyurethane.
“2024 i30 Sedan N showcases Hyundai’s commitment to bringing motorsport engineering and technology to our road cars, drawing from our TCR Series successes around the world”, said Hyundai Australia CEO Ted Lee.

For the chassis, Hyundai's N division revised the Sedan N's adaptive dampers and ESC programming to aid comfort, response, fun, and even brake temperatures.
The brakes should be more fade resistant also thanks to additional thermal insulation in the lines. Finally, the steering system has been recalibrated to 'enhance feedback and directness', with a lower-friction universal joint providing enhanced precision.
The last identifier outside is new black aluminium badging.
