Hyundai i30 Sedan N: Prestazioni Migliorate per il 2024

La Hyundai i30 Sedan N ha subito significativi cambiamenti per l'anno modello 2024, offrendo prestazioni migliorate e nuove caratteristiche ai suoi consumatori australiani.

Il nuovo Sedan N ha un prezzo di $52,000 prima delle spese stradali, con un aumento di $1,800 rispetto al suo predecessore MY23. despite the price rise, the Sedan N continues to be a popular choice, accounting for a large proportion of i30 N sales in Australia. Last year, 1,573 Sedan Ns were sold compared to 1,626 N hatches.

One of the key changes in the Sedan N is the upgraded stability control system, which aims to further enhance braking performance. The motor-driven steering system has also received updates, with a revised gearbox yoke, a low-friction universal joint, and optimized software. The i30 Sedan N is now fitted with bespoke 245/35ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres.

The electronically controlled three-setting dampers in the Sedan N have been finessed to enhance body control. The Sedan N's refreshed visuals include a more aggressive horizontal theme at the front, fang-like body-coloured lower grille inserts, dual-projector LED headlights, new flat aluminium matte-black badging, and purposeful new black 19-inch forged alloys. The Sedan N's rear bumper is also new, with a chunkier matte-black horizontal insert.

In terms of interior updates, the Sedan N offers a superb three-spoke steering wheel, excellent screen graphics, and simple-to-access performance settings and drive modes. New-for-2024 features include Bluelink connected car services, a revised wireless charging pad, USB-C outlets front and rear, and first-for-N intelligent speed limit assist. However, the interior lacks plush furnishings, with hard plastics abounding and a relatively crummy 464-litre boot. The Sedan N's cabin does not include the low-set leather/Alcantara sports buckets offered overseas, and there is no outside button to open the boot.

The i30 Sedan N's doors only take 600ml bottles, and the rear seat folds only as a single piece, rather than 60:40. This may limit practicality for some potential buyers.

During a 650-kilometer drive back to Sydney in challenging weather, the i30 Sedan N averaged 7.0L/100km. The brakes and tyres withstood the punishment dished out by the Aussie motoring media without needing a cold compress and a lie down in a shady corner.

The engineering changes underneath the Sedan N are extensive, including comprehensive alterations to suspension hardware and body strengthening. These changes are derived from the i30 Sedan N's experience in TCR motorsport. The i30 Sedan N's 0-100km/h acceleration time is 5.3 seconds for the DCT version, compared to 5.8 for the manual.

The price of the Hyundai i30 Sedan N before road costs in 2024 is approximately €32,999 for the 2.0 T-GDI N Performance DCT version, based on listings for models from 2024. The main extra features for 2024 include intelligent speed limit assist and Hyundai's 'Bluelink' connected car services. The i30 Sedan N offers just enough roll to enhance its involvement and tireless steering assistance. The front brake hoses now have a new thermal protector to improve fade resistance.

In conclusion, the 2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan N offers improved performance, new features, and refreshed visuals, making it an attractive option for those seeking a high-performance sedan. However, potential buyers should consider the practicality limitations of the Sedan N's doors and rear seat.
