The new Hyundai i30N is premiere. Hyundai has decided to up the ante in terms of exclusivity over its popular and radical sport compact. The first model with which the young Hyundai N family was launched has released the limited edition Drive-N.

The production of the new i30 N Drive-N will be limited to 800 units. In addition, not all will be destined for the European market. Only 620 units will be marketed in Europe. It should also be noted that this limited edition will be available in both Hatchback and Fastback bodies.
The design of the new Hyundai i30 N Drive-N
How is it different from a standard i30 N? Just take a quick look at the images that illustrate this article to discover what the distinctive features of the limited edition Drive-N are. Taking the i30 N as a starting point, the new model already has a radical and aggressive look. To all the characteristic features of the most performance variant of the Hyundai compact, we must add the distinctive elements of the Drive-N edition.
The first thing we must take into account is the general finish of the bodywork. A body that is available in Phantom Black and new Serenity White Pearl colors. 19-inch forged alloy wheels in a matte dark bronze finish are another design detail to note. Also, the Hyundai badges are painted in black color.
As for the sides, they have been decorated with some vinyl and, as if that were not enough, the Drive-N badges have been incorporated. Badges showing the GPS coordinates of Hyundai’s “headquarters” at the Nürburgring.
The interior of the new Hyundai i30 N Drive-N
Leaving aside the outside, if we go into the interior of the new i30 N Drive-N We will quickly find ourselves surrounded by an environment in which sportsmanship and exclusivity are breathed in equal parts. Instead of a leather upholstery, Hyundai has opted for Alcantara with red stitching to create contrast. A combination that is present in the steering wheel, gear lever, armrest and handbrake.
The brand has opted for red as one of the main colors of the cabin. It can be found on the seat belts, steering wheel N buttons, inserts and the aforementioned upholstery seams. The mats are also exclusive to this limited edition. In addition, and as usual in these cases, each unit will have an identification plate.
Another of the determining keys of this limited edition is its extensive endowment. Between most outstanding standard equipment of the i30 N Drive-N we have a sunroof, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic warning, heated multifunction steering wheel, wireless charger for compatible mobile phones and a 10.25-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system.
The engine of the new Hyundai i30 N Drive-N
Regarding the mechanical section, if we take a look under the hood we will find a 2.0-litre T-GDi petrol engine with 280 hp and 392 Nm of maximum torque. A block that can be associated with a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch N DCT automatic transmission. Always front-wheel drive.
Release date and prices of the new Hyundai i30 N Drive-N
When will it hit the market? The commercial launch of the new i30 N Drive-N in Europe is imminent. The book of orders in selected markets will be opened soon. It is important to point out again that, of the 800 units that will be manufactured, only 620 will be destined for the European territory. Serial production has already started.
