High performance tyres

The i30 N sports tailor-made Pirelli P-Zero HN tyres, engineered exclusively for the i30 N. These ultra-high performance summer tyres come straight from the flagship Pirelli factory in Turin, Italy. And have been tuned for the unique technical requirements of the i30 N, making them the perfect fit.

Automatic rev matching.

Enhancing the manual gearbox is automatic rev-matching, a function that automatically blips the throttle on downshifts, faithfully replicating the ‘heel and toe’ technique used by advanced drivers to deliver smooth downshifts where revs and road-speed are perfectly synchronised

Drive modes

No matter the road or driving conditions, the i30 N has a mode to suit. Choose from five individual drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, N or N Custom settings, activated by two dedicated buttons on the steering wheel.

N sports body kit.

The aggressive front bumper features large air intakes and incorporates functional brake ducts to channel cooling air to the red brake calipers.

LED headlights.

The full lED headlights units offer LED low-beam & high-beam functionality, and ofer increased visibility via aesthetically-pleasing, crisp white lighting, and also improved durability.

These units feature a stylised design incorporating two low-beam projectors outboard, plus a third high-beam projector mounted inboard in eash headlight unit.

Sports exhaust

The twin-outlet active exhaust has three settings, allowing the driver to select the ideal level of exhaust sound for the conditions - keep it subdued around town or allow the engine's full vocal range to be enjoyed when the open road or track beckons. In Sports+, the throttle lifts and downshifts to bring a thrilling volley of rasping crackles and pops that have to be heard to be appreciated

Electronic-mechanical Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD).

The i30 N features a specially developed 2.0-litre four cylinder powerplant featuring direct injection, variable valve timing and twin-scroll turbocharging to produce 202kW and 353Nm. An overboost function allows peak torque to rise 378Nm for brief full-throttle applications, delivering exhilarating performance.

Active variable exhaust system.

The twin-outlet active exhaust has three settings, allowing the driver to select the ideal level of exhaust sound for the conditions – keep it subdued around town, or allow the engine’s full vocal range to be enjoyed when the open road or track1 beckons. In its most sporting setting, throttle lifts and downshifts bring a thrilling volley of rasping crackles and pops that have to be heard to be appreciated.

Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS).

A lower, firmer suspension tune combined with electronically controlled dampers that continuously adjust damping force (based on road conditions, vehicle speed and driver inputs) means the i30 N delivers exceptional turn-in characteristics and body control, without sacrificing the ride compliance needed for daily driving comfort.

Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA).

When the car ahead is too close for comfort, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist utilises front radar sensors and the windshield mounted camera to detect the proximity. It can also pick up pedestrians and cyclists that are travelling in front and will automatically apply the vehicle's brakes in the case of a potential collision.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).

A steering assist function that detects lane markins to monitor the vehicle's position in the lane. Should the vehicle stray from the intended lane without activating the indicators, an audible and visual warning will be sounded and where required, will provide steering intervention to keep the vehicle in the centre of the lane.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW)

At speeds of 64km/h or above, Driver Attention Warning (DAW) uses the windshield mounted camera to continually monitor the vehicle’s position within the lane, whilst also tracking steering inputs, brake pedal inputs, as well as time since last break. Should the system detect careless driving (such as sudden steering/braking inputs and/or inability to keep within lane), the ‘Attention Level’ display on the cluster will continually decrease. Should the level decrease to a certain threshold, the DAA system will recommend that the driver take a break.
