It's been almost five years since the launch of the i30 N, so is a facelift enough to help it keep up with the Megane RS?
Engine still lacks true sparkle; still heavier than ideali30 N has been around for nearly five years, in that time completely transforming Hyundai’s image amongst those interested in driving, and has since become a byword for the modern hot hatch.
Hyundai’s hot hatch presence started with the i30 N, and it remains its best N model, and after a recent update that focused on small but meaningful elements, it’s now the best hot hatchback money can buy. The previous generation’s entry-level model is now gone, and prices for all others have gone up across the board, but the i30 N still feels worth every penny.There’s more variety this time around, too.
So right now, in 2022, this i30 N competes in an ecosystem with the best of the VW Group’s efforts, a strong Ford Focus ST and Renault Mégane RS, and even a hot-rod front-wheel-drive BMW, yet the Hyundai remains unbeatable. The i30 N sits at the top of a very talented field, and it’s a truly fantastic thing to drive.
