The brand’s Cascading Grille features, marked with a N badge, and the front splitter gets a red accent to hike up the visual presence. The side sills are finished in black, while the outside mirror caps are of the gloss black variety.

The i30 N also gets an increased wheel arch, and in standard form sits on 18-inch wheels and 225/40 Michelin tyres, while the Performance Package version wears 19-inch units, wrapped with 235/35 Pirelli P-Zero high-performance Hyundai N tyres. The N sits lower than the regular five-door i30, four millimetres lower with the 18-inch wheels and eight millimetres lower with the 19-inchers

The 275 PS variant also gets red N brake calipers and larger 18-inch front, 17-inch rear brake discs (on the standard, 17-inch and 16-inch respectively) and adds on an electronic limited slip differential (E-LSD) and a variable exhaust valve system.

Plenty of performance-oriented gear on this one, the list including an electronic-controlled adjustable suspension, rev matching, launch control and lap timer, among others.
