Hyundai created a storm with it’s i30 lineup over the years along with the introduction of N line range. Continuing the momentum for 2020, Hyundai has revised the model with a new design, advanced connectivity features and offer an electrified 48-volt mild hybrid option, resulting in increased fuel efficiency.
For the N line range fans, good news as Hyundai also updating its i30 N Line range. The i30 N-inspired design features will continue to be available on the i30 hatchback, fastback models and for the first time, on the new i30 Wagon. These models are expecting to sell starting in summer 2020.
Newly redesigned for 2020 Hyundai i30 range
Hyundai made sure for the 2020 models to have the front looked much more wider-looking, more modern stance. Even for the grille, it will be wider and features an accentuated 3D pattern that emphasises the agile look of the car.
Not forgetting about the headlamps, it spots with a slimmer headlamps with optional multifaceted reflector (MFR) LED technology and new V-shaped signature LED daytime running lights (DRLs) complete the renewed, modern front end design.
Over to the rear, the new i30 5-door comes with a new bumper design, which was developed to improve aerodynamic performance. The LED rear combination lamps create a V-shape for a symmetrical effect between the front and the back.
A new, redesigned diamond-cut 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels completes the new Hyundai i30 range exterior.
N Line trim for all range comes with new upgrades
The new i30 N Line exterior will sport a new wider central grille, headlamps, new design of the rear bumper with wide diffuser and repositioned fog lights. The N Line will comes with option of 17-inch or 18-inch wheel design that adds to the excitement, expressing speed even when standing still. This contributes to a modern profile, which is full of motion.
The new i30 N Line Hatchback and Fastback will get tuning updates for suspension and steering. Only two type of engines is offered for the N Line which is the 1.5 T-GDi 160 PS and 1.6 Diesel 136 PS engines for a more dynamic ride.
