2024 Hyundai i30 Sedan N (inc. 0-100 & braking) review: This is the BEST affordable hot sedan!

It’s a big call, but I think this is the BEST affordable performance sedan on the market. It’s damn quick through the corners, quick in a straight line and sounds absolutely unreal.

A number of people have called out that the car may not have been in “octane learning mode” during the performance runs. It’s a strange thing given the knock sensor should take care of that almost immediately. But I’ll get the car back and run it through the learning mode and try performance runs again to see if it makes a difference.

Now that my kids are older and I no longer need an SUV, I'm back in a sedan and it's so much better. More comfortable and handles like a dream. This car is on my list to buy. Love the look of it and the performance.

Waited 2 long years for this 24 design refresh! Been driving mine for a month now and having a blast every day!!

I have to say my 22 Model has never disappointed, Cant imagine anything else on the new Car market giving such bang for buck and I'm one of those people who adores the way it looks.

I have a 2024 hyundai i30 sedan n premium and I love it, it's lots of fun.❤

[claudiadavies]

This is truly drop dead gorgeous, unique and beautiful, so great to see some head turning design on our roads instead of just big boxes on wheels, and don't get me started on that party time of an exhaust system, it's hilarious and fabulous 😊😊😊

Good review Paul. I’ve been at Essendon Hyundai twice over the last 2 days to convince myself I need one.

[DaniMacYo]

My brother just got a 24 model today. 😅 I drove it good fun.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

[harrybuhse]

This was an excellent review. Well done mate.

[davidandbrigittemckee]

I love it Performance Blue exhaust sound absolutely gorgeous I’d have ten of them if I had the money

[fredjashar]

I've just ordered a Cyber Grey one with the DCT. Can't wait to get it. Thanks Paul.

[banggdi]

Wow Love this car with red line! Great video!

[RichardPettit-rp]

Value for money motoring. Saving heaps over a VW R brand for 0.7 secs slower. Well worth it

[turkeycrabshack]

putting down a deposit on a 2023 model sedan, went for test drive and was instantly sold what a fun little car

[nikkipedro]

Thanks Paul. I would still like to see a review of the new Sonata if you can fit it into your busy schedule.

[MarcoSultana]

I really love the facelift but the fact that adaptive cruise control, 360° camera, blind spot monitor view, and 2 additional rear airbags are omitted from Australian models is absolutely mind boggling, I would have paid extra if they were added as an option! Such a dumb ass move from Hyundai Australia! 👎 It's back to the drawing board for me! 🤦🏻‍♂️😤

[christieheffernan]

I was originally wanting the hatch/fastback of the i30N since I preferred hatches, found out the sedan had ventilated seats which was kinda a selling point for me and was just overall a better car imo from reviews I watched. Picked up my 2022 Sedan N about 6 months ago and made the compromise for the sedan even though I prefer the more practicality of hatchbacks. Absolute it love it though and no regrets! Such a good looking car

[Freeworld]

This car looks so much better than the last version at the front. It also represents excellent value for money and can be driven in normal mode which takes away its boy racer attitude and is great for the day to day drive. I would buy it in a more discreet colour as I did with my i30n hatch. If I had to turn off annoying beeps every time I got in the car, its a deal breaker for me.

[Bmontepeque]

Wait, you're tellling me the Elantra is just the i30 Sedan in most of the world? :o
