i30 N 2021 i30 N

Speaking of competitors for the N: I've read a few reviews of the new Cupra Leon lately. Seems very similar to the N, more powerfull, well specked and about the same price (in Belgium that is). I guess that's gonna be one to compare when it will be "changing cars time" for me, around januari.
I've driven the Formentor and was dissappointed as expected...
The DCT is typicly hordible.
And the worst point, no buttons for the AC!!!
Also the sound is awful.
Worst sound application I know so far.
My Golf Mk3 sounds even better.
 
The cupra is very fast, but it doesn't comunicate as much as the I30n, the sound is crap and the infotainment is like the golf...

The megane rs trophy Idiscarded it cause the suspension are so harsh for daily, and the non trophy version doesn't come with lsd.

The type r is ugly (for me), I love the GR yaris but it's tiny and also doesn't sound...😂

The only cars I have in the radar are: I30N 2021, M140i, M240i 2022 and GR corolla 2022.
Thats an interesting list. My radar includes the following cars:
- i30 N Hatchback
- RS3
- A35

In view of price-performance ratio, the i30 N is always by far the winner.

I heard the RS3 it's very nose heavy understeer ish.

The interior of the A35 is brilliant, but again very cold drive and so capable that could drive itself (not to mention price 😄)

Well RS3 is a great car. My colleague is driving one.
I actually dont like the DCT of the A35 that much. Another point about the A35 is the price...

If people don't care about the size of a car, I absolutely recommend the GR Yaris. Even the sound is only on the inside...
I've been driving countless sports cars and the GR Yaris is one of the most fun ones. They also call a very fair price for it.
If I didn't need a bigger car for work and a tow bar I would definetely get the GR.

I like the Yaris also but for me its too small. i30 N is also not a "big" car but compared to the GR Yaris its totally another world. Also 4-door is a must for me. Besides that, its a brilliant car. Not to forget the AWD.
 
For (very) young people the Yaris is a great Option. I personally would never buy a 3 Door car again. I need 5 doors and more space :)

For young people. Sorry but thats bulls&%t 😂

I hope you do unserstand German :)

Sorry for going off topic.
Let's put the focus back on the i30N 😍

As people are going showrooms etc. be sure to take pics of the FL and post them here. There's still hardly anything coming through on Youtube or anywhere else on the internet! Would love to see more of the new seats too

Also some pictures of the new manual fastback.
We need to know if they ditched the red stitching and switched to blue for all models :)

A UK dealer has posted pics of a DCT fastback.

It has blue stitching, blue mode buttons, and has lost the red trim around the front air vents.

This is on a Primer Grey ;) Fastback

Once again, for my German friends.
I was at my dealer in Berlin because I had an appointment to order the car.

I told him my spec:
  • Fastback
  • MT
  • Shadow Gray
  • Nav and Comfort
and took a look at the backend of his ordering software and the price that he can order the car for (roughly 33.000€) before adding the dealer price on top of it.

I saw the price, I saw the spec, the status of all cars throughout germany for every official Hyundai Partner who doesn't import cars from Austria or other countries.

Fastback MT CURRENTLY in production ONLY
  • in Phantom Black
  • Sunset Red
  • Dark Knight
No other color currently in production or available to order.

Of these cars that are in production:
  • None finished production
  • None were shipped to Germany
  • None arrived in Germany
  • None are at ANY official Hyundai dealer in Germany
  • And none are in Berlin
Now.
From what I was told I am supposed to call him in mid June for a status update and what can be done.
If the car can be ordered in mid june, it will take AT LEAST 4 MONTHS (as it is with the normal i30) for the car to arrive.

So the statement of the "Hyundai N expert in berlin" that I was talking to at the start of the week and commented here is plausible. (6 months at least for MT to be sold/delivered after DCT homologation)

Take it as you want. I will order my car in december and pick it up in spring.
 
good choise, next week i receive the same ( also same color ) without sunroof, but only 2k€ discount
price 41.500, i pay 39500. Belgium and you ?
 
Ordered my Performance Blue, DCT, Panoramic with comfort seats for 33k. It's already manufactured (I have the VIN code) and is on the way to the dealer. Lets see when I will be able to lay my eyes on it...

When did you order? Was it a new order or a preordered one?

It was a preordered one. Ordered like a week ago. In total they had 4 for the whole area (Baltics and Finland). I had a choice to go for N-Light seats and wait for 6 months (estimate) or get one right away and miss out on the seats, so I am expecting to get it early next month :)
