i30 N 2021 i30 N

I've ordered my very fist N, the i30N 5DR 8DCT and the estimate of delivery is end of May. I have to say that I'm incredibly excited and I can't wait to see it and drive it BUT I am a bit disappointed seeing that the seats are not the N Light versions.

Although on the Romanian Hyundai website, they show it to be the N Light versions... based of what I've seen here on this forum, most likely they will be the normal seats.

The fancy seats are optional. So if you haven't specced it, or cannot spec it, they will most likely be the standard shitty seats.
 
There will be the N seats which are only adjustable manuel by hand and when you will get the comfort package the seats will be adjusted automatically by pushing buttons...you can see it und the left side of the seats and the memory buttons on the left door
 
Unfortunately for Romanian market, Hyundai i30N Performance comes without optional, you can configure only the color and that's it.

It was the same for the 1st generation, it's the same now for the facelift :(

So yea, we don't have panoramic roof and no electric adjustable seats.... buuut I'll start looking to buy them separately. The new N Light or the Project C ones.... hopefully I'll found some on the market :D

Are they optional in Romania? Here in Australia, we can either get the regular seats, or instead get the N Light seats as part of an upgraded "Premium" package.

Edit: nevermind, I see you've already clarified there are no options in your market. That's a bummer!

They aren't the nicest seats, but I wouldn't call them shitty.
I've done nearly 80K now and they still look like new.
Did allready three trips to Italy with the car (1500 km one way) and never got out of the car tired or with backpain. So shitty, no not really...
 
Ergonomics are fine, but the leather quality though.... has been a very big topic here. If you have seats that still look prestine after that much miles you are one of the lucky few I quess. :)
 
Yeah, I'm still fighting with Hyundai Romania for my driver seat cover. Under 30k km and the paint on some spots it's gone.
But the seats are very comfy and there is a nice support offered when driving on twisted roads.
 
The new seats get heating but you lose electric adjustment and memory
Now, that'll be the perfect combination for me 😁.
Never drove a car with heated seats before, but after three years I don't want a car without them anymore.
Electric seats were put in the right position when the car was delivered and haven't been touched since. The missus and I share the same drivingposition. So I can do without the weight of those electric motors.

are you sure that the bucket seats come with heated seats? In a group someone got the information from his dealer that it would not be available with heated seats. therefore my question to someone who may have already ordered and knows this for sure :)
 
If you look at pictures you can find online, you see the buttons for the heated seats next to the 'gearleaver' of a new dct with bucketseats. That means they have to be heated.
F.e.:https://autobible.euro.cz/hyundai-i30n-2021/
Scroll to the picture of the interior and make it bigger.
Information coming from dealers often isn't that accurate.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt... 😉

Yes and those seats have illuminated logo so there are already powercabels connected to them. Dont see why they would be without heating but if so it could depend of the region where car is sold.
 
Just called into my local i30N pusher... requesting an update on delivery (Victoria, Australia). Based on current info, delivery is mid June at dealer (east gippy). A request for more detail from Hyundai is pending.
