In Line for a styling tweak

- By Steve Hughes

HYUNDAI has announced the pricing and specificat­ion of its new i30 N Line, which will go on sale here next month.

The i30 N Line brings some of the sporty exterior styling of the i30 N, with the front and rear bumpers shared with the high-performanc­e model.

There are also N Line-specific silver lower accents and N Line badging on the front wings. A twin exhaust, LED rear lamps and 18in Fastback design alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot PS4 tyres complete the exterior. The interior design includes sports seats and a leather steering wheel from the i30 N and N Line gear lever.

As with all i30s, the i30 N Line offers a high level of safety equipment, with a lane departure warning system, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking and hill start assist control featuring on all models. Standard technology and connectivi­ty equipment also feature, with all N Lines benefittin­g from Centre Console Display with 8in Touchscree­n Display Audio with Smart Device Integratio­n & DAB (supporting Apple Carplay and Android Auto).

In addition to performanc­e styling, the i30 N Line models also get changes to the suspension, brakes and engine response.

Prices will start from £21,255 for the i30 N Line 1.4 T-GDi 140 six-speed manual, which comes with cloth sports seats plus manual height adjustabil­ity to both passenger and driver’s side, with further electrical adjustabil­ity on the driver’s side. A black headlining and chrome-effect exterior door handles also differenti­ate the N Line from other i30 models. Air conditioni­ng, automatic-dimming rear-view mirror and privacy glass also feature as standard. The N Line is also available with a seven-speed DCT transmissi­on.

From £23,255, the i30 N Line + 1.4 T-GDi 140 six-speed manual builds on the N Line trim level by offering heated leather and suede sports seats with electrical adjustment to both driver and passenger sides, manual height adjustment and driver’s side memory function and heated steering wheel.
