The Hyundai i30 N has received a price increase across most of the range for 2025, coinciding with a minor cosmetic and equipment update to the hot hatch.

    Deliveries of the updated Hyundai i30 N hatch are due to begin this month.

    Hyundai has now aligned the prices of six-speed manual and eight-speed dual-clutch automatic variants, both now starting from $50,000 before on-road costs.

    This represents a $3800 increase for manual variants and a $800 rise for automatic examples compared to the pre-update model.

    Flagship i30 N Premium grades are also identically priced from $53,500 before on-road costs, regardless of transmission choice.

    While this means the Premium manual is $4300 more expensive, the Premium auto is $200 cheaper.

    However, the auto no longer comes with a sunroof, which has become a $2000 option – essentially resulting in a like-for-like price increase of $1800 when the panoramic roof is ticked.

    Changes include a new matte grey finish for the 19-inch forged wheels, a revised grille, and red trim on the side skirts and front bumper inserts.

    Inside, it gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster like the i30 Sedan N, which can display turbo boost gauges, a g-force meter and a lap timer.

    The suite of safety technology has also been upgraded, with the autonomous emergency braking system, which uses both radar and a windshield-mounted camera, now able to detect cyclists in addition to cars and pedestrians.

    The hot hatch is also the latest vehicle to gain Hyundai Bluelink connected car services and over-the-air software updates.
