The i30 N DCT swaps the manual for an eight-speed wet dual-clutch with launch control, N Power Shift and N Grin Shift, dropping the 0-100km/h claim to 5.3 seconds. It keeps the same 206kW/392Nm 2.0-litre turbo, E-LSD and adaptive suspension, so it trades some involvement for quicker, more accessible everyday pace. As with all i30 N hatches it currently has no ANCAP rating, so safety is shown as no data.

The i30 N Manual is the entry into Hyundai's hot-hatch range, pairing a 206kW/392Nm 2.0-litre turbo with a six-speed manual, an electronic limited-slip diff and adaptive dampers. It is the purist's pick of the i30 N line-up and the only way to get a clutch pedal in a sub-$55k performance hatch from a mainstream brand. Note the i30 N hatch no longer carries a current ANCAP rating, so safety is rated as no data rather than five stars.

The i30 N Premium Manual is the loaded version of Hyundai's hot hatch, adding the lightweight N Light bucket seats, Alcantara/leather trim, heated seats and steering wheel, parking sensors and an auto-dimming mirror while keeping the six-speed manual. Mechanically it is identical to the base N: 206kW/392Nm 2.0-litre turbo with an E-LSD and adaptive dampers. The N Premium is manual-only in Hyundai's current line-up, and the i30 N hatch carries no current ANCAP rating.

You get 381 litres of boot space with the seats up, and 1,287 litres with the rear seats folded, in the 2026 Hyundai i30 Hatch N Premium w/ Sunroof Manual. It's a 5-seat petrol hatchback with a 6-speed manual sending drive to the front wheels, priced at $57,500 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Fuel use is 8.5L/100km on the combined cycle from a 50-litre fuel tank. Braked towing is rated at 1,000kg. There's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant, so it suits someone after a practical manual hatch who is comfortable checking safety details for themselves.
