Product Overview

Hyundai i30 III Fastback (chassis code PD) facelift is an affordable compact liftback sedan in production from 2020. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 2.0 liters.

Compared to the hatchback, which has a rather decent styling, the liftback sedan looks awkward. To most, the hatchback is a superior choice with better handling potentials.

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Hyundai i30 Fastback N has always felt a little more relaxed than its raucous hatchback sibling. Subtle but significant differences in the software and suspension settings has given it a more rounded, mature and sophisticated character. Hyundai has introduced a raft of upgrades and tweaks to both the hatchback and Fastback versions of the i30 N.

Pros

Rugged, mature character
Comfortable ride

Cons

No automatic gearbox
Lack of refinement

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The new Hyundai i30 N is one of the sharpest hot hatchbacks money can buy. But it's still a Hyundai, which means it will always be very competitively priced, very well made, unusually well-equipped and come with that same appealingly long warranty. The car appears the same fundamentally on the outside but there are some subtle styling alterations around the nose, tail and along the side skirts that freshen the look rather than radically alter it. LED lights become standard plus there are new 19-inch wheels and tyres, wearing Pirelli P-Zeros.

Pros

Fantastic new DCT gearbox
Sleek looks

Cons

More expensive than rivals
No automatic gearbox
