A model that marked a generation in Brazil returns to the global market bringing many new features, see more about the Hyundai i30 N.
Who would have thought that the return of the Hyundai i30 to the market would be able to shake up the waters of the automobile market with such vehemence? Well, here we are, witnessing the reinvention of a classic, now adorned with the mantle of sportiness under the name of i30 N. A true ovation to the design and performance that promises to leave its competitors with their nerves on edge.
At first glance, the i30 N captivates with its sharp appearance and details that exude sportiness. The 19-inch wheels, adorned with 235/35 tires, not only complement its aesthetics but also promise grip that challenges the laws of physics. And how can we ignore the unique visual signature proposed by Hyundai? The side design, the spoiler that defies convention, and the double exhaust, punctuated by a red stripe, are bold declarations of its sporting identity.
Engine of the new Hyundai i30 N
At its core, the Hyundai i30 N embraces the rebellious spirit with a 2.0 turbo engine, boasting its 280 horsepower to the world. A mechanical feat that not only puts it side by side with the renowned Golf GTI but also gives it an aura of fearlessness, ready to dominate the tracks and hearts. And, as if that weren't enough, it reaches a maximum speed of 250 km/h, a true invitation to adrenaline.
Interior
Entering the i30 N is like being welcomed into a high-performance sanctuary. The sports seats, with the illuminated N emblem, not only promise comfort at every turn, but also highlight Hyundai's care for every detail. And if the exterior is impressive, the interior is not far behind, with finishes that rival the Golf GTI itself, offering an immersive and refined experience.
The i30 N's heart may be mechanical, but its soul is digital. On board, we find a robust multimedia center, which not only keeps us connected to the outside world but also offers us a glimpse into the future of sporty driving. Customizable driving modes, real-time performance monitoring and an intuitive interface are just the tip of the iceberg of the Hyundai experience.
Thus, the Hyundai i30 N is a statement of intent. With a list of features that shake the foundations of the competition, it proves that sportiness and accessibility can indeed go hand in hand. For lovers of speed, technology and design, the i30 N is more than a choice: it is a manifesto. For now the model is sold in Europe and there is no confirmation of launch in Brazil (unfortunately).
Success of the Hyundai i30 in Brazil
When Hyundai introduced the i30 in Brazil in April 2009, perhaps not even the South Korean automaker could have predicted the lasting impact this compact hatchback would have on the Brazilian automotive market. Competing in a class full of strong rivals, such as Citroën C4, Peugeot 308, Fiat Bravo, Ford Focus and Renault Mégane, the i30 not only found its space, but also established itself as one of the favorites among Brazilian consumers.
From the beginning, the i30 stood out for offering a generous list of standard features. Equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, AM/FM MP3 sound system with USB and auxiliary inputs, refrigerated glove box, cruise control, on-board computer and a series of safety devices, including dual front airbags and ABS brakes with EBD, the i30 wasn't just a car; it was a statement that quality and safety did not need to be optional.
Under the hood, the Brazilian i30 was powered by a 2.0 16V DOHC CVVT engine with 145 hp, offering respectable performance on the country's roads. This balance between power and efficiency helped cement its reputation as a solid choice for those looking for a vehicle that was reliable and a pleasure to drive.
i30 versatility
Looking beyond Brazilian borders, the i30 further demonstrated its versatility, being offered in Europe in three distinct versions: hatchback, station wagon (Kombi) and the elegant Fastback sports model. With engines ranging from the efficient 1.0 turbo to the robust 1.4 turbo petrol, as well as a 1.6 diesel option, the i30 proved to be a vehicle capable of meeting a wide range of preferences and needs.
However, not everything was a bed of roses. O model faced her share of challenges in Brazil, including investigations into possible misleading advertising. Despite these controversies, Brazilians' appreciation for the i30 has remained unwavering, demonstrating that the strength of a well-built and well-positioned product often overcomes the obstacles in its path.
