Hyundai details MY25 i30 N Line MHEV

HYUNDAI has announced pricing and specification details of its i30 N Line hatchback mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) which is set to enter Australian showrooms from this month.

 

Priced from $36,000 plus on-road costs, the European-made (Czech Republic) i30 N Line MHEV will be offered in two grades – N Line and N Line Premium – the latter featuring dual 10.25-inch instrumentation and infotainment screens and an array of SmartSense and Bluelink connectivity features.

 

Powered by a new 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with electric motor assistance, the i30 N Line MHEV is characterised Hyundai says by a boldly restyled body, premium finishes and N Line features.

 

Locally, the Hyundai i30 N Line MHEV range will rival five-door hatch models including the Kia Cerato GT Turbo ($36,860), Mazda 3 G25 GT ($38,570), Peugeot 308 GT (from $43,990), Subaru Impreza 2.0S (from $37,990), Toyota Corolla ZR Hybrid (from $39,100), and Volkswagen Golf Life (from $39,190).

 

Headlining the refreshed i30 N Line visage is a new-look grille with floating dark metal wings and a revised air intake design flanked with multi-face reflector LED headlights with high beam assist and integrated V-shaped daytime running lights.

 

The frontal treatment is complemented by remoulded side skirts with a darkened garnish, and a ‘dynamic’ rear bumper with widened diffusers and twin exhaust outlets.

 

The changes are finished off by new 18-inch alloy wheel designs, 2D badging, rear privacy glass and a choice of seven exterior colours: Abyss Black, Atlas White, Cypress Green, Sailing Blue, Shadow Grey, Shimmering Silver, and Ultimate Red. Premium hues attract a $595 surcharge.

 

Moving inside we find updated décor including the aforementioned 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, soft-painted dashboard, gloss black centre console garnish, and red detailing on the upholstery and ignition bezel.

 

A new sliding centre console armrest also features, as does twin rear USB-C charging ports, and 2D aluminum steering wheel badging.

 

Updated N Line Sport Seats are trimmed in Oceanids Black Synthetic suede and leather combination and feature power lumbar support and an extendable seat cushion (thigh support).

 

The N Line Premium variant adds a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with Bluelink Connected Car Services and Over the Air (OTA) update capability, a 12-way powered driver’s seat with position memory, front seat heating, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof.

 

Under the bonnet, the 2025 Hyundai i30 N Line hatchback range features a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 48-volt assistance. The combination delivers 117kW of power and 253Nm to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

 

Fuel economy and CO2 figures have not been quoted by Hyundai Motor Company Australia.

 

As is the case with other i30 variants, the N Line MHEV features an extensive list of standard safety equipment and technologies, including adaptive cruise control, AEB, blind spot monitoring, driver attention warning, lane following and keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear occupant alert, safe exit warning, and traffic sign recognition to name a few.

 

Hyundai passenger vehicles are backed by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty with included roadside assist, Bluelink subscription, and lifetime servicing plan.

 

“With its new mild hybrid powertrain, refreshed styling, and richly equipped N Line and N Line Premium grades, the sporty and economical 2025 i30 is certain to delight our small-car customers,” said HMCA chief executive officer Ted Lee.
