As an owner of the '24 Sedan N, I honestly can't hear the speed recognition warnings over the exhaust and stereo sounds 🤣 The blue link features (unfortunately not discussed in this video), wheels, and updated design were worth it for me. This thing is a blast to drive.
@@lukemothug3744 It's totally down to preference. I was worried about the rear bumper on the 24 until I saw it in person. Once I saw it, I understood it. It looks more aggressive in person. But my favourite thing about the new rear is that the red trim goes all the way around the back. On the PFL model the red trim tapers off at the rear and doesn't reach the wheels, so the back end looks a bit disconnected from the rest of the car. But different strokes for different folks I guess.
Currently have a 21 Sonata N line from new, cannot make up my mind between this or a new Sonata. When the lease is up, the pro’s and cons, almost balance each other out. No radar cruise may seal the deal against it. (Hard to give up once you’ve had it).
It’s a shame Stinger was discontinued, but there are still plenty of last generation stingers available on the market at the same price marks, I would suggest whoever interested in i30 go have a look at the stingers, you won’t regret.
What would be a similar vehicle comparison for ride quality. I drive a Mustang with magnaride, and am after a slightly softer GT ride. Plus carsales says it does have adaptive cruise control, is this the case ?
I have older and nannying is not a problem. For new, I suspect if you hit N button twice, it’ll put you custom mode which should turn off all the crap and then u can soften everything for street use.
Great review Matt! As an owner of the pfl model, not enough of a step up in features to consider an upgrade for me, and the addition of even more stuff i have to turn off every time i drive it is a deal breaker for me. If they go awd and/or hybrid for the next gen, i reckon that'd be enough for me to pull the trigger on an update. Keep up the great content!
This car at certain front angles looks like that N Vision car Hyundai keeps threatening their going to make. This car is a track weapon, there's no doubt about that and you could bring your family along which is a plus. One alternate you left off but I understand why (its a hot topic right now) the MG5. Its punchy while not as surgical on the track(no track mode but it can handle the business)for less money. ANCAP decided to make an example of them with all the fresh cash they got for existing and MG Australia had the temerity to tell them they werent going to put ADAS in their cars because they wanted to keep their prices less ridiculous.
@therightcar They subdued the front end much like Honda did the previous Gen Type R. I liked how aggressive and different it looked. I swapped my front grill with the M&S grill, and now it's perfect.
@@recursion. I have the old Car and don't mind the new ones style, I still prefer the more aggressive styling of the old but of course would prefer the newer for the new bells and whistles.
Personally I am looking to buy this facelift or the new Kia K4 (Cerato) that is due to come next year. Or maybe Škoda Octavia. I want to support sedan manufacturers because there are still few of us who hate SUV's and ugly looks they present.
this is officialy called Hyundai Elantra N, but for stupid reasons only known to Hyundai Australia they decided to call this i30 Sedan N... funny thing is, there was already i30 Sedan available on australian market and it was called i30 Fastback N...
@@lukemothug3744still it's a closest thing to i30 sedan it will ever be. This is just not i30... Its pure Elantra, and other markets keeping Elantra name proves it.
@@therightcar I'm not doubting you guys but for example, the Kia Picanto also has the small car categorisation.😀 The differences in length, width and weight are substantial.
Never seen a car go from aggressive and beautiful to hideous and cheap looking with just one minor refresh. I can’t understand how people think this looks better. The front end looks like the top of a toaster. Where do I put the bread? The car looks like a cheap electric lawnmower now.
@@tonycutillo2512 Intelligence has nothing to do with personal taste which like the other guy said you are in the minority thinking the previous model looked better.
Everything is subjective bro. This N is more than you'll ever need for a daily driver. I just bought one after driving a ford FOCUS for 13 years, and it's really fast to me!
This car looks amazing, exactly what a sporty sedan should look like, and it sounds magnificent 😊😊😊

How's the look of the rear bumper doing for you?
@@lukemothug3744Only Golfs and Type Rs see it so what does it matter?
The pre-facelift bumper is better looking what are your thoughts?

The older one or this one they are both head turners for me very nice car.

Does it come with ambient lighting if you don't opt the sunroof?
can you do the new skoda superb?
Question is, if you can get your hands on a FL5, would it be worth the premium if you value resale?

I am an owner of the 2022 130N premium with the extras. Love the ride and sound.
I have heard that the top speed of the 2024 is 280klms.
Thanks for that - do you like the look of the new one? Plenty of owners of the existing model aren’t so sure!
@@therightcar what Hyundai i30 misses is the ability to have small driving lights. I drive a lot a night with no options for better lighting
N grin shift is a boost function in the auto and the button is rev matching in the 6 speed. Just an fyi
Was about to say this.

This or the cupra Leon vzx? Or nor $ for a bmw 2 series
I would wait for the updated hatch version of this coming later this year
I picked the I30 sedan

I absolutely hate the redesign and will be keeping my 2022 for quite a while longer.
Wow! Strong take. Good for you!

ofc you'd hate it if you have an old car lmaoo

Deffo wait for new Kia Cerato. It looks mean and could be as luxurious as genesis cars.
SEDAN all day

Good one mate ...but really what take up on theses please get real again.
A good car if you don't want to keep your licence.😊
Safe speeding. It’s a thing…. Right?
@@therightcar So they say.
You can go over the limit in any car...its called being in control.
One day I'll be first.
GTI is still the best bang for your buck.
They're all priced samed, but this will dog walk gti in every category.
Small car?
According to the official categorisation it is.
@@therightcar I'm not doubting you guys but for example, the Kia Picanto also has the small car categorisation.😀 The differences in length, width and weight are substantial.
52 thousand US?
52k AUD - US pricing $34,850
It's a front wheel drive. Nuff said.......
