Hyundai shows its i30 N in a video just before its presentation

The next hatchback of the South Korean firm is here, but before its launch, Hyundai has shown, on video, the new i30 N. Just 15 seconds are enough to realize that this is not going to be just any Hyundai, and it is that We have been waiting for a sports compact from this brand for some time.

It will be launched this year, and the N surname underscores the sporty look of the model. It will not be alone, since an i20 N is also expected to arrive after the launch of this i30 N. This new variant for one of Hyundai's best-selling models will be the perfect rival for European GTIs, such as the Peugeot 308 GTI and the well-known Volkswagen Golf GTI.

In the video, although the i30 N is covered in camouflage paint, you can clearly see the rear diffuser and exhaust pipes, as well as the sound emanating from them. A sporty sound, nothing hoarse and with a slight backfire. Pleasant and successful.

The road tests have served to verify driving in the first Hyundai of the N sports series that our customers will be able to see »We have to be sure that in addition to being suitable for sporty driving, it is valid for day-to-day use.» said Albert Biermann, Vice President and Head of Testing at Hyundai.

With this new Hyundai i30 N, the South Korean brand will therefore have four variants of the model. Along with the sports version that we are talking about, the i30 N currently has a "normal" version, the i30, and a touring version, the i30 cw. Rumor has it that there is also a fastback-style five-door coupe version, which could launch later this year.

It is obvious that Hyundai is treating its i30 so that it becomes the best rival of the Volkswagen Golf, and without a doubt, with all these variants and now its sports version, they are gradually getting closer to the Germans.
