How does the 2024 Hyundai i30 drive?
Our expert take on Hyundai i30 drivability.
Base models with the 120kW/203Nm (hatch) or 117kW/191Nm (sedan) 2.0-litre engine and six-speed transmissions are inoffensive motoring, with decent locally-sorted ride and handling balance – with one caveat being mediocre noise suppression.
The N-Line models have a multi-link rear suspension, 150kW and 265Nm turbo engines, and the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch auto with paddles, making them quite consummate warmed-up hatchbacks.
But the superstar models are the proper N cars, with their Nurburgring-honed tuning, adaptive dampers, multi-mode exhausts, massive brakes, LSDs, stiffening braces, variable steering and throttle modes, circuit maps, and track-ready driving modes that relax electronic driver aids.
These are the real-deal. And that's before mentioning the 206kW and 392Nm (more on over boost) turbo engine, and availability of either six-speed manual or new eight-speed DCT.

2024 Hyundai i30 vs other Small's to consider
The i30's strength lies in its diversity: there's almost something for everyone, save the lack of a wagon.
It's more spacious than a Toyota Corolla, and offers more performance from the option of 1.6 and 2.0-litre turbo engines. The Corolla counters by packing a frugal hybrid option, however.
Should you buy the 2024 Hyundai i30
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
From a cheap rental base to a track-honed dynamo, the range has you pretty covered. The only real missing areas are the lack of a hybrid to match the Corolla, and lack of a wagon.
