Powering the latest addition to Hyundai’s burgeoning N range is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 276 hp (206 kW) and 289 lb-ft (392 Nm) of torque. It is compatible with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As with other N models, i30 Sedan Ns equipped with the dual-clutch include Hyundai’s N Grin Shift, N Power Shift, and N Track Sense Shift functions. The gearbox also includes a ‘Creep Off’ function that helps to mimic the feeling of a traditional torque converter at slow speeds.
