Hyundai i30 N Generations
The first-generation Hyundai i30 N was produced from 2017 to 2020 as a Hatchback 5-door. Its four versions comprise a 250 hp 2.0 MT, a 275 hp 2.0 MT, a 275 hp 2.0 e-CVVT F, and a 275 hp 2.0 e-CVVT H.
The first generation was restyled in 2020 and remains listed without an end date. The restyled Hyundai i30 N is also a Hatchback 5-door and has three versions: a 249 hp 2.0 MT, a 280 hp 2.0 MT, and a 280 hp 2.0 DCT. Thus, the restyling belongs to the same first generation rather than representing a second generation.

Hyundai i30 N Problems and Reliability
Engine problems and reliability records are not measured in the supplied data. The data therefore cannot support claims about common faults, maintenance costs, engine longevity, or the relative reliability of the Manual and Robotic gearboxes.
Which Hyundai i30 N Version to Choose?
For the quickest measured acceleration, the restyled 2.0 DCT is the clear choice. Its 280 hp and 400 Nm exceed the original 275 hp 2.0 e-CVVT versions by 5 hp and 39 Nm, while its 5.4-second 0–100 km/h time is 0.7 seconds quicker. It is also 0.7 seconds quicker than the restyled 280 hp 2.0 MT, despite matching its power output.
Drivers who want a Manual gearbox can choose between several output levels. The restyled 280 hp 2.0 MT has 30 hp more than the original 250 hp 2.0 MT and completes 0–100 km/h 0.3 seconds sooner. The original 275 hp 2.0 e-CVVT F and 2.0 e-CVVT H each produce 361 Nm, which is 8 Nm more than the original 275 hp 2.0 MT, although all three record the same 6.1-second acceleration time.
For the lowest measured combined consumption, the restyled 249 hp 2.0 MT records 7.4 L/100 km, which is 0.4 L/100 km lower than the original 275 hp 2.0 MT and 1.0 L/100 km lower than the restyled 2.0 DCT. Among versions with city and highway figures but no combined figure, the 2.0 e-CVVT H records 9.7 L/100 km in the city and 5.7 L/100 km on the highway, both lower than the corresponding figures for the 2.0 e-CVVT F.
The lightest listed Hyundai i30 N is the original 250 hp 2.0 MT at 1,450 kg. The restyled 2.0 DCT is 5 kg heavier at 1,455 kg, while the original 2.0 e-CVVT F is the heaviest at 1,520 kg.
