Hyundai introduces the N Line trim grade

Following the recent launch of its rapid i30 N, Hyundai has unveiled the five-door i30 N Line.

Essentially, this new addition to the range combines sporty looks, some chassis upgrades and a choice of non-tuned engines (to keep running costs down). Such a recipe has already proven successful for other manufacturers, as evidenced by BMW’s M Sport and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG Line variants, for example.

Accordingly, the i30 N Line features 18” alloy wheels, unique bumpers and a bespoke leather-covered steering wheel. More supportive front seats are available, too.

To help deliver a better driving experience, the suspension set-up has been recalibrated and larger 16” front brake discs are fitted. While the engine line-up comprises fairly modest 138 bhp (103 kW / 140 PS) 1.4 litre petrol and 134 bhp (100 kW / 136 PS) 1.6 litre diesel units, throttle response is claimed to be sharper than usual.

Hyundai i30 N Line deliveries are due to begin across Europe very soon.

Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...
