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.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
