Hyundai UK has officially announced pricing and specification of the latest model in its i30 range –  the N Line.

The new spec is designed to ape some of the high-performance looks of the i30 N hot hatch, while providing running costs that are less likely to make your eyes water – its 0-62 mph time of 8.9 seconds in six-speed manual guise isn't going to set the 'Ring on fire, but 48.7 mpg combined is a soothing balm in return.

Hyundai says that the N Line version of the family hatch brings some of the exterior styling of the i30 N, in the form of the front and rear bumper shared with N Line specific silver lower accents and N Line badging on the front wings. A twin exhaust, LED rear lamps and 18-inch Fastback design alloy wheels that come fitted with Michelin Pilot PS4 tyres complete the exterior.

In addition to performance styling, the i30 N Line models have also received changes to the mechanical setup – the suspension, brakes and engine response have been tweaked in order to enhance the driving experience over the more standard i30 models.

Inside, the car gets the sports seats and leather steering wheel from the i30 N and a fancy new N Line gear lever. Safety-wise, the N Line gets lane departure warning, lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking and hill start assist as standard, as well as an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that comes with DAB as well as Apple and Android connectivity. 

Prices will start from £21,255 for the i30 N Line 1.4 T-GDi 138 bhp 6 speed manual, which offers cloth sports seats with manual height adjustability to both passenger and driver’s side, with further electrical adjustability on the driver’s side. A black headlining and chrome effect exterior door handles also differentiate the N Line from other i30 models. Air conditioning, automatic dimming rear view mirror and privacy glass also feature as standard. The N Line is also available with a seven-speed DCT transmission.

From £23,255, the i30 N Line + 1.4 T-GDi 138 bhp six-speed manual builds on the N Line trim level by offering heated leather and suede sports seats with electrical adjustment to both driver and passenger sides, manual height adjustment and drivers side memory function and heated steering wheel. N Line + trim also includes dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, automatic rain sensing wipers, and an 8-inch touchscreen satnav. The N Line + is also available with a seven-speed DCT transmission.
