- Now this was a lot of fun to drive and review!
The newly refreshed i30 N.... and in particular this stunning Fastback N features Hyundai's latest 8 speed wet-type DCT semi-automatic. with 280 PS available from the 2.0 T-GDi petrol engine, this car has all of the key ingredients to make this a serious B-road blast!
The new 8 Speed DCT transmission can deliver a 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds when using Launch Control & Overboost.
When the first generation i30 N was launched back in early 2018, it quickly earned a badge for being a brilliant drivers car thanks to Hyundai making some serious investment into the N brand.
This latest iteration does not disappoint and in fact it drives as well as; if not better, than the Golf GTI Clubsport that I drove on the channel a few weeks back.
If power, handling and looks are on the shopping list, the N makes a lot of sense and what's more is it still comes with Hyundai's fantastic 5 year warranty!
Thank you to Hyundai UK PR & Press for the loan of the car.

I think this must be the only UK review I’ve seen of the FL Fastback N. Super lucky you got hold of one to review, I’ve read they’re on a ridiculously long waiting list to get shipped over to UK. (Although appear to be abundant in mainland Europe and Australia!) I’ve got a 2019 Fastback N which I’ve had about 4 months and it’s a joy. But I’d really like the FL at some point.
Thanks for watching Tweez 👍🏻
I was lucky to secure the car through Hyundai UK PR/Press. It's a very cool thing and a real drivers car!
Bought the FL shadow grey performance fastback a few months ago...I'm smiling every ride, this car is so awesome and fun! I simply love everything about it, the power, tech, exhaust, dct, it's such a joyride 😀
Clearly a big fan! Like the profile pic 👌🏻
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Awesome bro. Quick Q, what does FL mean?
@@Wiimaster. Face-lift, 2021 and on.
Great review, coming up to my third year with the Fastback and love it as much as I did the day I drove it out of the dealers.
Thanks for the kind feedback 🙏
It's a real drivers car. A lot of fun - top marks Hyundai.
Is yours the N version? Is it true that the engine is very thirsty?
@@francescocipullo3436 yeah they are fairly thirsty, doesn't help with a fairly small fuel tank, you end up filling up more often than you think.
@@CARfariPark The distance you have between yourself and the steering wheel needs to be closer. Not enough of a bend to your arm.
I ve got a 2018 I30N, it's the only car I test drove, bought without haggling and drove home the first day, it's that good! I ve got a Ram Air cone filter on it, Turbosmart Blow off valve (always wanted a car with a dump valve on since I was 17, I m now 44) RPM Performance Flexi pipe that increase the diameter of the exhaust from the front pipes down from the engine, give a few more bhp and louder pops and bangs also RPM Performance exhaust tips on. Such a great around car. LOVE IT!
Nice 👌🏻
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Thinking of a remap next ?
Greetings from Australia. I really like your review. I bought a i30 Fastback N last year and it’s an amazing car. I’d definitely look at the DCT i30 N when it’s time to buy again.
DCT is such a good setup for the UK because of all of the stop/start traffic. For those normal days just having the ability to run in Auto with the suspension slackened off makes the car easy to drive. Then for those weekend blasts, everything can be turned up to 11!
Great car and the facelifted exterior cosmetics are so good.
Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍🏻
Nice review and great car. How do you only have 448 subs?! Earned another sub, keep up the good work 👊
Thank you, I appreciate the support.
I've not been running very long, so it takes time to build a subscriber base but I'm taking it in my stride, hoping that by turning out good quality info and videography, I'll build with time.
Thanks again for watching! 👍🏻
This was amazing! 😊
Thank you!
The i30 is a lot of fun which made filming it a lot more interesting.
I appreciate the support, thanks for tuning in 👌🏻
Good and nice quality video....simple and yet informative on the important bits like its driving and handling characteristic....
Thank you for watching 👍🏻
Deffo earned a sub. Getting a hatch DCT in December cannot wait
Thank you for your support Joe!
You'll have some serious fun with the new car when it arrives 👌🏻
Thank you for the great review. As this is could be my 335d replacement. You have a new subscriber,
Thank you for your sub and kind feedback. Enjoy the N if you get one. They are a lot of fun and make a great noise.
Just Subscribed, I have ordered the Fastback N in Shadow Grey with the Panoramic Roof :)
Thanks for watching and subscribing Andy 👍🏻
Good choice Sir 👌🏻 love Shadow Grey on the new N's. Enjoy it!
Love your style and love this car, though am considering the i20n cos it costs less, one day maybe one of these 😊😊😊
Thank you Claudia. If you haven't viewed my i20 N review check it out. It is an absolutely brilliant car and whilst it's cheaper and less powerful, it makes up for the shortfall in character. It reminds me of cars from the late 80s and early 90s. A real blast to drive!
Hyundai are delivering some ace cars right now.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@CARfariPark I haven't driven either yet, only been a passenger in the i30n fastback, just normal driving, and I was blown away by its presence and how special it made me feel, I'm hooked! Yeah I think the i20n will extremely excellent! In a couple of weeks I get to test drive one 😎😎😎
They only mistake i was able to notice was, you said it has a Torque Vectoring Diff. which is incorrect, it has a mechanical diff. that's clutch operated by a computer, so basically an e-LSD.
Yes Peter, absolutely right. An error on my part. It is an e-LSD.
@@CARfariPark otherwise good video mate, cheers
Would you buy the golf Gti or the Hyundai i30n fastback ? Great content.
Hi Sergio, thanks for the positive feedback. Your question is a difficult one to answer as there are a number of contributing factors. If it was purely an emotional and driver engagement decision, then it would 100% be the i30, however if the purchase was heavily influenced by financial/total cost of ownership it would be a close call. VWs residual values are stronger, making the Golf more attractive on finance plans but then again Hyundai have the 5 year warranty. It would be a very difficult decision and you'll have seen I have driven both.
Both good cars. Buy the one you'd most like to see on your driveway and enjoy blasting around the countryside!
i so want this car but it not available in the US might have to move the UK for sure lol.
You'd have a nice car but rubbish weather, so constantly having to clean it. 😆
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What kind of camera is this ? I could be wrong but the video-work looks much more demanding than the usual 4k. Crispier or something like that, I donno.
Everything is filmed in 4K Raw, I then colour grade all of the footage in post. I use a combination of a Canon DSLR, Z-Cam, Insta 360 1-inch and a DJI drone.
The problem with all of that is, I have so many cases of gear but I enjoy the filming and editing as much as creating the review.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@CARfariPark Thanks I understand. Good job. You can't do such 6:50 scene with gopro. Everybody uses gopro and cellphone. Meh.
@@telelaci2 yes but sometimes simplicity is better as there's less to cart around and less editing.
I've got a review to complete on a car that barely has room for a person let alone camera equipment so I'm going to have to tame down the equipment list to probably the Insta & drone 😆
If one was to add roof racks onto these cars, do the "feet" of the car bolt onto specific fittings on the roof or do they require clamps on the side, often ruining the lines of the car?
Hi Chris, I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that with any accuracy. Looking online, it appears several owners have fitted roof bars to old model hatch and Fastback cars. They locate into the roof gutter, not clamped around the body. I would assume that the face-lift models would be the same but if in doubt ring your local Hyundai retailer.
Thank you for subscribing. 👍🏻
@@CARfariPark Much appreciated. I'll investigate further. Have a good day.
Would you go for this over the kona n?
I've driven the KONA N but not completed a review on it yet. I like the look of the KONA and it doesn't feel or drive like a typical CUV/SUV.
In reality it shares most of the i30 N components so it comes down to whether you prefer a small crossover style than a hatch or Fastback. The KONA is just less practical when it comes to passenger space and boot capacity.
If I were spending the money I would probably pick between the i20 N (and save some cash) or buy the more powerful i30. Both would be strong choice and a hoot to own.
Hope that helps.
Yeah I'd need to fit my fishing rods and golf clubs in on occasional weekends so practicality is what I'm after. Great review. Subscribed 👌
@@jamesbedford2853 I'd go with the Fastback then. It has really good size boot and I managed get all of my camera gear in it, which includes 3 large flight cases, a big holdall, drone case, two tripods, camera rucksack and carrier full of car cleaning gear. There was still room and that was without touching the parcel shelf or folding the seats.
