Tires on Hyundai i30 Sedan N (Хуундаи)

The Hyundai i30 Sedan N appeared in the production range of the Korean brand in 2021. The compact sedan is a "charged" version of the Elantra with the CN7 index, which, like the standard model, is intended for the markets of Asian and Oceanian countries. The concept of the car is based on a combination of a practical 4-door body and technical components from the sports track cars of the "Hyundai N" division. The version not only received a boosted engine and a different transmission but also a completely redesigned chassis, an electronically controlled differential, and body elements that optimize aerodynamics. The development was carried out with the participation of the engineering center in Nürburgring, and the former head of the BMW M division, Albert Biermann, took part in the tuning of the suspension.

Features of the power unit

The main difference from civilian versions was the 2.0-liter turbocharged Theta II engine. The gasoline "four" develops 280 horsepower and 392 Nm, and the maximum torque is available from approximately 2100 rpm. For short-term acceleration, the N Grin Shift function is provided, which increases the boost pressure and increases the power to 290 horsepower for 20 seconds.

In its basic version, the sedan is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission with an automatic rev-matching system. An alternative is an 8-speed "robot" with two "wet" clutches. It is with the latter that the car demonstrates the fastest acceleration to "hundred" - 5.3 seconds. Compared to the standard, where atmospheric engines 1.6 MPI or low-power turbo engines are more often used, the N version is perceived completely differently even in city mode. The responses to the accelerator pedal have become much sharper, and the exhaust system with active valves has a characteristic "shot" when switching gears.

Chassis

The sedan also differs in terms of the chassis, most of which was taken from other N-line models - reinforced front suspension mounts, additional body stiffeners, "sports" electric power steering, electronically controlled shock absorbers in the rear multi-link suspension. One of the key elements was the e-LSD differential. With it, the N-version more actively redistributes torque between the wheels and allows earlier opening of the gas on exit from the turn. On the track, this noticeably reduces the insufficient maneuverability characteristic of powerful front-wheel drive models. The braking system also differs radically. 360 mm discs are installed in front, and 314 mm - behind. Additionally, enlarged brake cooling air ducts are provided. For intensive use on a racing track, this is critically important: even after several fast laps, the pedal retains its informativeness and stable effort. The drive mode selection system includes Eco, Normal, Sport, and Individual settings. In the most aggressive mode, the algorithms of the transmission, the stiffness of the shock absorbers, the effort on the steering wheel, and the sensitivity of the gas pedal change. In essence, the same car can be used both as a calm city sedan and a full-fledged track tool.

Aerodynamics and visual differences from the standard sedan

Externally, the model differs from the civilian version much stronger than many competitors in the segment. The front bumper has enlarged air intakes, a redesigned splitter, and additional aerodynamic elements. At the back, there is a large diffuser with integrated exhaust pipes and a stationary wing. The extended sills and the different shape of the rear bumper deserve separate attention. These details not only make the silhouette more aggressive visually but also improve stability at high speeds. The downforce coefficient turned out to be noticeably higher than that of the standard sedan.

Interior with an emphasis on the driver

The N-version's salon is significantly different from the ordinary sedan. The front sports seats have developed lateral support, integrated headrests, and logo N backlight. In expensive versions, combined leather and Alcantara trim is used. In front of the driver, there is a digital instrument panel with a diagonal of 10.25 inches, and the multimedia system has a similar 10.25-inch display. The interface is supplemented with special menus that display oil temperature, turbo pressure, overload, and lap time. Such functions are usually found in significantly more expensive sports models. Compared to the standard i30 Sedan, the noise insulation has also improved, which passes the characteristic sound of the exhaust system. This is part of the overall concept. Even in the standard mode, the engine sounds much more emotional than most turbocharged sedans of the same class.

Practicality in everyday use

Despite the pronounced sports character, the car has retained the practicality of a regular 4-door sedan. The trunk volume exceeds 460 liters, and the rear row remains sufficiently spacious even for tall passengers. For everyday use, this is an important advantage over compact hot hatches. When driving calmly, the adaptive suspension switches to a relatively soft mode, and the robotized transmission tries to maintain low engine speeds. As a result, the sedan does not get tired in city traffic jams. This is largely due to the use of 19-inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in the "factory" configuration. This solution directly affects handling, making the suspension noticeably harder on poor surfaces, but keeping the car's ride sufficiently smooth. The assortment of the "Mosavtoshina" online store allows you to choose kits that are suitable for both everyday use and racing tracks.
