the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. The highly rigid and light body with 53 % Advanced High Strength
Steel delivers the base for good ride and handling characteristics and combined with a 10 % more direct
steering and a newly developed chassis the driver can enjoy dynamic driving abilities without
compromising high levels of comfort.

The powertrain line-up consists of downsized turbocharged engines to enhance efficiency and
responsiveness. Customers can choose from three petrol engines and one 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine
with three outputs with CO2 emissions as low as 89 g/km (target value). The New Generation i30 is the
first Hyundai model available with the new turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, the 1.4 T-GDI with
140 PS.

A Family of Cars

The New Generation i30 is more than just one model. It will become a family of four unique products
united by a timeless and balanced design coherent for every body type. The family offers the right car for
everyone - for the ones looking for elegance or the ones looking for exhilaration. The next member of the
family the i30 Wagon will be debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The New Generation i30 family
will feature the first high performance model under Hyundai Motor’s N brand going into production in 2017.

The European Success Story: Hyundai Motor’s DNA car for Europe

Designed in Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, produced in Nošovice, Czech
Republic, and tested on the Nürburgring, the third generation i30 is built on the infrastructure that Hyundai
Motor has developed over the last 25 years in Europe. It aims to continue the success of the two previous
generations of i30 that have sold more than 800,000 cars in Europe since 2008.

“The New Generation i30 is the most important car for Hyundai in Europe, supporting our objective to
become the number one Asian automotive brand,” says Thomas Schmid, Chief Operating Officer of
Hyundai Motor Europe. “With the New Generation i30 we want to continue our success story and achieve
further organic growth in the years to come.”

The New Generation i30 will be produced at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech in Nošovice, which
opened in 2008 and started production of the first generation i30 the same year. It has an annual
production capacity of 300,000 cars and fulfils highest quality standards to meet European customers’
expectations, enabling Hyundai Motor to deliver an industry-leading peace of mind package: a 5-year
unlimited mileage warranty.

02.     Coherent and Timeless Design

The New Generation i30 evolves Hyundai’s design language with a timeless and sculptural design
combining precise, tensed lines and refined rich surfaces. The combination of excellent functionality such
as roominess, good visibility and comfort is complimented by a sensuous and confident expression of
design. Hyundai Motor is introducing a new design element at the front: the Cascading Grille, which will
become the new family identity for Hyundai models in the future.

Exterior Design

The upright front of the new Generation i30 is confident and expressive, celebrating the new Cascading
Grille that is characterised by a downward tapering gesture inspired by the flow of molten steel. The grille
features chrome-plated dots for a sophisticated appearance that enhance the satin chrome surrounding
on the standard version. In combination with the three-projector LED (low and high beam) headlamps and
the vertical LED daytime running lights with indicator function, the New Generation i30 has a strong visual
presence. To further enhance this, projector-type front fog lamps are integrated into the air curtains.
With its harmonious proportions, short front and rear overhangs, a long bonnet and a tapered roof
silhouette, the car gets a sporty appearance and solid stance on the road. The New Generation i30
features a sophisticated sleek character line that flows naturally from the headlamp along the almost
horizontal belt line to connect with the LED rear lamps and further wraps around the rear for a timeless
appearance. The black rear spoiler enhances aerodynamics and makes the New Generation i30 look
even more dynamic and compact. With a Coefficient of Drag of only 0.30, Aerodynamic performance is
enhanced through several measures including an Active Air Flap behind the front grille and Air Curtains on
each side of the front bumper to enhance airflow and reduce turbulences in the wheel housing.

Its muscular wide rear design with a sculpted and 3-dimensional appearance and the signature light
graphic incorporating the high-positioned reflectors and fog lamps set the car apart on the road.

The New Generation Hyundai i30 is available with 17-inch two tone 10-spoke alloy wheels, 16-inch two-
tone 10-spoke alloy wheels or 15-inch alloy ro steel wheels.

In order for every customer to pick their favourite colour there are in total twelve exterior colours consisting
of three pearl choices: Stargazing Blue, Micron Gray, Phantom Black; and seven metallic choices:
Demitasse Brown, Intense Copper, Moon Rock, Fiery Red, Platinum Sliver, Ara Blue and White Sand plus
two solid choices: Engine Red and Polar White.

Interior Design

Getting into the New Generation Hyundai i30, customers are greeted by a clean and intuitive interior with
a horizontal layout that conveys an elegant impression and a feeling of roominess. Chrome surrounding
and high quality interior materials round up the calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The floating screen of
the optional eight-inch navigation touch screen on the dashboard integrates all navigation, media and
connectivity features and allows drivers to stay always tuned to the traffic ahead thanks to its ergonomic
position. The new multifunction three-spoke steering wheel allows easy and intuitive operation of all
functions through an ergonomically positioned operation controls and can be heated for enhanced
comfort. The climate and temperature control is positioned conveniently in the centre console and can be
easily operated through the dials without distracting the driver.

The New Generation i30 offers plenty of space for passengers and luggage alike and does not
compromise on interior roominess for its sporty exterior design. The i30 makes driving comfortable for all
passengers with segment-leading roominess. The feeling of space is enhanced by the optional panoramic
glass sunroof which allows to tilt or to slide open. While driving the armrest can slides forward for the most
comfortable position and may also be opened to access additional storage possibilities underneath. To
enable customers to carry everything they need, the New Generation i30 offers generous luggage
capacity of up to 395 litres (VDA 211) and a maximum of 1,301 litres with the seats folded flat. Practicality
is enhanced with a practical two-stage luggage board and a ski hatch in the rear centre seat.

For the interior, customers can choose from three colour options: Oceanids black with two different cloth
seat options or black leather seats, a two tone combination of Slate Grey and Oceanids black with cloth or
leather seats featuring diamond pattern or the two tone combination of elegant Indigo Blue and Oceanids
Black with leather seats.

For enhanced comfort the front seats can be heated or cooled in three stages. When customer choose
power seats the front seats can be adjusted in 10-ways including lumber support additionally the driver
seat now features a memory function with two programmable seat positions..
03.     Driving Performance

Choice of Powertrains

The New Generation i30 is powered by a range of small-displacement turbo charged petrol and diesel
engines delivering a dynamic and efficient driving experience. There are three petrol engines and one
diesel engine. All engines come standard with Integrated Stop and Go (ISG) system for increased
efficiency. Customers can choose between the new 1.4 T-GDI turbocharged four cylinder engine – a
Hyundai first - with 140 PS, the 1.0 T-GDI turbocharged three cylinder engine with 120 PS or the 1.4 MPI
four cylinder with 100 PS and one diesel engine: the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine,
available with three power outputs: 95, 110 and 136 PS and fuel consumption and CO2 emissions starting
from as low as 3.4 l/100 km* and 89 g/km*. Mated to the engines is either the six-speed manual
transmission (6MT) or Hyundai’s efficient and direct-responding seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
(7DCT).

New 1.4 T-GDI – Light, Frugal and Fun to Drive

The 1,353 cc four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine is significantly lighter than its predecessor, the
Gamma 1.4-litre engine. The unit’s base weight has been reduced by 14 kg and it also boasts greater
efficiency and power, delivering 140 PS and 242 Nm of torque with fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
as low as 4.8 l/100 km* and 109 g/km*.

The new engine incorporates a high-pressure single-scroll turbocharger integrated in the exhaust manifold
to improve operational efficiency. The relocated and re-engineered turbo means throttle response time
and low-end torque have improved. The new design injects fuel directly inside the cylinder, improving
combustion rates for better power and fuel efficiency.

The new, turbocharged 1.4-litre T-GDI petrol engine is offered with the 6MT or the 7DCT, which gives a
choice of fully automatic operation or manual gear changes.

The 1.0 T-GDI – Three-Cylinder Dynamism

The 1.0 T-GDI engine, developed by the Namyang Technical Centre in Korea in collaboration with the
European Technical Centre in Germany, with 120 PS and 171 Nm provides a perfect combination of
dynamism and efficiency with fuel consumption and CO2 starting from as low as 4.5 l/100 km* and 103
g/km*.

A turbocharger with an electronically-controlled waste-gate actuator improves fuel efficiency by lowering
pumping losses as well as improving throttle response and low-end torque. The unit features a six-hole
GDI injector, pressured to a higher-than-average 200 bar, securing a clean combustion and improving fuel
economy and emissions.

To keep the engine unit as small as possible, the exhaust manifold is integrated in the cylinder head and
can therefore be cooled efficiently using the cylinder head water-cooling system. These efforts result in
faster warm-up of the catalyst and ultimately in improved real-world fuel consumption and emissions.

The 1.0 T-GDI is offered with the 6MT.
1.6-litre Turbo Diesel: One Engine, Three Outputs

For customers looking for a diesel engine, the New Generation Hyundai i30 is offered with a 1.6-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder turbo engine with three outputs: the ‘standard power’ version with 95 PS, the
‘mid power’ version with 110 PS and the ‘high power’ version with 136 PS, delivering a maximum torque of
280 Nm or 300 Nm (‘high power’ version with DCT). Both the mid power and high power version can be
selected with the 6MT or 7DCT.

The Seven-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission

Hyundai Motor introduced its first seven-speed double-clutch transmission in 2015, combining the benefits
of automated and manual transmissions. The 7DCT provides an improvement in fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions of up to 20 % compared to a conventional six-gear automated transmission, while
acceleration performance could be increased by up to 10 %.

The 7DCT consists of two dry clutches and an actuator for each clutch. Engine power is transferred
independently into the odd and even gear train to always be ready to shift into the next gear without any
torque interruption. For optimised responsiveness the electric motor-driven actuator is applied, while
external dampers improve the noise, vibration and harshness during driving.

In combination with the 7-speed dual clutch transmission the New Generation i30 offers two drive modes:
normal and sport.In sport mode there is a different shift pattern holding gears longer before shifting, the
steering provides a sporty feel and the throttle response is adapted.

*Based on NEDC Test Cycle. Fuel Consumption and emission values vary depending on tire size and
transmission type.

Ride and Handling

The New Generation i30 has been developed and tested in Europe performing accelerated durability tests
and dynamic testing on the most demanding race track in the world, the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife,
as well as undergoing rigorous public-road testing throughout Europe from the coldest winter testing
conditions in Sweden to trailer testing in the Alps and hot weather testing in the south of Spain to ensure
that the high expectations of European customers are met.

The development engineers have defined the characteristics of the New Generation i30; precise, natural
and connected steering; agile, responsive and predictable handling; a dynamic ride without compromising
comfort with good body control. Compared to its predecessor the motor-driven power steering is 10 %
more direct and the vehicle response is 15 milliseconds faster.

The new chassis of the New Generation i30 has been completely reworked to provide a dynamic and
compliant driving experience with high levels of ride comfort. Contributing to this is the standard multi-link
rear suspension for all versions with a dual lower arm and the performance-oriented shock absorbers.

Braking performance is optimised by an increased brake diameter size to 288 mm in the front allowing the
driver to apply a stronger braking force especially in hot wheel conditions.

Strong and Lightweight Body: 53 % Advanced High-Strength Steel

Hyundai Motor is the only car manufacturer to make its own steel for the production of its vehicles globally
with great benefits for the New Generation i30 featuring a strong and light body that enhances the
dynamic performance and increases passenger safety.
The quantity of Advanced High Strength Steel has almost doubled to 53 % while at the same time
reducing the weight of the body-in-white by 28 kg and increasing rigidity by 22 % in comparison to its
predecessor. In production, the structural adhesives length has been increased to 112 m, improving
stiffness while reducing weight.

04.     Connected and Caring
Smart connectivity features that most customers require make the New Generation i30 a smart, rewarding
choice. Customers can choose between the standard premium audio system with a five-inch capacitive
LCD touch screen with integrated dynamic rear-view camera, Bluetooth connectivity and My Music
functionality or the optional new generation navigation system with an eight-inch capacitive touch screen.
For drivers who want to connect their smartphones with the eight-inch navigation system the New
Generation i30 provides both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both systems enable users to connect
their devices to deliver and control music, telephone or navigation functions on-screen. Seamless
connectivity allows drivers and passengers to stay connected while remaining focused on the road. To
ensure that occupants’ phones are always charged, the New Generation i30 also offers a wireless
inductive charging pad (Qi standard) for mobile phones and a USB port located in the closed centre
console.

The new navigation system comes with a seven-year free subscription to LIVE services. LIVE Services
offer updated information in real time: weather, traffic, speed cameras and online searches for points of
interest. The navigation system features 3D maps and is capable to display photos if you connect an USB
stick.

Highest Active Safety

The New Generation i30 features the latest active safety features to comply with the highest European
safety standards: Autonomous Emergency Braking with Front Collision Warning System (standard), Smart
Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping Assist System (standard),
Speed Limit Information Function and High Beam Assist (standard). New to the Hyundai line-up is the
Driver Attention Alert (standard) giving the New Generation i30 all available active safety features
available for Hyundai Motor vehicles and making it the car with the most advanced safety package and the
longest list of standard active safety features in its class.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection.

The i30 is also fitted with AEB including Front Collision Warning System (FCWS) and pedestrian
detection, an advanced active safety feature that alerts drivers to emergency situations, braking
autonomously if required. Using front radar and camera sensors, AEB operates in three stages. Initially
warning the driver visually and acoustically, it controls the brake according to the collision danger stage,
and applies maximum braking force right before the to avoid a collision or minimise damage when a
collision is unavoidable.When a vehicle or pedestrian is sensed in front of the car, the system is activated,
operating at speeds of 10 km/h or above.

Driver Attention Alert (DAA)

First in a Hyundai Motor vehicle is the Driver Attention Alert, a driver protection feature which helps
monitor driving patterns in order to detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents. The
system analyses various vehicle signals such as steering angle, steering torque, vehicle’s position in the
lane and driving time. In addition, the driver can adjust a user-selectable setting for the system’s sensitivity.
If the system detects inattentive driving patterns an audible sound and message on the instrument display
panel will alert the driver.
Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC)

Using front radar sensors, ASCC keeps a constant speed and distance from the vehicle ahead by
automatically accelerating and braking. If the traffic comes to a halt, the system applies the brake until the
car comes to a stand still and accelerates to the desired speed as soon as the road is clear. If the vehicle
stops for longer than three seconds the driver has to activate the system again by the steering wheel
controls or by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal. The system operates from 0 to 180 km/h.

Blind Spot Detector (BSD)

Also using radar technology, the Blind Spot Detector (BSD) with Lane Change Assist monitors the rear
corners and, if another vehicle is detected, a visual alert appears on the exterior mirrors. If the driver then
activates the indicators an audible signal is emitted. This also applies for a lane change situation when
another vehicle is detected.

Rear-Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

Using the BSD sensors the RCTA system reduces the risk of collision with approaching traffic when
reversing out of narrow areas with low visibility. Using a radar to scan a 180-degree area behind the
vehicle for approaching cross-traffic, RCTA alerts the driver visually and acoustically.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

The LKAS alerts the driver in unsafe movements at over 60 km/h by sensing the car’s position. The LDWS
sounds an alarm before the car moves over white, grey and blue lines as well as Bott’s dots on the road,
while the LKAS warns the driver acoustically and visually before inducing corrective steering to guide the
driver back to a safe position.

Speed Limit Information Function (SLIF)

The SLIF uses the front camera and information from the navigation system to identify road speed signs
and display the speed limit in real time. The information is displayed both in the navigation system display
as well as in the TFT cluster.

High Beam Assist (HBA)

When switched to automatic mode, HBA detects both oncoming vehicles and vehicles in the same lane
ahead at night and changes to low-beam as appropriate, reducing blinding effects on other drivers.
Whenever there are no vehicles detected, the system automatically re-activates the high beams,
maximising the driver’s range of vision.

Highest Passive Safety

Featuring 53 % Advanced High Strength Steel, the New Generation i30 benefits from increased rigidity by
22 % and a high impact energy absorption and minimised distortion to protect passengers in the event of
a collision.

Thanks to an improved hot stamping method, the side outer reinforcement of the New Generation i30 is
manufactured as one single component. Previously, there were five combined components. The
completely new technology reduces weight by 4.1 kg and increases rigidity and impact energy absorption.
Around the interior of the New Generation i30, a total of seven airbags are installed, including a knee
airbag for the driver. Beside the six standard airbags (2 front airbags, two side airbags to curtain airbags
from first to second row protecting both driver and passengers), the knee airbag is an additional safety
feature for the driver in the event of a front collision.

New Generation Hyundai i30 Wagon: elegance meets versatility
       The New Generation i30 Wagon celebrates its world premiere at the 2017 Geneva International
        Motor Show during the Hyundai press conference (8:15 am CET, 7 March 2017)
       New wagon body style will be the next member in the i30 family launched across Europe in
        summer, following launch of five-door version
       Timeless design of i30 is enhanced by versatile and elegant form of wagon

March 7, 2017 – This year’s Geneva International Motor Show is the stage for the unveiling of the New
Generation Hyundai i30 Wagon. The new member of the i30 family maintains the timeless design of its
five-door sibling, adding elegance and versatility in its body style. The i30 Wagon will be launched across
Europe in summer.

“Designed, developed, tested and manufactured in Europe, the New Generation Hyundai i30 is Hyundai
Motor’s DNA car in Europe,” says Thomas A. Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe.
“The i30 was created as the new people’s car. It is more than a model – it is a family of cars consisting of
four body types, each with a unique character, and united by a coherent, timeless design. With the new
i30 Wagon we are now introducing the next body type, offering elegance and versatility for everyone.”

“The New Generation i30 Wagon speaks the language of the i30 family in terms of design, and it carries
the new Hyundai family identity - the Cascading Grille,” explains Thomas Bürkle, Chief Designer at
Hyundai Design Centre Europe. “The tapering roofline and dynamic proportions give the Wagon an almost
coupé-like silhouette. The sleek and dynamic profile is further emphasised by a rich chrome frame
surrounding the side windows.”

In combination with the full-LED headlamps and the vertical LED daytime running lights, the New
Generation i30 Wagon has a strong visual presence.

High versatility with one of the biggest boots in the segment

The i30 Wagon’s sleek design does not compromise boot space: with 602 litres of space (VDA 211) and
1,650 litres (VDA 214) with the seats folded, it has one of the biggest boots in the segment. Versatility is
further enhanced by the additional storage space beneath the boot floor with several compartments.

The overall length of the wagon is 4,585 mm (5-door version: 4,340 mm) and the height is 1,465 mm
(1,475 mm with roof rack). The overall width of 1,795 mm and wheelbase of 2,650 mm are the same as in
the five-door version.
Best-in-class standard safety package

Hyundai Motor democratises technology by offering the latest active safety and connectivity features for
the New Generation i30 Wagon. The i30 offers best-in-class standard active safety, with Autonomous
Emergency Braking, Driver Attention Alert, High Beam Assist and Lane Keeping Assist System always on
board.

Using camera sensors, the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) fitted in the i30 operates in three
stages. After initially warning the driver visually and acoustically, it then controls the brake according to the
collision danger stage and applies maximum braking force to avoid a collision or minimise damage when a
collision is unavoidable. The optional pedestrian recognition uses a front radar and avoids or mitigates the
consequence of an impact with a pedestrian.

Driver Attention Alert (DAA) is a driver protection feature that helps monitor driving patterns in order to
detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents.

Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) keeps a constant speed and distance from the vehicle ahead by
automatically accelerating and braking up to 180 km/h. If the traffic comes to a halt, the system applies the
brake until the car comes to a standstill and accelerates to the desired speed as soon as the road is clear.

The Blind Spot Detector (BSD) with Lane Change Assist monitors the rear corners and, if another vehicle
is detected, a visual alert appears on the exterior mirrors.

The Rear-Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system reduces the risk of collision with approaching traffic when
reversing out of narrow areas with low visibility by alerting the driver visually and acoustically.

The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) alerts the driver about unsafe movements at speeds over 60
km/h by sensing the car’s position. It warns the driver acoustically and visually before inducing corrective
steering to guide the driver back to a safe position.

The Speed Limit Information Function (SLIF) identifies road speed signs and displays the speed limit in
real time. The information is shown both in the navigation system display as well as in the TFT cluster.

A High Beam Assist (HBA) detects both oncoming vehicles and vehicles in the same lane ahead at night
and changes to low-beam lights as appropriate, thereby reducing blinding effects on other drivers.
Whenever there are no vehicles detected, HBA automatically re-activates the high beams, maximising the
driver’s range of vision.

Smart and connected

The i30 Wagon offers customers a spacious and elegant interior with a horizontal layout and free-floating
screen for the infotainment system. The eight-inch touch screen of the new-generation navigation system
offers state-of-the-art connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and LIVE Services. A
wireless charging system for smartphones with the Qi standard is available as well. As an alternative,
customers can choose between different audio options, including the audio system with a five-inch
capacitive LCD touch screen with integrated dynamic rear-view camera, Bluetooth connectivity and My
Music functionality.

Dynamic and efficient powertrains

The powertrain line-up of the i30 Wagon consists of downsized turbocharged engines that enhance
efficiency and responsiveness. Customers can choose from three petrol engines and one 1.6-litre turbo
diesel engine featuring two power outputs (110 or 136 PS).

The Wagon is available with Hyundai’s all-new turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, the 1.4 T-GDi
which delivers a maximum power of 140 PS (Fuel consumption combined: 5.5 – 5.0 l/100 km; urban: 6.7 –
6.0 l/100 km; extra-urban: 5.0 - 4.6 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 129 - 114 g/km*). The new three-
cylinder 1.0 T-GDi delivers maximum power of 120 PS (Fuel consumption combined: 5.2 – 4.9 l/100 km;
urban: 6.0 – 5.9 l/100 km; extra-urban: 4.6 - 4.4 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 120 - 115 g/km*).

Driving dynamics

The engineers of Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Centre in Germany enhanced the driving dynamics of
the New Generation i30 in a rigorous testing programme throughout Europe and on the famous
Nürburgring Nordschleife. The highly rigid and light body with 53% Advanced High Strength Steel provides
the basis for good ride and handling characteristics, and the fact that it is combined with 10% more direct
steering and a newly developed chassis means the driver can enjoy dynamic driving together with high
levels of comfort.

Made in Europe

Designed in Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Centre in Rüsselsheim, produced in Nošovice, Czech
Republic, and tested on the Nürburgring, the third-generation i30 family is built on the infrastructure that
Hyundai Motor has developed over the last 25 years in Europe. It aims to continue the success of the two
previous generations of i30, which have sold more than 800,000 cars in Europe since 2008.

01       Exhilarating driving pleasure for everyone – the Hyundai i30 N

        The i30 N marks a new era for Hyundai Motor – introducing the first high-performance model
         under the N line up, built to deliver exhilarating driving pleasure for everyone
        N was born in Namyang and honed at the Nürburgring. The ‘N’ symbolises a chicane, the
         essence of Hyundai Motor’s high-performance car development
        High power: the four-cylinder 2.0-litre T-GDI turbo engine delivers up to 275 PS and 353 Nm
         torque with high responsiveness and linear power output
        High-performance features: Electronic Limited Slip Differential, Electronic Controlled Suspension,
         Rev Matching, Launch Control, high-performance tyres, lap timer, and more
        High level of customisation: five different drive modes, including the N and N Custom modes, offer
         variety of different configurations from comfort-oriented daily commuting to race track
         performance
        Emotional sound thanks to a variable exhaust valve system
        True performance design: aggressive front and rear bumpers with larger air intakes and red
         character line, aerodynamic rear spoiler with triangular brake light, dual muffler exhaust, 18- and
         19-inch wheels, sport seats, Performance Blue exterior colour inspired by Hyundai Motorsport

The i30 N is Hyundai Motor’s first high-performance car under the N line up. Built on the New Generation
i30, the i30 N has been developed from the ground up to deliver maximum driving pleasure in everyday
life on the road, as well as on the track. N was born in Namyang, at Hyundai Motor’s global R&D Centre in
Korea, and honed at the Nürburgring, one of the most challenging race tracks in the world and home of
Hyundai’s Testing Center. The N logo symbolises a chicane, the ultimate corner where the i30 N has been
tested thoroughly and has proven its ability. The i30 N is inspired by Hyundai Motorsport’s experience in
WRC since 2014.

“The Hyundai i30 N has been developed for no other purpose than to deliver maximum driving fun to our
customers in an accessible high-performance package,” says Albert Biermann, Executive Vice President
Performance Development and High Performance Vehicle Division. “With the high-performance N models
we will enhance our brand’s appeal with emotional products that cater to the needs of people who love to
have a smile on their face when they drive their car on a winding road and listen to the sound of the
engine. That’s why we measure high-performance in BPM, heart beats per minute instead of only RPM.”

The i30 N is Hyundai Motor’s answer to emerging customer preferences towards uncompromising
innovation and technology-driven performance. Due to be launched across Europe by the end of 2017,
the All-New i30 N is made for people to experience a contented grin when driving a performance car. Part
of the i30 range, the i30 N sports a unique character and coherent, timeless design – including the
Cascading Grille at the front, the new Hyundai signature, which is characterised by a downward tapering

The i30 N has been developed on the basis of three corner stones under the theme ‘Fun to Drive’: Corner
Rascal, Everyday Sports Car and Race Track Capability.

The i30 N has been developed to make the driver’s heart beat faster when he or she gets behind the
wheel. Instead of focusing on pure numbers, Hyundai Motor has chosen to emphasise driving pleasure
and the emotional impact on the driver’s heartbeats per minute (BPM), rather than simply measuring revs
per minute (RPM). When the driver hits the throttle and shifts through the gears, the Rev matching
function supports smooth gear shifting, while the overboost function increases torque (+8%) and
acceleration (+6-7%). The feeling is enhanced by the car’s emotional sound from the dual muffler exhaust
featuring the variable exhaust valve system. The cockpit of the i30 N shows key performance parameters
through the new instrument cluster and the 8-inch free-floating screen’s modes such as the G-Force meter
for live tracking of the performance.

The design is based on true high-performance vehicles and includes Hyundai’s Cascading Grille at the
front, aggressive-looking front and rear bumpers, and a new rear spoiler. According to the principle “form
follows function”, the car design enhances aerodynamic and cooling performance. Its operation focuses
on the pure connection between the car and the driver. The i30 N is built around the driver for maximum
responsiveness, balanced performance and fun to drive.

Corner Rascal

The i30 N loves corners. The N logo symbolises a chicane, the ultimate part of the track where the i30 N
achieves maximum traction, precision and feeling. The powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivers up
to 275 PS and 353 Nm torque. It offers direct response with a linear power development through the early
responding turbo charger. It features front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission.

The i30 N’s maximum grip is guaranteed by the 18-inch Michelin or 19-inch Pirelli high-performance
Hyundai N tyres. The rack-mounted motor-driven power steering is very direct and offers high precision.
The lowered body is rigid and in combination with the Electronic Controlled Suspension (ECS) reduces roll
and enhances cornering speed, enabling the driver to adjust the dampers from comfort-oriented daily
commuting to high-performance track-driving.

The i30 N is aerodynamically designed to reduce lift to keep the body firmly on to the road when maximum
traction is required. The Electronic Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD) enhances grip and delivers maximum
power to the road. For the real enthusiasts the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can be switched off
completely for maximum freedom. In order to give the driver and passenger the maximum comfort, the
exclusively developed N sport seats offer maximum stability and lateral support in all driving situations.

Everyday Sports Car

The i30 N is an everyday sports car, suitable for daily commuting in comfort on weekdays or for race track
performance on the weekend. By offering a great variety of customisation options, the i30 N is a well-
balanced hatchback, offering performance and practicality to create the best feeling for the driver. There
are five drive modes, including Eco, Normal, Sport, N and N Custom settings, which can be selected by
using two dedicated buttons on the steering wheel. The different modes change the character of the car,
adjusting the high-performance parameters of the engine, the dampers, Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
Electronic Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD), sound, steering and Rev matching. Additionally, the driver can
select the Rev matching button on the steering wheel to increase the revs on the engine when shifting
from a higher to a lower gear, while the car’s Launch Control helps to launch the car as easy as possible
by controlling engine torque.

Race Track Capability

In the development of the vehicle, durability and racetrack performance were key elements. The i30 N has
undergone 10,000 km of driving on the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring circuit for durability testing. The
car has also taken part twice in the world’s toughest endurance test, the ADAC 24-hours race on the
Nürburgring. The engine and its components have been tested for total vehicle evaluation in 2016 and for
ensuring its overall race track capability in 2017. Thus, when taking the i30 N to a track day, the driver can
be sure that the car’s performance will endure. Its brakes have been developed to last with an extra
cooling function through the air intakes on the front bumper. The Electronic Controlled Suspension (ECS)
allows the driver to adjust the i30 N to best suit a race track’s requirements. The body’s high rigidity is
increased by the rear stiffness bar behind the rear seats. The car features a strong clutch that is built to
last, while the precise six-speed manual transmission has short travel to enhance fast shifting.

02       Hyundai Motor N line up: born in Namyang, honed at the Nürburgring

The Hyundai i30 N is Hyundai Motor’s first high-performance model under the N line up. The ‘N’ stands for
Namyang, Hyundai Motor’s global R&D Centre in Korea, where the idea was born, and for the
Nürburgring, home to Hyundai Motor’s European Test Centre, where the N line upwas further developed
and tested. The close connection between Namyang and Nürburgring created the foundation for N, the
goal being to deliver driving enjoyment. Symbolising a chicane, the ‘N’ logo embodies this aspect – an
agile vehicle that is fun to drive – and represents the ultimate driving experience on winding roads.

Inspired by Motorsport - the proven track record of Hyundai

Born at the start of 2013 and based in Alzenau, Germany, Hyundai Motorsport was set up to develop a
long-term motor sport programme that demonstrates the emotion and engineering which Hyundai puts into
its cars. For the last four years Hyundai Motorsport has participated successfully in the FIA World Rally
Championship (WRC), regarded as one of the most challenging and diverse motor sport disciplines:

2013: Launch of i20 WRC.

2014:
   -     Re-entry to the World Rally Championship
   -     With i20 WRC Hyundai Motorsport takes four podiums and finishes WRC in fourth position in the
         manufacturer standings.

2015:
   -     Launch of the Hyundai high performance N line up at Frankfurt Motorshow with the concept cars
         N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo and RM15.
     -   Hyundai takes four podiums and finishes WRC in third position.

2016:
   -     Launch of high-performance racing concepts RM16 at Busan Motor Show and RN30 at Paris
         Motor Show.
     -   Hyundai takes seven podiums and finishes WRC in second position.

2017:
   -     The dawn of a new era in the sport with the introduction of new technical regulations resulting in
         more distinctive, powerful and dramatic-looking WRC cars.
     -   Launch of Hyundai’s first mass-produced high-performance car i30 N.
     -   Hyundai takes six podiums in half of the season and currently ranks second in WRC drivers and
         team rankings.

Hyundai’s high-performance concepts have been derived during the development of WRC cars. That is
why the WRC is considered to be the cradle of the N line up, thus for the i30 N. During the races, with cars
competing on roads of gravel, tarmac, snow and ice, the Hyundai Motor engineers identify further
refinement and potential performance enhancements for the i30 N.

Nürburgring Testing Center

The Nürburgring Nordschleife was and continues to be used to hone N’s high-performance technologies.
This year, the iconic Nürburgring race track turns 90 and is known as one of the world’s most challenging
race tracks. With 73 corners and 20.8 kilometres of tarmac, it is also a motorsports complex and home to
Hyundai Motor’s own 3,600 square metre testing centre, operated by the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical
Center. Hyundai Motor’s accelerated durability tests are conducted there. Each car taking part in the tests
laps the Nürburgring 420 to 480 times in both dry and wet conditions, simulating up to 180,000 km of
severe driving –the equivalent of a normal vehicle’s lifecycle – in just four weeks.

Namyang R&D Center: Birthplace of the i30 N

Opened in 1995 in Hwaseong, South Korea, and employing 13,000 researchers, the Namyang R&D
Center is the heart of Hyundai Motor’s global R&D network and the birthplace of the new i30 N. Located
on over 3.3 million square metres of land, it consists of various centres for design and engineering, power
train, performance and test driving, an aero-acoustic wind tunnel, and environmental R&D. It is host to 34
roads, including a Belgian road, and a high-speed track that is 4.5 km long. In all, the site features a total
road length of 70 km. The i30 N’s great road holding is the result of months of testing the aerodynamics at
Hyundai’s Namyang Technology Research Centre in Korea and in the wind tunnel.

Produced in Europe

The i30 N will be produced at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech in Nošovice (HMMC). The facility
opened in 2008 and started production of the first generation i30 the same year. It has an annual
production capacity of 350,000 cars and fulfils the highest quality standards to meet European customers’
expectations. The HMMC facility also features a 3.3 km open test track on the factory grounds, ensuring
that every vehicle is tested for dynamic properties, noise and functions, along with a full underbody check
for fluid leakage and correct assembly.

Each component used in the i30 N makes Hyundai Motor’s first high-performance vehicle more agile and
dynamic. This is what the Hyundai N line up stands for: The N-badged Hyundai focuses on taking the
vehicle beyond its role of being just a means of transportation. It offers the customer the thrill and
excitement of driving a high-performance car and becoming one with the car as it moves through corners
at speed.

03      Designed by the pursuit of performance

The i30 N is focused on true performance features, while markedly enhancing the experience of those
behind the wheel. It sports unique high-performance design elements such as aggressive-looking front
and rear bumpers and a new rear spoiler, paired with the coherent, timeless design of the i30 range.
According to the principle “form follows function”, designers worked closely with aerodynamic specialists
to define the right ratio between the car’s downforce, drag and aerodynamics to create the best possible
driving experience. The resulting lowered body together with the newly designed aerodynamics give the
car its sporty silhouette and strong stance, while enhancing road balance and race track capabilities.
