AutoExec Summary
Despite seeing the Hyundai i30 Fastback N at its reveal in 2017, I’m only now driving it. Initially, Hyundai Australia didn’t approve the standard model but accepted the N variant. Its design is polarising, especially the rear-end. With increased boot space, improved ride comfort, and better performance due to aerodynamics, it’s a compelling choice. The engine is potent, delivering a fun, confident drive with excellent chassis balance and steering feedback. Cabin comfort is high, with premium features and safety kit, making it a standout in the performance segment.
Brands mentioned: Hyundai, BMW, Renault.
