Our colleagues at CarExpert allowed us to share with you the latest spy pictures of the Hyundai i30 N Fastback that was caught in Sydney with similar 19-inch lightweight wheels of the Veloster N. The i30 N facelift will arrive to the market by the end of 2020. Despite the exterior and interior changes, the biggest change will come by the hand of a new 8-speed wet DCT transmission and thanks to CarExpert today we can see how it sounds!

What we know so far?
To the question of how many new models were in the pipeline in the moment, he said: “We have a lot of new models both in development and in planning. The N brand will, I believe, grow even faster over the next five years than it has over the first five.”
“But I can’t really talk about any of those models just yet because I’m not allowed to! Except maybe for the new eight-speed DCT that will go into the i30 N in 2020.”
He also talked about the lightweight i30 N Project C, but this will only be in left-hand drive special edition model for the German market and available in limited numbers. He also added “But look, these cars are still just the beginning. There is a lot more to come in the next five years, and yes, some of the cars will be even more focused on the enthusiast.”

About the success of Hyundai N, a few months ago he realised the i30 N accounted for 28 per cent of all i30 sales in Germany last year. He was absolutely amazed, especially considering what the original sales forecasts for the N cars were. According to him, nowadays sales of i30 N have reached 34 per cent of all i30 sales in Germany.
The facelift will also represent some design changes as will premiere new Daylight LED running light and a new grille design as well. We can also spot new air intakes which we can see through the camouflage and also hidden is the new front bumper design.
At back things has also change from the regular i30 spied before, first the taillights has a much slimmer design but one thing you’ll notice right off is the exhaust tip, which are much bigger compare to its current version. Hidden in the camouflage we can also expect a new design rear bumper.
