2022 Hyundai i30 N Fastback price and features: Style-focused Subaru WRX and Skoda Octavia RS rival returns as high-performing Limited Edition

As expected, Hyundai Australia has confirmed the facelifted i30 Fastback N will be sold locally, albeit only as a Limited Edition variant that is now available to order until September 30, with a maximum of 500 examples up for grabs.

The style-focused liftback is identically priced to the facelifted i30 N hatchback’s Premium grade with a sunroof, at $49,000 plus on-road costs for the six-speed manual or $52,000 for the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, although the i30 Fastback N Limited Edition’s panoramic item costs $1500 extra.

Like the i30 N hatchback and the all-new i30 Sedan N that will permanently replace the i30 Fastback N in Hyundai Australia’s model line-up, the Limited Edition is motivated by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which develops 206kW of power at 6000rpm and 392Nm of torque from 2100-4700rpm.
