New Hyundai i30 2020 pricing and specs detailed: Toyota Corolla rival now costs more to buy

The Hyundai i30 has copped its second price rise in three months.

Hyundai Australia has increased the pricing of the i30 small car for the second time in three months.

In March, regular i30 variants became $250 more expensive, while their performance-focused i30 N Performance siblings went up $500.

Fast forward to June and the price rises range from $200 to $420, depending on the variant. As such, the i30 line-up now stretches from $20,440 to $42,190 plus on-road costs (see full pricing table below).

Just like last time, no changes have been made to standard specification, with a Hyundai Australia spokesperson telling CarsGuide the pricing adjustments were prompted by exchange-rate pressures.

The Toyota Corolla rival is still offered in seven grades: Go, Active, N-Line, N-Line Premium, Elite, Premium and N Performance, the latter of which can be had as Fastback sedan instead of the otherwise standard hatch.

A 120kW/203Nm 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine is available in the Go, Active, Elite and Premium alongside a 100kW/300Nm 1.6-litre turbo-diesel unit. Both are matched to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque-converter automatic.

Buyers only have one option in the N-Line and N-Line Premium, a 150kW/265Nm 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to either the manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The N Performance is manual only and gets a 202kW/353Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol unit, although it produces up to 378Nm of torque on overboost.

As reported, the facelifted version of the current-generation i30 is due in the second half of this year, while an updated i30 N Performance will arrive early next year with the option of an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.
