First came the i30 N hot hatchback. Engineered and developed for Hyundai by an ex-BMW M Division engineer, it was an impressively accomplished first attempt at a genuinely sporting family car. Now, comes the Fastback version, and as we will discover, it’s a pretty good effort as well.
Priced at £29,995 (£500 more than the hatch) and using the same fundamental underpinnings as the 271bhp, front-wheel-drive i30 N that made its debut to such acclaim in 2017, the Fastback N is actually the third car from Hyundai’s new N Division. The second, the Veloster N, is not sold in Europe.
