Hyundai i30 N DCT detailed review 2022: This or a Golf GTI?

- Does the 2022 Hyundai i30 N with DCT still sound as good as the manual? That's what I was keen to find out - the facelifted i30 N now has more power and more torque, along with bigger brakes and a fresh exterior.
It now also comes with the option of a dual-clutch transmission for the first time. Paul Maric gets behind the wheel to see if it's any good!

#hyundai #i30n #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I absolutely love this car… Hyundai didn’t want to make it to be a GTI etc. but they did their own thing with it and made it an absolute fun and unique car. With the DCT it’s on the top of my list.
It’s more performance oriented than the GTI while the GTI is more comfort.
The golf it’s still the better car by a nice margin, the hyundai is just better to drive.
Hyundai is making progress
Definitely!
BIG ONE !!!
They're leading now
I’d argue this is close to class leading…
You guys do the best reviews by far! not once did I get bored, or skip ahead. The video was honest + answered all of my questions and more! love that it didn't drag on and love how informed he is.
Thanks so much!
Suggestion: on performance cars like this, when you’re filming at the rear you should also start the car and rev it
Great idea!
like a carwow sound check
Even do a decible reading if you what a ranking of loudness
@@dgrona4411 more like soft limiter and OPF check.
I agree. Plus before sitting on the seat, aim the camera 📸 at them first so we an assess the built, thickness and comfort on appearance - because often seating comfort is all that counts in a car, especially in Australia where speed limits are basically zero,
Love it, want one. Have been waiting for it in the dct and happy it's getting such good reviews. Such a versatile little car. Great review 👌
I take the type R any day😊
Test drove this car today, definitely sold on it!!! Ordered and waiting for it to be shipped here can't wait 🤗
Been waiting for this review, it was worth the wait too.
I love my i30n here in the U.K. you didn’t mention the rear strut brace in the boot can be removed easily with 4 bolts, making a flat large load area if required, a car for every occasion 👍❤️
I’ve bought one in the UK 🇬🇧 and I love it. Great and accurate review 👍
Currently have one of these on order and have watched this video at least 5 times lol... Seriously can't wait,
These cars are gonna be cult classics in no time, they really give me the street menace vibes of old 90’s hot hatches, bravo Hyundai !!
Keen to see your review of the i20n when it arrives!
Great value for the money in the 135+kW/t bracket. Looks great in 'Dark Knight' grey.
5yr unlimited km warranty so just drive the wheels off it.
Nice 5 seat option for those that haven't given up on life and still get a fizz from driving.
It may not be a bad time to create a short video explaining "Steering Feel" to the average Joe. You hear a lot of reviews where the reviewer goes "there is not much feel through the wheel" or "the steering feel is great, you know exactly what the front wheels are doing". It will be great to have a video explaining what exactly this means and how to figure whether a car has a good steering feel or not. Keen to hear your thoughts.
Great review Paul! Really helps!
Glad to hear it!
Nice level of detail in this review, thanks 👍🏻
I have a 2022 DCT and it is fantastic. Better than VW DSG and they've been at it a lot longer. In normal mode it's very much like a torque converter automatic in feel, but in N mode with N Power Shift on it is bordering on violent 👌🏻 you don't get pops between every gear like a MT, but you don't need that when you can hold boost through the gear change
8 months ago was 2021 mate
@@spacepatriots6163 you know it's summer 2022 currently and 2023 models are hitting dealers? 👀
@@matthewolson9704 check your date of production of your car
How is the road noise?
Dude stop lying there is no way the dct it’s better than the dsg. It just isn’t. 🤷♂️
Great review!
CarPlay is able to go full screen with a setting in the options.
Thank you for that!
I figured their was because I think someone else said that on one of the Kia reviews, probably the Sorento
How?! drives me mad... have been fiddling in the settings but havent found it.
I heard on the grape vine that the technical capability for Wireless CarPlay is there, but it is pending some kind of legal dispute with one of the mapping companies. I’m hoping the functionality arrives in a future software update. In the meantime, a ~$100 wireless CarPlay dongle seems to work pretty well as a stopgap, and is easily hidden above the wireless charging pad with double-sided tape. Apart from a couple of CarPlay crashes (fixed by a simple unplug/replug), the only problem is that I now keep going inside and leaving my phone on the wireless charging pad!
This would be a very good replacement car for my wife/me. thinking seriously about getting one! Great review!
Thank you on the sound system 🙏
Great review.. currently have 2015 WRX and I'm waiting to see what the new STI is like.. unless there are power improvements and styling has changed I'll be going for i30 N
There won't be another sti
Thanks again for the review Paul - you obviously enjoy the sporty aspect of this model given your daily drive is a Supra - Hyundai have done a good job of gazing across from Busan to Japan and took note of the Japanese approach mirroring the Euro approach to some degree although the absence of rear USB ports and other comforts in the rear is a bit naughty for this price tag - a Subaru with it’s better value for money and standard AWD is always going to be the goto for me only if it’s a manual (not the flawed CVT) - John back in SA
Wow, Paul loves a DCT box...2021 keeps surprising us
Great review mate
Hanging for you guys to get a hold of an i20N, got one coming by boat I can't wait! I think bang for buck will be hard to beat a i20N I'm predicting. I would love to see a track comparison between a new i20N and new GR86 when there in the country, front wheel drive vs rear wheel drive battle!
Think you are a big fun of speed cars ..u sound more interesting when u test them ..I remember that Audi Q7 😃
Great review btw
Nice review. I like how you said its customized for AUS and this is your typical country road with bumps and all over the shop. But in reality thats the type of roads in our cities these days! lol
All the roads in Australian cities/residentials are bumpy and uneven!!!
This appeals over the Golf GTi( heavy midlife crisis😳).
In that baby blue with auto box please.
Great review, thanks from the UK👍🙏
Your braving the weather to give us a great review is always appreciated.
I love the pops & bangs ☺️☺️
I'd be interested in seeing your opinion on the i20 N! Any chance you have that review in the works? :P love your work!
Another great video, but when are we going to get a review of the king of hot hatches the Civic Type R?
Absolutely love this car, I have a Golf R on order with commission number the lot but I’m taking one of these for a test drive in the next few weeks to see if it’s worth swapping. I would just sell my Golf R build slot / Commission number as demand here in 🇬🇧 is nuts for the Golf 8 R, plus I can get a new I30N a lot quicker. I’m waiting until June for my 8R but I can get hold of a new I30N by March. For me the blue or Performance blue whatever it’s called is looking a little dated now, a little bit like Lapiz blue for the Golf R. Hence why whatever one I eventually stump for is going to be in black. Yes high maintenance paint but stealthy and understated.
The blue looks way better..
Would be interesting to do a head to head comparison between this and the new Mk8 GTI
Definitely!
And the Focus ST, and the Megane RS, and the Octavia RS, and the Civic type R.
I30N cheaper & faster but more boy racer ie always on. GTI better all rounder bit more mature/relaxed but still a good drive, if you don't mind the lack of buttons/controls.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 Could include Cupra Leon in that list when it arrives.
@@damo5701 yes good point. I just hope they bring the AWD wagon. Man I would buy that in a heart beat.
One of the reasons for modern car to retain glowbulbs in the blinkers is the blinker relays. If the lamps are old-fashioned bulbs, the relays can be much simpler. Once blinkers are upgraded to LED, there has to be a bit clever-er electronics involved. Anyway. Kuddos for Hyundai for making this.. what are these called in Australia? Nuggets? --and thanks for the great review as always. Greetings from Latvia.
New Subaru WRX just revealed.
Released soon down under.
Looking forward to your coming review,lol.
How will it measure up against the likes of this Hyundai and others in this segment will be something to savour.
Keep up with the great reviews,cheers.
As a long time Subaru lover, it hurts to admit WRX is done. They just left the running gear to similar for too long.
When are you gonna review of the i30N Sedan and Kona N. A track comparison between the 3 would be awesome.
I've not driven either but I reckon the I30N is the go! Seems to have more character and look better! Manual all the way though! The latest baby blue shade looks lighter compared to the original? Is that just my poor eyesight or has it in fact changed?
Sure does have some pull by the rate of acceleration. Good review.
Is Atko going to test this on the track?
Biggest issue with the 2018 version I had was fairly aggressive axle tramp when launching. Sounds like that is not an issue any more, I couldn't hear it when you launched it. Does it still suffer?
Really tempting though, I regret selling my i30N. The 2 things I wished it had were better seats and a dual clutch gearbox so on that front it's a winner.
Having said that the manual was really good.
Shame in the UK we don't get the sunroof option.
What did you sell it for?!
"Bloody cold, bloody windy and soon to be bloody wet" = Melbourne weather!
😅
I think personally the blue is a nice colour. However I think it will make the car harder to sell down the line as a blue car isn’t necessarily everyone’s colour of choice. I’ve recently just put a deposit down on this car it does look a bit different as mine has red seatbelt straps and has leather seats. I personally went the shadow grey colour, as it’s a bit of a more neutral colour away from your standard black and white coloured cars.
a car paul actually likes that's amazing.
Did you encounter the axel tramp, Paul? Turned me right off when I test drove one and I found the new seats uncomfortable. Much preferred the old Fastback manual, but then I test drove a GR Yaris.... 🥰
Do the headlights have active shadowing? And if not when the hell are Hyundai/Kia going to bring that into their model line up??
Glad I bought the 2021 N Line premium DCT. Much better to live with day to day.
Agreed
Hey Paul, can you please review the i30 N Sedan?
I don't mind the baby blue, it's not the best colour but like you said - it's very true to the history of this model.
When you getting your hands on a 1500 limited?
Hi Paul can you please review BMW 128 ti and and Audi S3 once it is launched in Australia.
Paul you have to do the Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo … That’s one hatch I’d love to hear your views on.
Great review as always Paul. Sucked about the weather and lack of proper 0-100 but what can you do. Kinda baffling some of Hyundai's decisions to not have some of the niceties that are on the lesser models. This is the pick for me over the GTI but it will be interesting how the MK8 golf r is priced, this pushing 60k is pretty high.
You need to do a review on the 2022 Cerato!!!
I loved this review, so much praise for the new dct! Would love to see you test 0-100 in dry conditions as I’ve seen another Australian review showing 5.19 secs to 100. Hyundai claims 5.4 secs to 100 for the dct and 5.9 for the manual.
My best according to the acceleration meter in the N menu was 5.3s to 60mph in 65° weather
On car sales every single on of them has different front seats especially the head rest area. Does this have a specific option?
is that seat as comfy as it looks?
Please review the focus st 2022 and compare to the i30N.
Any news on the “nip n tuck” for the N-Line? I know the UK have them.
wish the pedals are bigger for easier heel toe, dct is nice for daily commute and faster overall
Great review.
When you do a 0-100 video in the dry, it would be good if you could give a summary of opinions on everyday use from people in your office/team and their significant others.
I’m curious on DCT in traffic crawl, car park manoeuvres, slow creep.
Also curious what advantage is there to having the e-diff in anything other than sport +?
The DCT is fine in traffic, slow creep and car parking manoeuvres.
Like the blue, different and bit of a head turner. The shadow grey is also nice but too many grey's on the road...
Hi paul I’ve got a golf R 7.5 what’s your opinion on the two ?
Down at Lang Lang for the review? ☺️ Looks pretty good, but I’m always a fan of a manual transmission.
I would love to see this up against the new STI when it comes out. I'm waiting for that to make my decision but the i30N is hard to go past price wise
Agreed!
Photos of new WRX are um ... ordinary at best.
@@damo5701 And no more power. Very sad. Subaru have lost the plot. That's why I sold my 2019 WRX and got one of these. Its an awesome car and MUCH more fun to drive than the WRX :-)
After seeing the new WRX photos, I'd go the Skoda Octavia RS wagon. In fact, I did!
Does this have same wireless CarPlay issues as the standard MY22 i30
Have you made a review of a kia cerato GT sedan
I want to see Atko find out which understeers more of the Yaris GR Povo pack or the i30N DCT with all that hectic weight hanging up the front axle.
Yaris gr is better hands down. But $10,000 more...😒😒
Hey mate can you do review about toyota xse hybrid 2021
I'm impressed! (and I am kind of a VW fanboy.) For the price of a base-line GTI you get a whole lot of good stuff as standard! I'm sure the VW build quality is better overall, but they have to watch out.
Skoda Octavia RS Wagon, great car and looks the goods too!
Li swear every time there is a Hyundai review it’s raining or windy
Looks refresh but still old platform and old cluster. Looking foward other upcoming N models!
@24:05 green camera focus laser on the grill or something else?
When’s Atko giving us a track review in video format?
2:09 Less resistant to damage?
I’m trying to come to terms with a forged alloy wheel that is stronger and LESS resistant to damage. Really?
You didn't mention if you would choose this over a Golf GTI despite having that in the title.
Review the sedan N?
Interesting opinion on the HKG’s lane keep, as most others do tend to favour theirs.
It works well. I rarely use it but if you need to do something quick like open a bottle of water or something it's handy 🤷♂️ would likely be nice on a road trip.
dream car
NGS gives more technical than what Paul said... goes from 206kw to 213kw and from 392Nm to 394Nm
what is this car's price now?
So wish they made it in 2 door (Ok, a 3 door for those that use the hatch to get in and out) and I may be swayed out of my JCW.
I preference the DCT over the manual.
they do make it in 2 door, its called the i20 n
@@wajdiyounes5524 Not for Australia they don't.
Man it sucks won't get to drive some of this good cars and they should make an all wheel drive version too
The continuous blinking of the front headlights is a bit distracting...!!
Thinking of getting one in January 🤔
My 1961 E Type Jaguar had a Limited Slip Differential.
128ti review?
How do you open the sunroof
Ripper car and review. Would take the i30N over the Golf GTI by a long, long, long way.
Better exhaust sound than G8 gti 😈 ... and just faster 🤩
Sounds great!
Not having electronic seat adjustment saves a lot of weight.
I picked mine up a few days ago. Ride is definitely firm but N mode is boarderline unbearable. No need to swap out the exhaust because it sounds so good
@Mr Sir what’s better at this price point?
@Mr Sir You just contradicted yourself. Show us better cars at this price point. I'll wait.
@Mr Sir Even when Hyundai started as a company they didn't break out of the store. You are just a hater!
I20n video?
Paul, you haven’t reviewed the kona N yet?
Coming soon!
I love like new car 2022 Hyundai n- line DCT premium auto very nice good looking car
Solid colours? What does that exactly mean?
Non metallic 😁
2:08 Forged alloys less resistant to damage over time?
Yes bends and buckles from potholes.
He surely meant more resistant, forged wheels tend to buckle rather than crack like a cast wheel would. Forged can be made lighter as well
Looks great.. however, the N is $10,000 more than the GTI and only 3 door coupe available in 🇨🇦
Suggestion as to where do you store your phone. What about the centre console or the door bin as we are not supposed to be using our phone while driving and all these cars have bluetooth to enable to make and receive calls. I don't think placing the phone in the cup holders is an ideal position as under emergency braking it may fly around
