It’s time to say goodbye to my 2022 i30N Premium DCT... not because I want to (believe me, I don’t!) but because we’re getting ready to hit the road for a lap around Australia, and as much as I love this car, it’s not quite cut out for life in the bush or towing a caravan.

As you can see by the photos, she's a very tidy example of a performance blue i30N.

The Details:

• Low 32,xxx kms – barely broken in, with plenty of adventures to be had!

• Recently serviced at 30,000kms, she’s all ready to go (full service history).

• Brand new Falken Azenis FK520L tyres

• Full Flow Design splitter kit for that extra sporty flair.

• Rally-style mud flaps to keep the dirt off and give it some extra character.

• Protected by Gtechniq ceramic coating – she’s shiny, and so easy to clean!

• Darkest legal UV window tint

• Partially de-badged and black badge overlays.

Standard Specs (2022 i30N Premium Sunroof DCT):

• 2.0L Turbocharged Petrol Engine – 206kW of power and 392Nm of torque.

• 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) – lightning-quick shifts with rev-matching for seamless performance.

• Customisable Drive Modes – including N Mode for ultimate performance.

• Panoramic Sunroof – let the light in on your favourite drives.

• 19" Alloy Wheels – will be fitted with brand-new tyres (September).

• Sports Seats with N logo and luxurious leather and Alcantara trim.

• High-Performance Brakes – designed for spirited drives and optimal stopping power.

• 10.25-inch Touchscreen with Sat Nav, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.

• Premium Sound System – perfect for the road trip soundtrack.

• Epic exhaust note.. enough said

This i30N has been my pride and joy for 2 years—whether it was spirited drives or everyday runs, it’s been an absolute dream car. Now, sadly, it’s ready for a new home with someone who will love it just as much as I have. If you’re after a car that’s low on KMs, packed with personality, and begging to be driven, this is it.
