SYDNEY: Hyundai Motor recently unveiled the new i30 Sedan N Monochrome, a new edition model that expresses the essence of Hyundai N’s performance through a restrained, monochromatic design.
The new edition model will be launched in Korea, Canada and Australia, with plans to expand to other global markets.
In Australia, the i30 Sedan N Monochrome will arrive in showrooms from November 2026, and will be limited to 200 units, with a mix of manual and DCT transmissions.
The new model brings together the heritage of the i30 Sedan N, Hyundai N’s motorsport-inspired character and a focused design concept captured by the phrase “Understated Yet Undeniable.”
A consistent monochromatic treatment throughout emphasises the vehicle’s silhouette, materials and performance-oriented details.
“Having listened to customers’ voices for a toned-down high-performance model, we restrained visual emphases and focused on form, texture and material to create a monochromatic rendition of the i30 Sedan N that is understated, yet undeniably N," said Hyundai Motor Company vice president and head of N management group Joon Park.
Key features include:
- Monochromatic-themed exterior and body-colour details.
- Newly designed forged wheels.
- Revised details across the front and rear bumpers, side sills, brake callipers, and rear diffuser.
- Carbon-fibre rear spoiler and mirrors.
- A performance-focused interior treatment, including a Monochrome-only Alcantara steering wheel with buttons finished in black.
- Alcantara materials used on select interior components.
The model will be available with two body-colour options, Abyss Black Pearl and Performance Blue.
The monochromatic approach is intended to capture the evolution of the i30 Sedan N and its connection to Hyundai N’s motorsport heritage, from competition vehicles to road-going performance models.
