This is the Hyundai i30 N Line, and it"s reasonably interesting. It looks like an i30N, for starters, and that"s one of the very best hot hatches on sale. We"re used to this sort of stuff now, of course. S Line Audis are pretending to be proper Audi S cars, AMG Line Mercs are pretending to be proper AMGs, and so on. It"s a simple formula, one that everyone"s following. The N Line is at least more in-depth than a wannabe styling pack, though. Beneath the surface is the 140bhp 1.4-litre petrol that sits at the top of the i30"s sensible engine range. While it has just half of the i30N"s power, it doesn"t have half the performance, still hitting 62mph in under nine seconds.
