Special new performance car revealed: 2025 Hyundai i30 N sedan TCR Edition released with Australian launch on the cards next year

Hyundai has turned the dial all the way up on its new special edition i30 N sedan.

The South Korean brand has detailed the new i30 N Sedan TCR Edition that brings the company’s motorsport prowess to the road.

The car goes on sale in South Korea this year with a global expansion planned for 2025.

Hyundai Australia has its hand up for the vehicle and said it’s likely we’ll see it on our roads next year, but stopped short of 100 per cent confirming it for Down Under.

It brings new exterior and interior upgrades inspired by the brand’s TCR World Tour winning racers.

On the kit list is a big carbon fibre swan neck spoiler, lightweight 19-inch N TCR forged wheels and beefed-up N Performance four-piston monoblock brake calipers.

These parts will reduce weight, increase downforce and stopping power.

It’ll have TCR Edition badging and a “race-inspired” synthetic suede-wrapped steering wheel with a blue top marker and blue seat belts.

Joon Park, Vice President of N Brand Management Group, said: "Hyundai Motor has incorporated the experience and expertise accumulated in motorsports into i30 Sedan N TCR Edition.”  

“We will continue to enhance the DNA of Hyundai N, so that N-thusiasts can experience the thrill of motorsports in their daily lives.”

Hyundai hasn’t revealed any other details of the vehicle, so it is likely it’ll maintain the regular version’s engine and transmission.

This means it’ll use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that makes 206kW and 392Nm matched to either a six-speed manual transmission or eight-speed dual-clutch auto.

It could also gain additional driving modes above the most ragged Sport+ that make it better suited to track days.

It should also have a 10.25-inch multimedia screen and a digital driver display of the same size.

Heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel should carryover front he regular version, too.
