READ: DRIVEN | Hyundai turns SA’s hot hatch market on its head with two new N models If customers specify the Golf GTI on the i30 N’s level and start digging into the options list, the car’s asking price would top out at R746 500, R3 400 shy of the Hyundai’s. However, Hyundai is banking on an extensive standard features list on both its cars and that it will swing the pendulum in its favour when customers weigh the cars up against each other.

Still front-wheel driven, power is channeled to the road via a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both vehicles are powered by an uprated version of Hyundai’s turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, now tuned to deliver 206kW and 392Nm. Now, an updated version of the Korean hot hatch has reached our shores, along with its crossover sibling, the Kona N.
