Standard technology and connectivity equipment also feature with all N Line’s benefitting from an eight-inch infotainment screen with Smart Device Integration and DAB.

Externally, the N Line shares its front and rear bumper with the i30 N. It also features a twin exhaust, LED rear lamps and 18” alloy wheels, with Michelin Pilot PS4 tyres.

Priced from £23,255, the i30 N Line + adds heated leather and suede sports seats and heated steering wheel, dual zone climate control, LED headlamps and automatic rain sensing windscreen wipers.
