2025 Hyundai i30 Hatch N Line Premium review
- The Hyundai i30 Hatch, now only available in up-spec N Line and N Line Premium variants which are both being produced in Czechia, comes with some distinctive European flair. The i30 Hatch N Line Premium is the most expensive hatch variant on sale, priced at AUD 41,000. A highlight of the updated Hyundai i30 Hatch N Line is its 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, backed by a 48V mild-hybrid system. While the interior of the i30 hatchback is satisfactory, it can get a bit dark and drab and wouldn't appeal to all. The i30 Hatch did have a five-star ANCAP rating and comes with plenty of safety features. However, the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist system which sounds a single chime when a new posted speed limit is detected, and then another chime when you travel at least 2km/h over the limit, is flawed and annoying.
- The i30 HatchN N Line Premium gets a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, Bluelink connected car services, and heated and ventilated front seats, and rear cross-traffic assist, as well as other features. On the downside, the Hyundai i30 now gets a smaller 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine augmented by a 48V mild-hybrid system. The Hyundai i30 Hatch's updated interior isn't new and still has the dual-zone climate control setup, which now looks dated. The i30 Hatch N Line's suspension setup is on the firmer side, but it’s never uncomfortable. The car is enjoyable to drive even though it doesn't have the outright punch to feel like a warm hatch.
- The i30 Hatch N Line's adaptive cruise control is good at keeping a consistent distance between you and the car ahead, while the lane-keep assist system goes off pretty frequently and the lane-centring system is best left for clearly marked highways and freeways. The i30 Hatch comes with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and the i30 is covered by Hyundai’s ‘lifetime service plan’, which outlines the costs of each service for the first 21 years or 210,000km.

PLUS closed-system tolled highways like North-South Expressway to support Touch ‘n Go PayDirect soon
- Several closed-system tolled highways, including the North-South Expressway, managed by PLUS Malaysia, are in the process of adopting Touch 'n Go's PayDirect system.
- Currently, the only way to pay for tolls on certain PLUS highways using TNG eWallet is through the RFID system. However, these highways will soon support PayDirect, allowing users to pay directly from their eWallet balance.
- The Penang Bridge and Butterworth-Kulim Expressway already support PayDirect, while the West Coast Expressway is also in the process of adopting the system.
- The adoption of PayDirect will make reloading TNG cards unnecessary for toll payments and is part of the SOS Balance feature, which delays toll payments if eWallet balance is insufficient.
