2024 Hyundai i30 N Hot Hatch Spied Hiding Possible Second Facelift

Hyundai, known for its short product life cycles, is surprisingly working on a second facelift for the i30 N. Unlike its usual practice of making significant modifications for a facelifted version, this time the changes seem to be minor. Recent spy shots captured a camouflaged prototype of the i30 N near the Nürburgring, revealing subtle updates compared to the refreshed hot hatch released in 2020.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the test vehicle features the same revised headlights and taillights introduced in the first facelift for the i30 N. While the camouflage might be deceiving, there are some noticeable novelties at the front. The bumper has been redesigned to accommodate vertical air intakes, and the honeycomb pattern of the front grille has undergone a slight change. Additionally, the area surrounding the lower intake has seen mild revisions.
