Hyundai i20 N and i30 N prices rise in Australia with new 7-year warranty

Hyundai has adjusted pricing across its Australian lineup, coinciding with the launch of its new seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Most models have received a modest $250 increase, but the brand’s high-performance i20 N and i30 N hot hatches have copped much steeper hikes of up to $2000, partly due to stricter emissions regulations and sourcing costs.

Hyundai price increases from September 1, 2025

Here’s how the updated pricing for the i20 N and i30 N models now looks:

Premium paint remains a $595 option, while i30 variants can add a sunroof for an additional $2,000.

Outside the N division, almost every Hyundai model is up by $250, except for the Ioniq electric range and the Palisade SUV, which will soon be replaced.

Why do the N cars cost more?

Hyundai says the sharper increases for the i20 N and i30 N are driven by:

• Tougher emissions regulations (NVES)
• Higher sourcing costs from Europe
• Inclusion of the new extended warranty

Unlike the rest of the range, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N performance EV has avoided a price rise.

New Hyundai 7-year warranty is now standard

The September price adjustment coincides with Hyundai’s launch of a new seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia.

To qualify for the full coverage, owners must service their cars at authorised Hyundai dealers and use the vehicle only for private purposes. Otherwise, the standard five-year warranty applies.

The new warranty also covers corrosion, paint and infotainment systems, while EV batteries continue with their existing eight-year/160,000km warranty.

Local market context

The Hyundai i20 N is imported from Turkey, and the i30 Hatch N from Czechia, with both models now sold only in select global markets like Australia after being dropped in Europe. Meanwhile, the Hyundai i30 Sedan N and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N continue to arrive from South Korea.

As the most powerful petrol-powered models in Hyundai’s small-car lineup, the N cars naturally produce the highest CO2 emissions, making them more heavily impacted by Australia’s upcoming emissions standards.

Hyundai’s everyday models only see a small $250 increase, but if you’re chasing an i20 N or i30 N, expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,000 more from September 2025.
