Key Facts

The Hyundai i30 Sedan N Monochrome is a limited-edition performance saloon featuring a restrained exterior aesthetic, forged wheels, and a production run limited to 200 units in Australia.

What Design and Equipment Changes Define the Monochrome Edition?

The Monochrome edition replaces bright exterior accents with a uniform body-colour scheme designed around an understated visual concept.
