Hyundai to Launch i30 Sedan N Monochrome in November

Live Poll

Is paying a premium for special edition vehicle aesthetic packages worth the extra cost?

Hyundai is set to release the i30 Sedan N Monochrome in Australia this November 2026. This special run-out edition is limited to just 200 units for the market.

Why it matters

The Monochrome model serves as a final iteration of the current i30 Sedan N before a new-generation vehicle launches in the first half of 2027. It follows the strategy used for the i20 N Shadow Edition to mark the conclusion of a model line.

The Monochrome edition is priced at $60,500 before on-road costs, representing a $5,000 premium over the base model. Power is provided by a 206kW 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine.

The players

Hyundai

Hyundai is a South Korean multinational automotive manufacturer that produces a wide range of vehicles, including the performance-focused N line.

The details

Available in Performance Blue or Abyss Black Pearl, the vehicle features 19-inch black forged alloy wheels and unpainted carbon-fibre mirror caps. Approximately 170 of the 200 units are equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, with the remainder featuring a six-speed manual.

Hyundai N division debuted locally in Australia in 2018.
The i30 Sedan N first arrived in Australian showrooms in 2021.
Sales figures for the N model sedan were last recorded in September 2026.
The i30 Sedan N Monochrome arrives in Australian showrooms in November 2026.
A new-generation i30 Sedan is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2027.

Roadmap

This release follows the template set by the i20 N Shadow Edition which marked the end of the i20 N production. It positions the current i30 Sedan N as a collector-focused run-out variant ahead of a complete model generational shift expected in early 2027.

Prospective buyers can expect to pay a $5,000 premium over the standard i30 Sedan N for this limited-edition variant. With only 200 units allocated for the Australian market, interested customers should contact local dealerships immediately to secure their preferred colour and transmission.

The takeaway

This final special edition offers collectors a unique configuration of the i30 Sedan N before the platform is retired. Buyers should act quickly given the limited supply and the pending introduction of the new-generation sedan model in 2027.
