more discreet version of the brand&#8217;s hot petrol-powered small sedan, is arriving in local showrooms in November with a price $5000 higher than the model on which it&#8217;s based.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">The special edition will be limited to just 200 examples locally, with a price tag of $60,500 before on-road costs \u2013 $5000 more than the i30 Sedan N Premium with sunroof.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">As with the grade it&#8217;s based on, you can choose between a six-speed manual or eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission at the same price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">Australia is one of just a few markets that&#8217;ll receive the special-edition sports sedan, along with Korea and Canada. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_1ivmml5ga _1ivmml58

_1ivmml53bd\">The Monochrome will be offered in just two exterior colours: no-cost Performance Blue, the N division&#8217;s signature colour, plus Abyss Black Pearl which costs an additional $595.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">Both colours are teamed with newly designed 19-inch forged alloy wheels finished in black, while the usual red brake calipers are also finished in black.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">The darker theme extends to elements of the front bumper, side sills and rear diffuser, with unpainted carbon-fibre mirror caps and a rear spoiler completing the treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">The cabin features an exclusive Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel with all buttons finished in black, with this trim also found on the gear shifter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">There are no changes to the 206kW\/392Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which sends power to the front wheels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">Hyundai Australia has confirmed the 200 Monochromes will include a mix of six-speed manual and eight-speed dual-clutch automatic versions, with around 170 equipped with the latter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">The allocation broadly reflects the standard i30 Sedan N\u2019s sales mix, with around 90 per cent of buyers choosing the DCT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m7p3v71 _1ivmml5ni _1ivmml52 _1ivmml58 _1ivmml52z4 _1ivmml532t _1ivmml537o _1ivmml53bd\">The Monochrome is effectively a run-out model variant for the i30 Sedan N, which arrived in Australian showrooms in 2021, and follows the template set by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carexpert.com.au\/car-news\/2026-hyundai-i20-n-shadow-edition-marks-end-of-hot-hatch\" class=\"_87i7r20 _87i7r21\"

rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">new-generation i30 Sedan<\/a> has been revealed, albeit not yet in N guise, ahead of its local launch during the first half of 2027. The older i30 Hatch N, in contrast, is nearing the end of its run with no replacement in sight.
