Completely wrong, because in our test on the racetrack, the sedan performed better than the regular five-door. This is due to the more comfortably tuned chassis, with which the typical tendency to understeer is no longer quite as annoying. The more comfortable rear axle keeps the i30 Fastback N Performance on the ideal line better with small dance inserts, the more agile front axle allows the tire to work better. In the meantime there has been a facelift, but that shouldn’t have any effect on this impression. Visually were here Revised grill and headlights, the tailpipes are slightly larger.
