Hyundai has increased prices across much of its Australian model range by $250, coinciding with a longer new seven-year warranty, but its N performance models have copped much larger price hikes.

From September 1, the hot i20 N and i30 N hatchbacks are now $2000 more expensive than before, with the i30 Sedan N up by $1000.

Among Hyundai’s N models, only the Ioniq 5 N electric SUV avoids a price increase.

Elsewhere in Hyundai’s lineup, everything is up by $250 except for the entire range of electric vehicles (EVs), as well as the current Palisade large SUV which will soon be replaced.

“The N model price increase is [due to] a combination of warranty, NVES [New Vehicle Efficiency Standard] and European factory sourcing,” said a company spokesperson.

These performance models haven’t received any specification changes.

From September 1, Hyundai has introduced an additional two years of warranty coverage… provided you service your vehicle within its dealer network, and the vehicle isn’t used for commercial purposes.

If not, the warranty remains the standard five-year, unlimited-kilometre offer.

Hyundai says corrosion, paint and infotainment systems are included in this warranty, while high-voltage batteries stick with their existing eight-year, 160,000km coverage.
