    Hyundai i20 N Line facelift: what’s new?

    Just like the regular hatchback, the sporty i20 N Line facelift only gets minor cosmetic tweaks. However, the bigger change is that the 6-speed iMT gearbox has been replaced by a 6-speed manual unit. As for the engine, the i20 N Line continues with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit that produces 120hp and 172Nm of torque. Notably, the N Line is the only variant that now gets the turbo-petrol as Hyundai discontinued this engine on the i20 with the facelift.

    Apart from the aforementioned 6-speed manual, the i20 N Line also gets the 7-speed DCT as before. Like the pre-facelift car, the i20 N Line continues with a sportier exhaust note and suspension setup, and rear disc brakes over the regular hatchback.

    Hyundai i20 N Line exterior design

    Not much has changed from the pre-facelift model in terms of design – it continues with the same front bumper with a parametric grille design and an N Line logo, and a prominent front splitter with red accents. At the rear, it gets a mildly altered bumper design with a prominent diffuser, red accents, twin exhaust outlets and a tail gate spoiler along with dark chrome garnish connecting the two tail-lamps.

    What's new are the full-LED headlamps – the pre-facelift model got LED projectors – and a new design for the 16-inch alloys. Six single-tone paint options are offered with the i20 N Line facelift, and dual-tone options are available for an extra cost.

    Hyundai i20 N Line interior and features

    The i20 N Line shares its dashboard design with the standard car, and the all-black interior gets subtle red accents and N Line badging on the seats and steering wheel. It also gets red ambient lighting, metal finish on the pedals and an N Line-specific steering wheel and gear lever.

    The equipment list is at par with the top-spec i20 – 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and OTA updates, a digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, cruise control, automatic climate control, a single-pane sunroof and a 7-speaker Bose sound system. 

    Safety features include 6 airbags, three-point seatbelts with seatbelt reminders for all passengers, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), reverse camera, automatic headlamps, electronic stability control (ESC) and hill assist control.

    Hyundai i20 N Line pricing and rivals

    With the discontinuation of the Polo GT TSI, the i20 N Line does not have a direct rival anymore. The closest possible rival is the turbo-petrol engine equipped Altroz iTurbo. However, the iTurbo does not get a different exhaust or suspension tuning like the i20 N Line.
