The compact size and ability to fit anywhere make hatchbacks ideal for driving around metropolitan jungles. There are plenty of hatchbacks on the market, but the sportier Hyundai i20 N Line differs from its rivals in many ways. So if you’re also in the market for the Hyundai i20 N Line, here we’ll help you to pick the right variant. To begin, let’s look at the technical aspects:–
Specifications
| Engine | 1-litre T-GDI turbo-petrol |
| No of Cylinders | 3 |
| Max Power | 120PS |
| Max Torque | 172Nm |
| Gearbox Options | 6-speed iMT / 7-speed DCT |
| Claimed Fuel Efficiency | 20kmpl (iMT), 20.25kmpl (DCT) |
The Hyundai i20 N Line delivers a best-in-class output of 120PS and 172Nm. The refinement levels of this turbocharged engine are truly impressive, though the new exhaust system adds a touch of sportiness without being outright loud. This revv-friendly machine doesn’t stumble for power and offers impressive acceleration. However, there’s a slight throttle lag, especially when you pick it up from the start.
N Line Specific Changes
Being a sportier iteration of the Hyundai i20, the N Line model receives lots of visual enhancements, all-four disc brakes, a stiffer suspension set-up for better stability, and a quicker steering rack for a more alluring drive experience. Its exhaust note has also been retuned for a more bassy sound.
