With the i20 N, Hyundai will focus on a new market for the brand: that of the sporty B-segment. Cars like the Ford Fiesta ST and Volkswagen Polo GTI are ready to compete from South Korea. Hyundai is already showing the newcomer itself, unfortunately still with a thick layer of camouflage material.
The Hyundai i20 N has been making the necessary test kilometers for a while. Of course also at the Nürburgring, which is so important for the N-division. This time, however, it is the Swedish Arjeplog where the sporty newcomer stretches their legs. Hyundai shows how its youngest offspring is kicked on the tail on the frozen plain. The spicy Korean shows only a little bit more than before, but it is clear that you have to introduce the new i20 with some extra spoiler work and larger air intakes to see the N version in front of you.
None other than WRC driver Thierry Neuville is behind the wheel of the i20 N here. His experience is of great value, according to Hyundai. Driver feedback is reflected in the development of the sporty hatchback. Unfortunately, despite sharing these photos, Hyundai does not provide any further concrete information. In any case, it is in line with the expectation that there is a turbocharged petrol engine with a power of at least 200 hp. Hyundai may spoon the new 1.5 T-GDI of the larger i30. We will know for sure later this year.
