Hyundai is coming for the first time with an N version of the i20, a compact hothatch of which the brand is now releasing a new set of teaser plates.
Hyundai recently added the N-Line to the range of the i20, which makes the Hyundai i20 a sporty hatchback. However, in that implementation it remains at appearance. If you want your i20 to be able to add action to the optical word, you still have to be patient. Hyundai will soon come with a real N version of the i20. That Hyundai i20 N is a little better to see today.
Hyundai’s N adventure started in 2017 with the i30 N and this year the N formula is also applied to its smaller brother: the i20. The i20 N on this new set of teaser plates is painted in N-signature color Performance Blue and appears to be overloaded with a set of red accents. It still remains to guess the engine where the i20 N will soon squeeze its power. Hyundai has a new 1.5 T-GDI, a petrol engine that in the facelifted i30 is good for 160 hp and 253 Nm. It is quite possible that this machine will be hung in the muzzle of the i20 N. You can count on a power of around 200 hp, enough to answer cars like the Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta ST. Of course, the i20 N gets more than just a turned-on look and a powerful heart. Hyundai’s N division also gives the car a firmer chassis, more powerful brakes and a modified steering gear.
Can’t wait for the i20 N to be unveiled? Then we have good news, according to Hyundai it will soon come with more information about the compact hot hatch.
