Hyundai i20 N Line refreshed: More flash, less dash

Instead of the original automobile's chequered-flag effect, the new car features a more typical egg-crate design. Other upgrades include a new set of 17-inch alloy wheels and multicolor ambient lighting in the cabin, where the map, interior, and sun visor lights have all been upgraded to LED technology. Hyundai hasn't revealed any under-the-hood changes, so it still has a 118 horsepower (120 PS) 1.2-liter mild-hybrid four that takes 10.1 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kmh). The i20 N Line has nine body colors, including four new ones: Lumen Grey Pearl, Meta Blue Pearl, Vibrant Blue Pearl, and Lucid Lime Metallic.

The cabin has multicolor ambient lighting, which creates a dynamic atmosphere that complements the vehicle's sporting nature. New LED lights have been added to the map, interior, and sun visor sections, which are especially handy in low-light conditions. The i20 N Line model features characteristic N-specific design elements that have been rigorously created to improve both the driving experience and the visual attractiveness. These characteristics include the iconic N Line badge on the radiator grille, the exclusive N Line steering wheel, the specifically designed gear knob, non-slip aluminum-look sports pedals, contrast stitching throughout the interior, and sporty seats with plenty of neck support and side cushions.

The i20 N Line prioritizes style without sacrificing safety and connectivity by combining a complete safety package with cutting-edge connectivity features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA). Optional safety features include Parking Assist (PA) and Blind-spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA). The Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) controls the speed for safer highway driving.

Hyundai's i20 N Line is comparable to Ford's ST-Line, Audi's S-Line, Mercedes' AMG-Line, and BMW's M Sport. When parked, the i20 N Line resembles the genuine i20 N hot hatch, however it lacks the N's performance, efficiency, and insurance penalties.
