Hyundai i20 has gained a lot of popularity and fan followers due to its sheer looks and performance on offer. This has led Hyundai to explore a new path by launching the Hyundai i20 N Line, especially for performance lovers. Earlier this space has been explored by manufacturers like Fiat, Volkswagen, etc. But the success received by them was far less overwhelming. Lets us see what Hyundai has on offer this time.
Features of Hyundai i20 N Line
The i20 N Line comes in two models namely N6 and N8 wherein N6 is the base model and N8 is the top one. Some of the new features include a Tyre pressure monitoring system (Highline), Electric Sunroof, Cruise Control, 10.25″ HD touchscreen system, LED projector headlamps, cornering lamps, Puddle lamps with welcome function, etc.
Safety Features of Hyundai i20 N Line
Making a car safe for its occupants should be a paramount subject of any car maker. Hyundai motors have significantly contributed in this direction by giving an option of 6 Airbags in the N8 model which comprises Driver, Passenger, Side, and Curtain Airbags. ABS with EBD is offered on both models in addition to Electronic Stability Control being standard in both variants. This car is having Disc brakes on the rear wheels as well, a feature seen lesser in the cars of this segment. Hill assist control is also an added feature in this car.
Technical Specifications Of Hyundai i20 N Line
The Hyundai i20 N Line comes with a 1.0 L Turbo GDi petrol engine with 7-Speed Dual-Clutch transmission and 6-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission.
| MAXIMUM POWER- 120Ps@6000RPM | |
| MAXIMUM TORQUE- 172Nm@1500-4000RPM | |
| DISPLACEMENT- 998cc | |
| VALVETRAIN TYPE- DOHC | |
| WHEEL SIZE- 195/55 R16 DIAMOND CUT ALLOY |
With all that on offer and a price tag of Rs 9.90Lacs ex-showroom Delhi, Hyundai i20 N Line seems to be a too optimistic step in this segment considering the price-sensitive consumers in our country.
The likelihood of fierce competition stays not only with other performance hatchbacks but also with mid-sized sedans that give more or less the same performance figures with more value on offer.
