Hyundai i20 N Line Review - Team-BHP

Hyundai i20 N Line Pros​

• Aggressive styling with distinctive touches that set it apart from the garden-variety i20
• Punchy 1.0 turbo-petrol motor with 118 BHP on tap
• Firm yet compliant suspension coupled with a weighted steering + paddle shifters + fruity exhaust note that make the i20 N Line fun
• Tasteful N Line-exclusive steering wheel, gear selector, red accents etc liven up the interior
• Feature-rich equipment list includes cruise control, LED projectors, voice-activated sunroof, wireless charging & more
• Spacious cabin with a 311 liter boot makes this a practical yet fun-to-drive car
• Price premium over the regular i20 is totally justified by the additions & improvements
• Safety kit = ESP, 6 airbags, rear disc brakes, Blue Link SOS, Hill Assist…

Hyundai i20 N Line Cons​

• Although well-priced in relation to the i20 Asta variant, it is still an expensive hatchback
• Offering an iMT and not a proper MT on the i20 N Line is ridiculous!
• 1.0L DCT variant shows initial lag. Even otherwise, it’s not as explosive as VW’s 1.0 Turbo
• Some misses such as auto wipers, split folding rear seats…
• You absolutely need a tyre upgrade. The OEM rubber gives up easily
• This 3rd-gen i20’s styling can be polarizing, unlike the more neutral previous generation cars
• Dual-clutch ATs have had a troubled reliability record in India
• More of a warmed-up hatchback in terms of power & handling, rather than a “hot hatch” like an Abarth Punto

ROAD TEST: Hyundai i20 1,0 TGDI Fluid MT​


TEST SUMMARY

One thing beyond question is how much Hyundai has improved the i20 in comparison to the previous model: the drive is in another league, it has more standard kit and is arguably the most desirable looking in the competitive B-segment at the moment. Is that enough to sway consumers away from the Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta and Mazda2? The proof of the pudding for Hyundai, will be in the sales figures.

ROAD TEST: Hyundai i20 1,0 TGDI Fluid MT - CAR Magazine

From a sales point of view, for the last 20 years, the Volkswagen Polo has been the most popular hatchback in South Africa, without question. Every other compact hatch, including the Hyundai i20, watched from the periphery as the Polo and, subsequently, the Polo Vivo, dominated sales charts.

REVIEW | Hyundai i20 or Hyundai Kona: finding the sweet spot for the family car
  • Hyundai i20 1.0 TGDI offers a sporty drive that borders on hot hatch territory.
  • Hyundai Kona 2.0 with IVT gearbox is light on fuel, but has several quirks.
  • Both cars prove amazing to live with, but it's the traditional hatchback that does things right.
Overall summary

You can't compare the i20 and the Kona as they are very different segments; however, as we tested them back to back, it was interesting to see how each performs as family runarounds. We thought the Kona would be the one to have as a family car; it offered the automatic transmission with the larger boot and the (supposedly) more roomy interior. We ended up preferring the i20 as it was so much fun to drive, and it had a kind of premium car feel to the way it rode, albeit a bit firmly.

If you're looking for a family vehicle and have one child, you can easily get away with living with an i20 for many years to come. It really should come standard with traction control and stability control, but if you're an experienced driver, this won't be a deal-breaker for you. We expected more from the Kona, but for its asking price, we think a more conventionally styled SUV rather than a crossover could hit the sweet spot for families. We'd have the i20 in a heartbeat based on the two cars we had on test.

Yes, we made more ‘It corners like it’s on rails’ jokes than was remotely necessary. Still, was quite a bit of effort to get the i20N up there, so we earned our dad jokes.
