Description
We are delighted to present this outstanding, highly sought-after example of the award-winning Hyundai i20 N. Born from Hyundai's World Rally Championship pedigree, the i20 N stands out as one of the most thrilling, uncompromising, and critically acclaimed hot hatchbacks on the market. The aggressive exterior commands instant road presence, featuring a motorsport-inspired deep front bumper with large cooling intake grilles, a chequered flag radiator grille pattern, Tomato Red accent highlights along the side skirts and rear diffuser, unique dual-layered rear roof spoiler, dark-tinted rear privacy glass, performance twin-exhaust tailpipes, and striking 18-inch matte grey alloy wheels wrapped in sticky performance rubber. Power comes from a fierce 1.6-litre turbocharged GDi 4-cylinder petrol engine, producing a thrilling 204 ps (201 bhp) and a robust 275 Nm of pulling torque (with up to 304 Nm on overboost). Mated exclusively to an engaging 6-speed manual transmission complete with an automatic rev-matching function, it fires from 0-62 mph in just 6.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 142 mph, while still returning up to 40+ MPG combined on longer motorway runs. Engineered to strict Euro 6 standards with Gasoline Particulate Filter technology, it is fully compliant with all ULEZ and nationwide clean-air zone charging regulations.
Interior/Comfort
Step inside to experience a driver-focused, race-inspired cockpit designed entirely around high-performance handling. The N-specific interior features deeply bolstered front sports seats upholstered in black cloth and leatherette with performance blue contrast stitching and integrated headrests, a thick heated leather-wrapped N multifunction steering wheel, metallic sports pedals, and dark headlining. Performance-oriented controls include the iconic steering wheel-mounted light-blue N mode buttons and the red Rev Matching button for instant engagement. In-cabin luxuries are extensive, offering automatic climate control, cruise control, keyless entry with push-button ignition, auto-lighting headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and power-folding heated door mirrors. Practicality remains remarkably usable for a dedicated hot hatch, offering a versatile 5-door layout, a 352-litre boot capacity, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats for extra luggage space when needed. Outer rear ISOFIX child seat anchorage points are fitted as standard.
