Hyundai has been busy making subtle updates to its lineup. Recently, the Korean carmaker introduced some changes to the 2022 i20 lineup. These involved a variant rejig as well as new features added to the package. The company has made another update to the range-topping N Line variant of the premium hatchback.
i20 N Line now gets a new Starry Night Colour paint scheme. The sportier iteration of the premium hatch is already available in three other single-tone colour options including Thunder Blue, Titan Grey and Polar White. Single-tone colour options also included a Fiery Red paint scheme which has been discontinued.
Instead, a Fiery Red option has been added as a dual-tone paint scheme in combination with a Phantom Black roof. Other pre-existing dual-tone shades on offer include Thunder Blue and Polar White.
Apart from the updated colour palette, no other changes have been made in i20 N Line. It continues to feature the same set of cosmetic enhancements over the standard model.
For instance, it receives sportier exterior highlights like a roof-mounted spoiler, red accents on side skirts and front bumper, a dual-tip exhaust pipe and a blacked-out ‘chequered flag’ inspired front grille.
It also sports N Line badging across other parts of its exterior body. It also gets disc brakes on all four wheels with red-coloured callipers clamping rotors thus providing extra protection as well as improving aesthetics.
Speaking of aesthetics, interiors of i20 N Line also resonate the sportiness of its exterior which features an all-black theme with red inserts sprayed all across the cabin. It is also well-loaded in terms of tech and offers features like all-LED illumination, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system enabled with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bose premium audio system, an electric sunroof, BlueLink connected car tech and more.
Safety features on offer include six airbags, electronic stability control, hill assist, and rear parking sensors as standard fitment. Hyundai offers i20 N Line in a single 1.0-litre GDi turbo petrol engine option which is available with either a 6-speed iMT clutchless manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. This turbo petrol unit dishes out 118 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque.
The company has also stiffened suspension setup of the N Line variant in order to offer sportier driving dynamics. Prices for i20 N Line start at Rs 9.90 lakh and top out at Rs 11.97 lakh (both prices ex-showroom). In India, i20 N Line competes against the likes of Volkswagen Polo GT and Tata Altroz iTurbo.
