The facelifted Hyundai i20 N Line is expected to be released in the second half of 2023, likely at a higher price than the current model.
Only a week after the facelifted Hyundai i20 was spotted testing in India, the refreshed version of the i20 N Line has now been seen for the first time. The updated hatchback was caught on camera alongside two other refreshed i20 models which were all partially camouflaged to hide the tweaks. It was introduced in India by Hyundai as the first model with the N Line treatment in 2021.
The New Design of Hyundai i20 N Line
Despite the front and rear of the new facelifted i20 N Line being concealed by black camouflage, its profile revealed the same red side skirts as the current i20 N Line. The vehicle was also spotted with a new design of alloy wheels, featuring a red brake calliper and an “N” badge on the hubcaps. Among the regular i20 variants seen during the testing, one had steel wheels with covers, while the other in silver paint sported the same new alloy wheel design.
The refreshed i20 N Line may also have the same enhancements as the recently released European facelift model, which includes updated bumpers and multi-reflector LED headlights. The upgraded rear of the i20 N Line may also come with a connected LED taillight system.
Interior Details
Although the images only showed black upholstery with contrast red stitching in the new facelifted i20 N Line’s cabin, another spy image gave a glimpse of the dashboard in one of the regular i20 variants. It revealed paddle shifters, a new 2-spoke steering wheel like that in the 6th-generation Verna, and the same in-car dashcam and touchscreen setup as before.
Hyundai may offer the i20 N Line with new features, such as ventilated front seats and ambient lighting, which are expected to feature on the updated standard model. They may also retain current features such as wireless phone charging, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, connected car technology, and auto climate control. The safety feature is likely to include up to six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and a reversing camera.
Possible Engine
The upgraded i20 N Line may continue to use the same 1-litre turbo-petrol engine (120PS/172Nm) and offer the current 6-speed iMT (clutchless manual) and 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission).
Expected Release and Price
We anticipate that the facelifted i20 N Line will hit the market during the latter part of 2023, and it may be launched in conjunction with the updated i20. Its price range is sure to be higher than the current model, with the turbo versions of the Tata Altroz being its direct competitors.
