Hyundai i20 N Line | First Drive Review | PowerDrift

Hyundai has finally brought in their i20 N Line, not to be confused with the much beefier i20 N. This peppy hatchback is here to bring on the heat to the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI and the Tata Altroz iTurbo. Though, does it walk the talk? Find out in this first-drive review.

Please compare it to the Polo gt, then the old gt tsi and then Abarth... Hot hatches in India have slowly and steadily declined in performance over the years ... But its a happy ending if you watch it in reverse 😉

I'll wait for the N version and compare it with the N line version alongside the standard version. To avoid being and staying in the state of regret.

[@amj675]

Finally, we have a car with better driving dynamics without compromising the family car tag. Ford, Fiat, VW...everyone has tried and failed miserably in their task of enlightening Indians what is meant by 'fun to drive' cars. Lets applaud Hyundai's brave move, a Korean brand who knows Indians better than Indians Hope that, in the near future our market will mature enough to accept a full blown i20 N. :-They could have provide a manual version without those gimmicks like sunroof, at a more affordable price.
