Hyundai i20 N

The first allocation of Hyundai i20 N hot hatches were sold online last night as part of an Instagram Shop promotion. The online portal was open from 6pm to midnight last night and has now closed. The Instagram customers were guaranteed a car from the first shipment due to arrive in the first half of next year. Hyundai Australia received 18 pre-orders for the first-generation Hyundai i20 N, even though price and specification are yet to be released.

The new 2021 Hyundai i20 N hot hatch will arrive in the coming weeks to take on Ford's Fiesta ST and the Volkswagen Polo GTI – and, importantly, it's coming to Australia. That's good news because, like the Fiesta ST, it will be an orphan in its parent company's local line-up: with no regular i20 models to fill out the range, the i20 N is going to be quite the spectre on Aussie roads.

The 2021 Hyundai i20 N Line has been unveiled for Europe, as a milder, 'show-over-go' alternative to the upcoming i20 N hot hatch. As with other European-market N Line models, the Hyundai i20 N Line scores many of the sporty exterior and interior visual upgrades set to feature on the forthcoming i20 N, but without the flagship model’s hardcore chassis and anticipated 150kW 1.6-litre turbocharged engine.
