DESPITE DELISTING THE i20 micro car in Australia some time ago, Hyundai insists we’ll be getting the racetrack capable hot hatch i20 N, based on the all-new i20 and inspired by the i20 WRC rally car.
As is becoming a regular ploy for the company, it has revealed a first teaser of its new model.
As with other Hyundai N models, the all-new Hyundai i20 N offers exclusive engine performance and dynamic technology innovations to satisfy performance-oriented enthusiasts. The latest model will join the i30 N and i30 Fastback N among Hyundai’s high-performance line-up in Australia.

The all-new i20 N’s design features a dynamic overall look based on Hyundai’s new Sensuous Sportiness design identity, which gives the car a powerful appearance. The front is dominated by a larger air intake for the turbo engine and brake cooling. At the side, bespoke 18-inch wheels with a grey matte finish and N-branded brake calipers, as well as unique side sills, underline its sporty credentials. A distinctive rear spoiler enhances its aerodynamic performance so that it is fun to drive on any road and in all weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the all-new i20 N’s Performance Blue livery, which is exclusive to Hyundai N models, and Phantom Black roof for an optional two-tone style, as well as red exterior accents further emphasise Hyundai’s motorsport DNA.
To offer N-thusiasts a further glimpse into the i20 N experience, the car’s exhaust sound has also been teased in a short clip that reveals the characteristic tone of Hyundai N.
More details will be revealed soon.
