2021 Hyundai i20 N Line variant details leaked ahead of August 24 unveil
Soon after Hyundai confirmed the entry of its N Line brand of performance-focused offerings in India, a few more details have surfaced about the Hyundai i20 N Line. The i20 N Line will be first of these performance-focused offerings and will be the new top-spec version of the i20 hatchback when it makes its India debut on August 24.
The leaked type approval certificates show that the Hyundai i20 N Line will be offered with the iMT clutchless manual transmission as well as with the 7-speed DCT. Both will be paired with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder T-GDi turbo-petrol which should make an appearance here in its 120PS and 172 Nm form. The iMT will be offered in the top Asta(O) variant while two new variants exclusive to the N Line - N6 and N8 - will also be available. The DCT will come in two options, the Asta(O) and the N8. Separating the N Line will be a more dynamic suspension tune although a power bump isn't expected.
