Then I crunched some numbers. The Hyundai i20 N already has massive discs by city-car standards. The front discs on both the Hyundai and the Ford are clamped by a floating caliper but the i20 N brake pads have a larger swept area.
Why the fuss over brakes? And also I once drove from a race track to a Ford dealer after going almost metal to metal on a previous Ford Fiesta ST. Luckily it was a short trip and mostly freeway. And you shouldn't either. Dumb idea. We have seen claims of 6. Yeah nah. We reckon this could be on the money. Tyres no doubt played a major role in the outcome. So if all the fan boys are going nuts about the Toyota GR Yaris — a car so popular Toyota has stopped taking orders — then what sort of kudos might the Hyundai i20 N deserve?
Or will badge snobs not allow themselves to get excited about a Hyundai? For the record, we reckon a Toyota GR Yaris Rallye — with its limited-slip differentials and sticky Michelin tyres — would smoke a Hyundai i20 N around a race track. Hyundai is still relatively new to the hot hatch market, and so far it has run two Hyundai N Day festivals. Disclosure: this could change, of course, and lockdowns caused by COVID could quash some well-made plans.
To be clear, Hyundai Australia is yet to confirm this. But we reckon it's a fair bet the Hyundai i20 N will come with warranty coverage on a track. The exceptions are certain track-ready Porsches. And the Hyundai i30 N.
When the Hyundai i30 N went on sale locally in , Hyundai boldly announced it would stand by its product on a race track. And it still does to this day. There are some obvious exceptions of course. Our next con isn't really a negative point but we are just nit-picking things. The new i20 is a very feature-loaded car. However, it does miss out on some features like ventilated seats and an auto-dimming IRVM.
The old Elite i20 used to get an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror IRVM and the same would have been added here too. Also, the ventilated seats would have been a welcome addition in the top-spec variants of the car as its top-spec trims are quite pricey compared to its rivals. More about the price in the next section. Finally, talking about the price, the new Hyundai i20 is available in four variants - Magna, Sportz, Asta and Asta O. The price of the new third-generation model of this premium hatch starts at Rs.
The top-spec variants of the new i20 feel a bit overpriced and Hyundai should have priced it a bit more competitively. Also, to bring the price of the base variant even more down, Hyundai will soon launch a new affordable base variant of the car - Hyundai i20 Era. To know more about it, click HERE.

Ten paint colours across a broad spectrum are available, as is the option of a two-tone scheme by way of a black roof. Wireless phone charging also features. The second-generation Hyundai i20 is a very spacious, well-kitted and keenly priced addition to the competitive supermini segment, but is ultimately let down by its weak engines. Highlights among the huge provision of new safety kit include sat-nav-based adaptive cruise control, which can anticipate corners or straight stretches and lower or raise your speed appropriately, an intelligent speed limiter and lane-following assistance, a system that keeps the car centred within its lane.
In theory, that should lead to improved performance and efficiency for the petrol-only engine range. This is topped by a bhp 1. A 99bhp version of the same unit is offered with the same gearboxes.
