Hyundai has introduced the facelifted i20 N Line in Europe. The sporty hatchback gets plenty of minor cosmetic updates over the existing model although mechanically it is identical to the current i20 N Line. Production for the updated i20 N Line will commence later in April this year in Europe.
It must be noted that the Korean carmaker launched the facelifted i20 in India in September this year while the updated i20 N Line is expected to hit Indian roads later this year.
2024 Hyundai i20 N Line: What’s new?
The exterior of the 2024 Hyundai i20 N Line witnesses subtle updates including a new pattern for the front grille and a newly designed set of 17-inch alloy wheels, an upgrade over the current 16-inch units. Distinctive N Line visual highlights such as the ‘N Line’ badge on the grille, the sporty bumper and inserts are retained in the updated model.
Other visual highlights include twin chrome-embellished exhaust tips and red inserts on side skirts. Hyundai will offer as many as nine exterior paint schemes for the new i20 N Line including four new options namely Lumen Grey Pearl, Meta Blue Pearl, Vibrant Blue Pearl, and Lucid Lime Metallic.
Inside the cabin, the 2024 i20 N Line continues with an all-black cabin with red contrast highlights and stitches on door pads and upholstery adding a sporty contrast. There are hardly any changes in terms of features, but the new i20 N Line gets multi-coloured ambient lights. Other cabin highlights include N Line-specific sports seats, a sporty gear shift lever, aluminium sports pedals, and an exclusive N Line steering wheel with perforated leather.
