News & Top StoriesThe redesigned i20 N Line from Hyundai has been formally unveiled for the European market, and production is set to commence shortly. Although the facelifted Hyundai i20 N Line was released for the Indian market last year, the new European-spec model is a little different and comes with extra amenities in addition to styling modifications. The variations between the two i20 N Line variants may be seen here.
Front
This hatchback’s appearance is impacted by the minor design variations in the fascia. Although it is designed identically, the European version’s front grille appears to be a little larger.
Here, the fog lamp housing and front bumper design are also the main differences. With a more triangular-shaped fog lamp housing and a sleeker front bumper devoid of red elements like the Indian-spec version, the European specification version is more appealing.
Side
The alloy wheels’ color is the most obvious difference at its side. The wheels on the European-spec i20 N Line are completely black, but the alloy designs are essentially the same on both models. In addition, the alloy wheels on this version are 17 inches in diameter instead of the 16 inches on the India-spec model.
Another modification is the side cladding, which is a little sharper on the hatchback built to European specs.
Back
The back profile also has some subtle but noticeable variations. First off, the European i20 N Line has a unique bumper with air dams on both sides and a bulky overall appearance. Second, the chrome strip between the tail lights is absent from the European-spec version even though the light configuration is the same.
A driver’s fully digital display
The interior is the same as the exterior but with N Line-specific features. A 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display, like the one on the facelifted Hyundai Creta, is included in the European specification version. The semi-digital driver’s display on the India-spec model is smaller.
Increased Safety
The advanced driver assistance system, or ADAS, is another significant feature addition in addition to the driver’s display. A comprehensive range of driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, park assist, lane keep assist, and auto emergency braking, are included with the European model. These features are absent from the India-spec version, which is limited to a basic feature package that includes six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill hold assist, a rearview camera, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
Lightly hybrid technology
Hyundai’s i20 N Line, a European car, has the same 1-liter turbo-petrol engine as the India-spec car, but it also has 48V mild hybrid technology, which increases total fuel efficiency. Even yet, a tune is available that keeps peak power at 120 PS while marginally raising peak torque to 200 Nm from 172 Nm.
These were the main distinctions between the i20 N Line designed for Europe and the i20 N Line designed for India. Which version appears better to you? Tell us in the comments section below.
