purchase books have opened in the UK for the new Hyundai i20 N – the marque’s first hot supermini and a direct rival for the Ford Fiesta ST and Volkswagen Polo GTI. prices start from £24,995. 
Hyundai says this new small hot hatch is inspired by the company’s WRC rally car, and that development of this performance version was conceived best at the very beginning of the current-generation supermini’s development process.

There’s certainly no mistaking the ‘N’ for the standard i20. The i20 N features a wild body kit comprising a deeper front bumper with enlarged air intakes, distinct side skirts that wrap around into a reshaped rear bumper with new diffuser. A roof-mounted spoiler, inspired by the WRC car, has also been added.

Red exterior detailing runs along the lower edge of the car’s bodywork, while six different main exterior colours are available: performance Blue, Polar White, Aurora Grey, sleek Silver, Brass and Phantom Black. standard exterior features include LED head and tail lamps as well as 18-inch alloy wheels and red-painted brake calipers.
Hyundai i20 N engine and performance
Power is offered by a new 201bhp 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. Hyundai doesn’t intend to offer a dual-clutch automatic version, unlike in the larger i30 N. The i20 N is said to weigh just 1,190kg – the same as the WRC car – which enables a 0-62mph time of 6.7 seconds and top speed of 143mph.
