Hyundai i20 N

ITH SCALED-DOWN i30 N LOOKS, 201BHP AND SUPERB handling, the i20 N has the Fiesta ST slap bang in its cross hairs. Having muscled in on the hot hatch market with the capable, polished and well-equipped i30 N, Hyundai is now looking to do the same in the junior sector. And having driven a near sign-off spec i20 N on road and track, I reckon it’s pretty much got everything it needs to do the job. The standard i20 isn’t a car we’re familiar with at evo. Hyundai’s WRC challenger is an i20, but that’s based on a three-door that’s no longer sold in the UK. The standard five-door is a sharp-looking thing though, with crisp lines and distinctive ‘Zorro’ rear lights, and it looks good given the full N treatment.
