THE NEW HYUNDAI i20 PLEASANTLY surprised me when I first drove it towards the end of 2020 on open highway and through some sharp twisties. It felt like an Indo-Korean take on the Golf and the fact that the very thought crossed my mind was enough to give me the urge to push it further. A few weeks later, it was my long-term car and, then, open highways and sharp bends made way for packed city roads with on- and off-road nature thrown in for good measure. Guess what? The car impressed. Yet, Hyundai weren’t quite done.
The N Line version of the i20 arrived and it tightened the belt a few holes further, encompassing a slew of aspects which affected how movie, do you take the red pill and stay with what you know and consider conventional? Or do you take the blue pill and find out how deep the performance rabbit-hole really goes?
