I’m definitely getting one should be real fun

Looks nice but the body kit is abit ott imo

Nasher · 21 Oct 2020 at 18:12

Looks pretty standard warm hatch tbh

I think it looks great, a nice alternative to the Fiesta ST, and if the i30N Performance is anything to go by, this should be superb.

I wonder if it’ll come with the track insurance?

For some reason that does absolutely nothing for me! The basic shape of the car is a bit....nasty

That's my thinking. i30N DNA with lower weight and a shorter wheelbase? Yes please.

Same... and I like the i30N.

I like it. Apart from the rear door handles, they look a little weird being in a different position to the front. Really happy with my i30n, so this should be good !

Looks fine, will be a nice second hand motor when it has been out a few years though not sure i'd get one from new!

tom_e · 22 Oct 2020 at 08:37

I like that, my 16 plate i20 still has a good few years in it yet so hopefully by replacement time these will be a nice 2nd hand buy.

Yaayuh! · 22 Oct 2020 at 08:42

I was going to say I'd much prefer the Toyota Yaris GR, but it's quite a lot more expensive.

But the current Fiesta ST is already quicker. Plus it looks better, is cheaper and has tuning options.

Looks are subjective, I'd rather have the i20N. Tuning options will emerge for the i20N anyway, and we don't know the price of the i20N yet, but it's rumored to be around £23k with is EXACTLY the ballpark of the Fiesta ST. Sure the ST is a whole .4s quicker to 62, but the i20N has a proper mechanical LSD that isn't a pricey optional extra.

Does the N still come with the standard Hyundai 5 year warranty as well? Which is missing on the ST.

I think it’s 7 year. Correct me if I’m wrong though

edit. Ah no, it is 5. Apologies

Lashout_UK · 22 Oct 2020 at 10:59

Five for Hyundai, seven for Kia. The N variants of the i30 get the five-year warranty (which also covers non-competitive track use, off the top of my head) as standard, so I'm sure the i20 N will get it as well.

Mr Oblong · 22 Oct 2020 at 20:13

The headlights look pretty ugly though, I've got to say.

Hyburnate · 22 Oct 2020 at 20:34

Love it, I think it'll look better in black in my opinion.

Don't you own the AMG merc that you're planning on adding side skirts to?

Yep! Also saw there’s a “brass” version too. Wonder what that’s all about ?
