Hyundai i20 N-Line vs i20 Turbo – Specs Comparison

While both these hatchbacks will come with a 1.0-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine, the N-Line will also feature some key mechanical tweaks to allow for better driving dynamics. The entire purpose of the N-Line variant of the i20 is to make enthusiastic driving accessible to all. In a bid to achieve that, the i20 N-Line will have a slightly different suspension setup to aid with high-speed stability and better control around the corners. The exhaust step might also be tweaked a little to create a sporty exhaust note which really puts the driver into that zone. The steering feedback will be altered to inspire more confidence in the driver while driving enthusiastically. The ARAI-rated fuel mileage of the Hyundai i20 N-Line is pegged at 20.25 kmpl for DCT and 20 kmpl for IMT. This is more or less similar to what the regular Turbo version offers.
