@@carwow I agree, my father had half a dozen VW Golf GTI hot hatches from MK2-4. I do also personally love how much value they offer per BHP and smiles per miles 😎
Would you say the N-Line is worth buying? I don't have the money or need for the full out N version but the N-Line looks appealing to me but I was wondering if it's worth it or if there's better cars for that price point?
Ended up getting a I20N Last year, this review helped come to that decision. Do not regret buying it, what a car. Brings a smile to my face every time!
I’ve done 38k miles in mine now, I don’t have the seat wear. So far the car has been bullet proof too, not a single issue. I’ve put Eagle F1’s on it which seem to be lasting forever, most probably because it’s a light car. It really is a durable solid little car and gets so much attention.
Hi do you mind me asking , as a daily driver - how is the mpg ? , I’m thinking about this as a second car for myself & I’ll give my current car to the wife !!
@@montha123 Hi, using premium petrol (which I always do) you can get over 50mpg on a run. In the warmer months doing a 60 mile commute I was getting 50-53mog, when it got colder it dropped to high 40’s. That’s at a steady 70mph on the motorway. Short trips are usually about 38mpg. Naturally that depends on how hard you push it but even when having fun it’ll be quite good on fuel because it’s so light. Tyres will last a long time on this too, I’ve got Goodyear Eagle F1’s and the rears have been on for over 25k miles and are not even half way worn. Again that’s because I did a lot of motorway driving.
@@BM_PAZ thanks that sounds good , hard to get premium fuel here in Ireland now it’s all gone E10 , I’m going to go into the local Hyundai dealer tomorrow to see how long the waiting time is on getting one for next year
@@BM_PAZcheers I will , I’m also going to enquire about a fiesta st-3 , the 2 dealers are next door to each other ,both are expensive here at over € 40,000
well, regular hatchbacks mostly get "shortlist" recommendation from Matt, unless it's a "hot" version. Because, you know, car journalists.. Matt is still fun to watch tho and I am sooo glad he did something normal, after months and months of all these supersports I truly don't care for.
@@Staromil agreed. I’m not sure why Mat constantly does cars that cost more than my house. Sure, it’s nice to see a review every now and then of a super car but come on, not every day.
But if you're going up a gear, you want the revs to go down. Shouldn't it just let the revs drop and then hold them when it reaches the correct RPM for the next gear?
@@Xenon0000000000001 the thing is, with performance engines mated to manual gearboxes, if you are not quick enough in certain scenarios (this was way more usual before dual mass flywheels and electronic injection tho), the revs can and will drop too much due to the engine having such low inertia and you might jerk the shift. However, I suspect that in this instance, there's a combination of factors: the mapping for the engine might be calibrated to hold onto the revs for better mileage in WLTP cycle, as the engine doesn't have to rev back up again and use more fuel + the dual mass flywheel having greater inertia which also doesn't help
Another great product from Hyundai N division. I reviewed it a few weeks ago and was so impressed with the everyday usability. You can get all of the horsepower out and enjoy the exhaust note! Epic 👌🏻

@@flap1xx I use it as my daily and get by just fine. It is firm, but never uncomfortable. Perfectly fine, tad louder on start up in the early mornings ;)
9:04 my two year old i30 N had the same problem with the driver seat after about 5000 km. Seems to be a Hyundai thing...but I just got uset to it and after a certain time it actually does not get worse.
The exhaust tip looks virtually identical to the one on my 2004 Mercedes C230 Kompressor, all the way down to the two black pipes inside the chrome tip

I've seen a regular one irl and it looks so much better than in videos. Mostly because you realize that it is a lot lower and wider than similar sized cars and the rear end suddenly makes sense. Given that the N is even lower to the ground and with more "stealthy" taillights it probably looks quite good in person.
I've ordered one and I'm planning to tint the whole rear light cluster, and possibly buy some Eibach Springs to give it a better stance. Should improve things a bit :)

Hi Matt, awesome video with an awesome car. The rev counter rising on shifts happens because it is tuned for speed and rally style racing. So in a race, if you shift up you want the revs high so you can pin the accelerator and keep the speed up. I am far from a mechanic but that is why I think it happens.

Love this channel. My favorite pastime, actually. Not kidding. I’d love to see some reviews and comparisons between various station cars and also SUVs. Maybe not glamorous, but I’d be really useful to me. And, please, open a branch in Denmark.
The i20 is similar to the GR Yaris. A WRC style road car 😃👍. We need a comparison between this, the Yaris and the Fiesta ST to see which is best (which will be incredibly close, as they are all sensational pocket rockets 😃😎👍).
You can’t compare anything to that GR Yaris, it’s way too bespoke and way too expensive. I could get a new i20N with spare change to get a 1.0-litre i20 to give to my mother, for the price of 1 GR Yaris.
They’ve been doing a great job since the early 2010s. It’s just that the petrolheads haven’t noticed because, they’ve only been in the performance market properly since 2017-ish.
Meanwhile in India we are gonna get N line i20 for the first time but it has the same 1.0L T 3c as the stock car with only difference being some vinyls
This car is 25000 pounds in UK that is 25 lacs in India, who will buy that expensive Hyundai in India? For that money, you can get Octavia. Imagine getting i20 instead of Octavia lol
@@PritamDas_26 This could do better than an Fiesta ST, maybe even Octavia(non RS version)too, but people won't buy a hatchback around 20lakhs, just like how the Polo GTI sold in India.
We have the same problem here in Egypt.We don't even get the N-line because they get too expensive due to the bigger engine. We did get the Cupra Leon for a while but it was almost as expensive as a BMW 1-series and A-class so it didn't sell well.
I think Matt mentioned it’s 0 to 60 was 6.7 but it is actually 6 seconds ( 6.2 to 100kph/62 mph official) which he wasn’t far off straight away , great content as usual and what a great little car - not many about 👍 and a 5 year warranty 👍
@@TheTrooperMB very different cars. We've got the x5 7 seater suv. Idrive bmw tech is the best. Then the old vw passat sport wagon for the school run etc is what we are chopping in. Used to have third car - boxster, e46 m3, jag xk8. I wanted something with 5 seats that I can consider my fun car too as we go back to a 2 car family. My sister had an elise. Best drivers car but total ball ache. Other than just a toy you'll end up hating it. 370z could work. Dated but chassis lives on in the 400z. Where's your local dealers? Who will service it? Insurance cost? Driveway/garage? Is it reliable, can I afford it to be out of action for a month waiting on spares? All this practical boring stuff should probably sway your mind. Can't really tell you much beyond the online reviews til I live with it. But fun, value, tech, warranty, 5 seat belts, were my most important criteria to balance. Find your most important criteria to balance. Nothing is perfect
Been waiting for this review for a while now, super happy it’s up Are we gonna see this car in some drag races? Only asking as I have one and wanna know what it can beat / lose miserably to 😂
Hyundai winning the hot hatch game again! Best part is how it (and the i30n) come fully loaded. I specced a golf gti on the configurator to match the i30n with the diff, sport exhaust, adaptive dampers , bigger wheels Etc and it was nearly £14k more expensive.

A 3-door MINI Cooper S or an Abarth 500 would be much more go-kart like, but the Koreans (with help from a German) do such a good job, the i20N could hold its own against those two.

Cheers mate!
@@lukeslayer Heh. I actually posted that cause the comment section was filled with Indian folk saying that the Swift was like the most popular car over there. Looks kinda odd out of context.
I20 N is a good budget hot hatch too, but to choose between this and a Polo GTI, I'd rather have a Polo GTI. Still well done to Hyundai for making this hot hatch for it's price.
I am probably bias but I have driven both and it isn't even close for me! The Fiesta ST is a better competitor than the Polo. Both the ST and N felt leagues above the Polo GTI! All good cars though, would be lucky to own and drive any of these awesome hot hatches.
@@Jabber-ig3iw Respect the GTi, it's a different hot hatch, different from the regular Polo. And by that logic even the I20(non N-performace) is for the usual dull people. (Btw, why do you use the word "God", even for lame sentences, like wtf.)
Is the i20 N the #1 small hot hatch? LIKE if you agree, or COMMENT with what you'd choose instead!

@@JAG2024-j4j I think the ppl here where talking about good cars and not Vws
GR Yaris arguably is better on every aspect possible except the price
This is the review that we've been waiting for
Mat rocks!!
This car is very refreshing to me cause i love small fast car, since every car is getting bigger and bigger. Really hope there will be a dct version
Best review video. Got mine ordered for May 👌
The Koreans are doing such a good job making good cars these days, beware Japan and Germany!
The N's come from the German division of Hyundai.
They’ve been doing a great job since the early 2010s. It’s just that the petrolheads haven’t noticed because, they’ve only been in the performance market properly since 2017-ish.
Yeah, Except North Korea lol
Japan is Japan man!
@@magnustan841 I agree
Meanwhile in India we are gonna get N line i20 for the first time but it has the same 1.0L T 3c as the stock car with only difference being some vinyls
The Indian market is a sad one and often overlooked by most carmakers 😔
Taxation and other stuffs to reduce cost bro :'"3
This car is 25000 pounds in UK that is 25 lacs in India, who will buy that expensive Hyundai in India? For that money, you can get Octavia. Imagine getting i20 instead of Octavia lol
@@PritamDas_26 This could do better than an Fiesta ST, maybe even Octavia(non RS version)too, but people won't buy a hatchback around 20lakhs, just like how the Polo GTI sold in India.
We have the same problem here in Egypt.We don't even get the N-line because they get too expensive due to the bigger engine. We did get the Cupra Leon for a while but it was almost as expensive as a BMW 1-series and A-class so it didn't sell well.
Always happy to see a new hot hatch 🔥 ❤️
'LOVE THIS VERY VIDEO HERE MANN!' "I WANNA BUY THIS CAR SOON!"
this is one of my favorite modern cars ever. I love it!!
This is one hell of a package! The thing it does with its GPS is brilliant!
I think Matt mentioned it’s 0 to 60 was 6.7 but it is actually 6 seconds ( 6.2 to 100kph/62 mph official) which he wasn’t far off straight away , great content as usual and what a great little car - not many about 👍 and a 5 year warranty 👍
I'm getting one in a month or two! Family eco fun! (Got 3 kids and wanted civic type R)
@@benpenagonzales6014 so how do u like the car ?
@@TheTrooperMB getting it on the 7th December! Held up like all cars.
@@benpenagonzales6014 i'm tempted , but for the price idk if a lotus elise S1 or a 370z is worth it in comparison
@@TheTrooperMB very different cars. We've got the x5 7 seater suv. Idrive bmw tech is the best. Then the old vw passat sport wagon for the school run etc is what we are chopping in. Used to have third car - boxster, e46 m3, jag xk8. I wanted something with 5 seats that I can consider my fun car too as we go back to a 2 car family. My sister had an elise. Best drivers car but total ball ache. Other than just a toy you'll end up hating it. 370z could work. Dated but chassis lives on in the 400z. Where's your local dealers? Who will service it? Insurance cost? Driveway/garage? Is it reliable, can I afford it to be out of action for a month waiting on spares? All this practical boring stuff should probably sway your mind. Can't really tell you much beyond the online reviews til I live with it. But fun, value, tech, warranty, 5 seat belts, were my most important criteria to balance. Find your most important criteria to balance. Nothing is perfect
pls do a drag race between the i20n polo gti and Ford feista st 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Maybe also a mini cooper s or jcw ?
@@AS-xh8kd it would be the Cooper S
Driving i 20 asta 1.2 petrol and its awesome hatch.
Been waiting for your review of this! Can't wait to get mine.
Well done Hyundai! It looks the part!
Been waiting for this review for a while now, super happy it’s up
Are we gonna see this car in some drag races? Only asking as I have one and wanna know what it can beat / lose miserably to 😂
Need it Vs the Fiesta ST and possibly the Polo
Matt you should really review the genesis cars.. you will be very surprised
Was there a bird nesting in your hair at the end mat 😂
It's a winner! I just bought one straight up!!
Hyundai winning the hot hatch game again! Best part is how it (and the i30n) come fully loaded. I specced a golf gti on the configurator to match the i30n with the diff, sport exhaust, adaptive dampers , bigger wheels Etc and it was nearly £14k more expensive.
keep it up guys, love your videos! 👍
When will you review the Ioniq 5?
@Ty Ty troller
1:48 “ that I could put my fingers in “ 🤣 me and my dirty mind 🧠🧼
I have got a 2020 fiesta ST, I think in the future this will be my next hit hatch
Do not do it stopping making them the wife's had 3 i 20 n nothing but trouble new 2024 plate front tyres done at 2300 miles petrol in engine oil now having problems with head lamps and passenger hand brake sticking on also excelarator sticking on can't beleave we sold brand new 2022 st 3 mean green ford fiesta
When are you guys gonna do new i30n facelift? Love the vids mate! From Australia ♥️
That's actually a sick little car 👌 I mean, I'm keeping my Holden VE SS 6.0 litre ute but it's still a dope little car, would be mint for city driving.
Thanks for posting, man. That was the first question that popped into my head when I seen that this video had been posted.
Would lukeslayer swap his Ute for this little Hyundai? And now I know.
Cheers again.
A 3-door MINI Cooper S or an Abarth 500 would be much more go-kart like, but the Koreans (with help from a German) do such a good job, the i20N could hold its own against those two.
@@DrMcMoist DrMcMoist commented on the Suzuki swift carwow review video
"I bet this car is really unpopular in india"
Thanks for posting that man, thats the first thing that popped into my head watching that video, I wonder what DrMcMoist thinks about a Suzuki swifts popularity in India, and now I know!
Cheers mate!
@@lukeslayer Heh. I actually posted that cause the comment section was filled with Indian folk saying that the Swift was like the most popular car over there.
Looks kinda odd out of context.
impressed by the sound of the 4 cylinder engine❤❤❤
I wish Suzuki kept the 1.6L Swift Sport and chucked a turbo on it, would have been a worthy competitor to this smart little Hatchback.
Mat hair at the end it's up at the back like an antenna , good to know that I am not the only one rocking up that hair style !
Would like to see i20n, Yaris GR and Pulsar GTIR on quarter mile battle.
This could be a worthy upgrade over my Abarth 595 Comp !
Finally some good old reviewing. Thank you very much @carwow. Great content as always
Been waiting for this video for so long
I have been waiting so long for your to review this beautiful hothatch🤗can't stop smilling🤗🙌✊
I like how mat also reviewing budget cars 😘😘😘
i feel like this should be in the USA as well
why?
Sadly we needed this version in India
The 'N version' in India is 1.0l turbo with 120hp😭
Yes 😭
i20 asta opt is more value for money
They launched only with the N batch in India
@@sadik_8709 and red accents 😩
@@sadik_8709 for the badges they will charge 50 to 100 k extra
But you have to factor that in India it would be 20 lakh Otr for this particular model
welcome back Mat the car reviewer
the paint scheme on this little beast is awesome
Looks like a great little hot hatch, Hyundai have really improved their product design over the last few years.
Spoiler alert. The rear spoiler is MASSIVE!
I20 N is a good budget hot hatch too, but to choose between this and a Polo GTI, I'd rather have a Polo GTI. Still well done to Hyundai for making this hot hatch for it's price.
I am probably bias but I have driven both and it isn't even close for me! The Fiesta ST is a better competitor than the Polo. Both the ST and N felt leagues above the Polo GTI! All good cars though, would be lucky to own and drive any of these awesome hot hatches.
Dear god the polo is usual VW dullness for dull people.
@@Jabber-ig3iw Respect the GTi, it's a different hot hatch, different from the regular Polo. And by that logic even the I20(non N-performace) is for the usual dull people.
(Btw, why do you use the word "God", even for lame sentences, like wtf.)
Hyundai have been smashing it recently
Please conduct a drag race: GTR vs Bugatti vs Rimac vs Koegnisegg
It’s gonna be rimac
