2025 Hyundai i20 N: Pricing, Specs, and What's New
Hyundai has officially unveiled the 2025 i20 N, bringing a refreshed look and new tech upgrades to the brand’s smallest hot hatch. Australian buyers can expect to see the first arrivals this November, with a starting price of $35,500 plus on-road costs – a slight increase of $510 over the outgoing model.
A Subtle Facelift with Key Updates
While the 2025 i20 N receives a mid-life facelift, the changes are mostly cosmetic. Design tweaks include new 18-inch machined alloy wheels and a fresh front grille pattern. Hyundai has also replaced the silver Hyundai badges with sleek matte black ones on both the front and rear.
Inside, the updates continue with LED interior lighting and Hyundai’s new satin-finish badge on the steering wheel. The infotainment system now supports over-the-air software updates, ensuring the system stays up-to-date without the need for manual installation.
Connectivity Upgrade: Bluelink Added
One of the standout additions to the 2025 i20 N is Bluelink, Hyundai’s connected car technology. With the Bluelink smartphone app, drivers can remotely track their vehicle, control the air conditioning, and even send navigation routes directly to the infotainment screen. The app also includes an SOS emergency call function, adding another layer of safety.
Familiar Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 i20 N remains unchanged, continuing to pack the punch that driving enthusiasts love. It carries over the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 150kW of power and 275Nm of torque, with overboost temporarily increasing torque to 304Nm. The front wheels are driven via a six-speed manual transmission, maintaining the engaging driving experience Hyundai’s N range is known for.
Standard Features in the 2025 i20 N
Despite the mild update, the 2025 i20 N remains well-equipped with an impressive range of standard features, including:
- New front grille pattern and black Hyundai badges
