New Delhi: N line is more than just a power show.
Baleno RS to Punto Abarth, Hatchbacks Hot has failed to make an impact.
Hyundai, on the other hand, is optimistic about the market which is quite large because the performance of the performance series inspired by racing with i20 in India.
Read together to find SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat): Strength: I20 N lines on display two weeks ago.
Like it or not, the silhouette leaves the impression of the racy gene.
With a ‘n’ badge on a 16-inch alloy wheel or styled the plaid flag, Piano Black Grille, N line tries to accommodate from his i20 cousin.
The i20 facelift was introduced in 2020 based on a new mild K-platform.
N line is based on the same thing, even though it’s a handful of mechanical changes.
The steering wheel is calibrated for a weighted feel, the car gets all-disc brakes, and the back suspension attenuation is reset to 30% to resist engine agility.
And all of these cycles work cohesively to praise the spirit machine.
The 1.0-liter T-GDI motor used in the i20 N line issued a maximum 20% greater strength at 120 horsepower on the regular turbo i20 variant.
And the effect is instant.
The pedal floor to metal, the i20 n line shouted from 3,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm.
Also, fast DCT and precision are options in the i20 N line, which no other cars in the segment offer.
There is enough distinguishing the interior too.
The All-Black Cabin with Pipping Red, N Badges in a chair, Knob Dedicated and Gear Dedicated.
You get features like Sunroof, floating infotainment with 50+ connected features, wireless charging, all-digital instrument consoles, Bose speakers and buttons made specifically on the steering wheel.
Talk about the price, Hyundai has hit the ball out of the park.
Two trim lines are offered.
N6 and N8 IMT will charge you Rs 9.84 lakh and Rs 10.87 lakh, and the top N8 DCT at the price of Rs 11.75 Lakh (former showroom).
A total of 6 color choices, two double tone choices requested Rs 15,000 Premium.
As a result, the price difference at the top of the i20 (ASTA-IMT) and I20 N (N8-IMT) around Rs 80,000.
The safety package to meet performance is also comprehensive.
Top-end package 6 airbag, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, reverse parking camera, hill help some.
Weaknesses: Let’s face it.
Features-packed, N8 DCT will return you by almost Rs 14 Lakh.
This is also a price point where several Seltos trim lines, Creta, Hector and Harrier are operating.
Are you ready to compromise in the SUV room? That said, the i20 n line is inherently more sporty than the names mentioned above.
And in achieving the same thing, there is a little compromise on the quality of travel.
The trip can be bumpy on an uneven road and the sound of the suspension is hard and troubling if the driver approaches speed breaks very carefully.
So convincing your old parents to ride the back seat may not be the most tempting business.
Hard effects or other disorders that can crept are NVH levels.
The three-cylinder motorbike changes noisy when pushed to the red line.
Features in gifts but are more expected, especially from the driver.
Ventilation of seats and electrical adjustments for where the driver can be considered while the front seat can have a better side.
Opportunities: While the quality of travel is difficult, this also freees freedom to the driver to cream through twisties.
It’s fanatical to drive.
And all these items come with an extraordinary distance in the tap.
Hyundai claims 20+ kmpl for both transmissions.
The level of driver’s involvement is much higher when DCT top-end is pushed.
The first transmission option in the segment, the N8 DCT is also equipped with a shift paddle behind the steering wheel that is rated properly.
This is an opportunity for buyers to choose a vibrant hatch that gets bells and whistles from the segment or two above.
It is also an opportunity for Hyundai to carve a niche on the market with n line.
The hope is high because Koreans expect sales of i20 to 20% of n line.
Threat: Prohibiting VW Polo GTI, there is no threat to i20 n line per se.
There is no car maker who intends to jump into the segment in the near future.
However, Hatchback Racy, compact traditionally does not fate as expected by the manufacturer.
Of course, Hyundai doesn’t need an introduction to this.
