The N badge has returned to South Africa as the Hyundai i20 as its sportiest model, but as before, in lukewarm N Line guise only.

Despite the less than speculator Atlas White and black roof paint option, the i20 still looks imposing and feisty and N Line guise.

Besides the drop in pedal count – another main reason for the manual-only i20 remaining Europe-side, the N Line also has sole access to the T-GDI engine as the rest of the range use the normally aspirated 1.2 and 1.4-litre units. Besides the N bumpers, door sills, badges, faux rear diffuser and rather fetching diamond-cut 16-inch alloy wheels, the N Line receives incrementally updated LED headlights, new L-shaped air inlets on the flanks of the front bumper, and new LED taillight clusters.

This means the i20 N Line retains the eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, but does get the new 10.25-inch cluster in addition to further model exclusivities such as automatic air-conditioning, a sunroof, a six-speaker Bose sound system, push-button start, keyless entry, remote engine start, Park Assist and a drive mode selector with three settings; Eco, Normal and Sport.

Often the cause for the biggest flak stemming from its dated appearance, the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-enabled infotainment system, remains as user-friendly as ever for not only its interface, but also the easy-to-use physical shortcuts on the outer side. The opposite applies to the front as the sunroof robs occupants of some headroom taller drivers will take exception to.That being side, the steering column and driver’s chair are height adjustable, however, the slimline design of the seats of won’t favour to among proportionally wider South Africans.

Of course, the opposite would be selecting Sport mode which, apart from spooling the turbo up faster, makes the steering heavier for a better feel.
