Powering the Hyundai i20 N Line is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. The motor produces 120 PS of power and 172 Nm of torque. Hyundai has not made any changes to the already powerful motor. Hyundai offers a 6-speed iMT transmission, a clutch-pedal-less manual transmission and a 7-speed DCT automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
In the mechanical department, Hyundai has tweaked the steering torque to offer more centre weight and feedback. Hyundai has also changed the dampening characteristics of the suspension, which offer a stiffer ride. This allows the i20 N Line to dive into corners with ease.

The brand has also employed an N Line specific steering wheel and a growly N Line twin-tipped exhaust muffler. The i20 N Line also comes with N branded 16-inch diamond-cut allow wheels.

These include chequered flag design radiator grille with N Line logo, sportier front and rear bumpers, as well as side skirts. The new bodywork also comes with athletic red accents that help distinguish the N Line from the standard. The car also features a new spoiler, diffuser and N Line logos.
On the inside, the i20 N Line comes with an N Line specific leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob with N branding. The car also comes with a dark interiors theme. The i20 N Line features chequered flag theme on the seat upholstery, athletic red accents on the dashboard and sporty pedals.
