Hyundai i20 Vs Hyundai i20 N-Line: What's different?

Hyundai recently launched the i20 N-Line which also marked the entry of Hyundai's 'N' range of vehicles in the Indian market. The i20 N-Line starts from Rs 9.84 lakh will be sold through Hyundai's signature outlet network. The i20 N-Line offers plenty of cosmetic upgrades over the standard i20 which does make that 'N-Line' badge really speak for itself.

Hyundai India has retuned the suspension and steering set-up and fettled with the exhaust note for the Hyundai i20 N-Line and that would be the only mechanical difference between the regular i20 and the N-Line variant. While there is plenty to speak in terms of styling and badging, let's get down to what really makes the i20 N-Line stand apart from the i20.
