Overview
- Hyundai executives have confirmed development of a new i20 N and said prototypes are currently undergoing road and track testing.
- Company leaders indicate the successor will most likely use a revised 1.6-litre hybrid powertrain based on existing Hyundai technology.
- Hyundai N says it will continue to develop ICE and hybrid performance cars and is not moving to an electric-only lineup.
- Engine and battery management work is being prioritised to deliver stronger performance and Nürburgring-capable lap times, which could complicate packaging and drivetrain choices.
- Exact specs, transmission options, regional timing and a formal reveal date remain unconfirmed and will vary by market as Hyundai finalises the European version.
