It is likely to get sportier alloy wheels and an updated cabin with N Line themed styling.

Dimension-wise, the i20 N Line will remain identical to the regular i20. The overall length remains at 3995 mm, a width of 1775 mm, and a height of 1505 mm. The wheelbase of the car will stand unchanged at 2580 mm.
