As seen in the spy images, the front and rear profile of the test mule is draped under camouflage, concealing the key details. However, we don't get to see a clear picture of the front fascia. But, it gives away details of the rear profile, showing a dual-tip exhaust that we have already seen in the previous spy images. The car is expected to get an aggressive exterior styling, N Line inspired interiors, revised suspension, new multi-spoke alloy wheels, upgraded brakes, LED taillights and more. Giving a closer look at images, the alloy wheels appear to be larger than the regular model, which could be either 15-inch or 16-inch. Do note, the international-spec model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels.

Mechanically, the European-spec i20 N uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged GDi engine making 201 bhp and a maximum torque of 275 Nm, while mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine is the first of a new generation to feature in a European Hyundai model. The company says the all-new i20 N can clock 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.7 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 230 kmph. However, the India-spec i20 N could borrow a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine from the regular i20, which produces 120 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque. However, the exact mechanical details of the upcoming i20 N are yet to be revealed.
