Without using launch control it will do 6.2sec for 0-100km/hr. This specific car being tested has a faulty spring in the exhaust which causes an unusual annoying rattle that you might be able to hear. Fixed with a new spring under warranty from Hyundai. I've owned mine for 3 months and love it.
Because it's from Czechoslovakia. Kona N and I30N sedan from Korea. So later one are little bit more updated like digital dash, rear air vent, adaptive cruise control for dct etc.....
Not a fan of digital dashes as they become mainstream. But can't argue with the extra features and packaging. For a hot hatch give me clean Analogue gauges any day.
claimed = 6,7 0-100 km/h ; 6.4 sec with a correct launch control (i hated it). max speed 230 ? I reached 245 in a much shorter time than I thought... probably because it's clearly downhill, but just you guys know. so I agree with @PDriveTV I hated launch control , but i really love this car! she's cheap, in my opinion she's gorgeous! There's tons of tech from infotainment to safety, from level two autopilot to telemetry, android auto...everything. I practically use it on Sundays, or to go shopping or to work... perfect good good good Koreans for these times
man what are u saying, they are two differente cars. i20N is the best and the cheapest HH in the market... in Italy is 28.000 full optional and remember that in the end YOU decide the price...
We don't get i20 N in indian market.just get the regular range of i20 and sort of N line car with 4 disc brake, N styling and little stiffer dampers(from kia seltos)
Great little car but, every Hyundai I’ve driven has a speedo that is inaccurate. Drove a Sonata that was out by 8 kmh. You think you’re doing 100 kmh but really doing 92 kmh.
Hello nice video and try . I been waiting mine now , but I have a question ,can I use N mode before 1000km as long as I drive slow or is better use it after ?
No doubt manual is more fun. If I wanted a manual car, there are heaps of better options out there. This is a super mini that seems more suited for some spirited driving in the bloody rubbish city traffic and b roads so it would make sense to at least have a DSG option. Good thing the i30N comes with a DSG option and I might just pull the trigger on that instead.
With a DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission or automatic transmission, the acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h could be a little less than 6 seconds.🤔
Way less power and shitloads less torque yet barely slower than the i30N or Sonata N, simply because this can put what power it has down to the ground better. This is what I mean with FWD cars, point of diminishing returns cause they just can't get really high power outputs down cleanly.
I haven't heard that in any videos...maybe it's just quieter and the cameras don't pick it up well, or maybe the engine/exhaust system needs some miles on it first?
I mean sounds great, but there are a lot of these warm hatchbacks. And every single one seems to get 'like a go-kart' thrown around. I'm beginning to think that reviewers these days have never been in a go-kart.
@@PDriveTV I mean I certainly should take one for a test drive, always like to try a new manual gearbox - but I don't want to be bombarded by these statements. I mean this is no lotus elise right, its not actually similar to a go cart sitting way up there, which sure might be low for a hatch, but its still a hatch.
@@Blight-fp3vt It’s just an expression, a simile. Sorry to confuse you. Just to be clear though, this is a motor vehicle that offers 5 seats and it can be registered for public road use.

There is a time delay duration recommended in the manual for launch control so as not to damage the drive train and also get better performance figures (cooler clutch maybe) so maybe tests have been run too close together?
What are you comparing this too though, $50,000+ full size hot hatches? It's competition (in the Polo GTI and the Fiesta ST) is no faster. Besides 0-100 times tell only a fraction of the story. What makes a good hot hatch is driver engagement, not acceleration.
@@jetwells4528 i prefer boost, acceleration and just overall comfort. I dont want to go fast on a top speed level and I just like to get up to speeds quickly because I dont want speeding tickets 😝.

You taking on a cancelled order (for the I20)? I ordered mine in August and don't expect to have it for December!
Sounds impressive with the launch control, little rocket- well done Hyundai
Amazing engine note, I always thought that launch control was bad and this just proves my point
Bad for your tyres too
You would have to change revs setup everytime you want to use it based on the weather and other conditions for it to work, and that would be silly :)
Can't wait to get my polar white with TT roof in mid December.
Definitely going to be fun to drive.
You’ll love it 😃
ive got one and did 6.1 0-100 with launch control only second try havent done it since
Yes most testers don't hold second gear long enough.
One of the best litle sport car i think🔥
🔥🚀
One of the ultimate models of the engine petrol
The pullaways remind me bit of old rally cars.
I've always loved the N range from Hyundai, but since the Yaris GR came out, Hyundai really have some work to do, the GR is absolutely amazing!
It's also almost twice the price.
@@Dingotitan well, it's not, but you can keep telling yourself that. $33,000 VS $50,000 is not twice the price..
@@Michka1001 he said ALMOST not actually twice, and still that is still a huge price gap
Different type of car. For GR yaris money, you could buy an I30n with a cracking new 8spd dsg
The GR yaris is in a completely different price group, they're uncomparable, not to mention, i'm pretty sure the GR is sold at a massive loss.
If you do launch control 3rpm and better gear change will do 6 sec 0-100 !!
first time I saw your face in your channel 🙂
Interesting this has a digital dash ,yet the new i30n does not... cracking cars regardless though!

Same! We're aiming to test it in the next few weeks :)
cant wait to see a few of these with forged pistons rods and a big turbo kit lol
Hope they will get new mods and turbo for i20N in Australia.
Anyone notice how hot this little motor gets when giving it the beans? Might need some aftermarket cooling if you drive hard/track it
no. done 20 laps in it back to back
Like any other car while giving it a hard time? Sure 🙄
Comes with track warranty so no need
What colour do you feel sits best on the i20n ?
black
Is the car overheating in the final test? Seems a bit hot no?
The coolant and oil temps are well within range. After 110°C I'd be watching the gauges Little closer otherwise just send it.
Well done 👍
Yes please, I want one a lot now 😁😁😁
a bit expensive considering a manual sonata n-line is cheaper, low 30's is where this should be.
man what are u saying, they are two differente cars. i20N is the best and the cheapest HH in the market... in Italy is 28.000 full optional and remember that in the end YOU decide the price...

Great little car but, every Hyundai I’ve driven has a speedo that is inaccurate. Drove a Sonata that was out by 8 kmh. You think you’re doing 100 kmh but really doing 92 kmh.
All car speedos are out by as much as 10km/h. My Honda Civic for example is out by 6km/h 116km/h is 110km/h there is a reason for this.
Damn could you imagine youre looking for parking and realise you werent moving to begin with
Strange when they did a group test the I20 was the only Speedo that was accurate at all speeds.
I want one
Had no idea manual transmission could do launch control!
That being said, the 6.67 second time is disappointing considering Hyundai quote 6.2
Manual cars are always tricky - literally a different result every time. If you spent a day trying, we're sure you could get it lower than 6.67.
@@PDriveTV thanks for the explan makes sense 😀, still a cute little car with some serious attitude!
@Hughesy and Annalise
I have launch control on my 1984 Mitsubishi GSR Cordia Turbo.
Altitude will effect your performance compared to sea level.
Holding on to 2nd gear will get 6.2 secs to 100.
When are we testing a Kona N?
Soon...
what's the price for this little hot hatch in AUS?
From AU$32,490
100 in gear 2 not bad
Launch control is bringing a bit too much boost on and wheel spin.
yeah because it was 4,000rpm with launch control. Need change to 3,000rpm and it will be better for quick to 100km/h less than 6.6 sec.
Hello nice video and try . I been waiting mine now , but I have a question ,can I use N mode before 1000km as long as I drive slow or is better use it after ?
Best to use it after 1000km then N Mode. that's what all i20N does. I got over 1000km now in my i20N and N mode time
