Hyundai has unveiled the new i10 N Line variant. Along with Hyundai’s other N Line models, the i10 N Line introduces several external and internal design features influenced by the lauded i30 N, as well as chassis enhancements specific to the model.
With the Hyundai i10 N Line, the South Korean automaker also introduces the 1.0 T-GDi petrol engine, offering 100PS and 172Nm of torque from only 1500rpm.
N Line styling changes over the rest of the i10 range include exterior features such as a bespoke N Line front grille with integrated LED daytime running lamps, unique design N Line 16-inch alloys, N Line badging to the front wings, dual chrome exhaust tips, rear LED combination lamps and red stripe finishing to the front and rear bumpers.
The interior design of this hot hatch features includes N branded steering wheel and gear stick, N Line cloth seats with red stitching, rear privacy glass, black roof liner and red air vent details.
Along with the looks, the Hyundai i10 N Line also introduces many powertrain and chassis changes over the standard model. Power comes from the 3 cylinder 1.0 T-GDi petrol engine with 100 PS and 172 Nm of torque, giving a 0-62 time of 10.5 seconds and a 115 mph (185 kmph) top speed. Chassis changes for i10 N Line include an increased spring rate, longer rear bump stops and new rear shock absorbers with enhanced compression control.
Whilst Hyundai i10 N Line features different styling features, the model still follows the rest of the i10 range with a high level of standard connectivity in the form of standard Bluetooth with steering wheel controls and voice recognition and an 8-inch display audio system with subscription-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
An optional Tech Pack adds both navigation and Hyundai’s Bluelink telematics system which carries a free of charge 5-year subscription. Bluelink is a smartphone app-based connected car service that enables drivers to carry out a number of different functions whilst away from their vehicle, including remote central locking activation and vehicle parked location information.
In addition to the driver convenience features, Bluelink serves as a convenient diagnostic tool which will notify the driver of any vehicle maintenance issues that require attention. In addition to the above, the optional Tech Pack also offers wireless charging for compatible devices.
Hyundai i10 N Line also includes the same comprehensive SmartSense safety package found as standard across the i10 range. The SmartSense safety package includes Lane Departure Warning System with Lane Keep Assist (LKAS), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), High Beam Assist (HBA) and Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) with integrated Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), and eCall, which can automatically dial emergency services in the event of a serious accident, shortening response times and improving post-accident protection. Customers choosing the optional Tech Pack also benefit from Intelligent Speed Limit Warning (ISLW).
Hyundai i10 N Line is available in a choice of 4 colours, with a no-cost option solid finish and a choice of 3 pearl finishes for £550.
All-New i10 N Line models come with Hyundai’s industry-leading 5 Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty, Roadside Assistance package, 5 Year Annual Health Check, and 12 Year Anti Corrosion Warranty.
