At the Frankfurt Motor Show, the South Korean carmaker Hyundai has shown a new generation of the 3rd generation i10 hatchback in the N Line configuration.

The i10 is the fourth release in the N Line, as the first model was shown back in 2018 with the i30. The advantages of this series include the exclusive 1.0 T-GDi powertrain, which makes the hatchback more dynamic.

External appearance

Like the regular i10, the 2020 N Line has a bold and fluid exterior. The overall concept of the style is based on the use of streamlined accents and linear relief.

front bumper trim in red color palette;
diffuser and model name plate on the rear pillar in red.

Interesting accents and trims are already on the bonnet. Among them is a scattering of stepped relief, which is harmoniously scattered over the surface of the lid. At a short distance from the hood, you can see the updated lighting fixtures, which have the most stylish and aggressive design.

The bumper body kit looks no less stylish. It is decorated with inserts of wavy and stepped relief. A triangular niche made of black plastic is integrated into the body kit, into which round fog lights are immersed. In the central part of the body kit there is an additional air intake, which contributes to the most efficient cooling of the engine compartment.

The profile projection stands out for its stylish and elegant design. Unusual accents are highlighted by the 2-color body paint. The upper part is reserved for glazing and a contrasting roof in black. The wide panes are separated by massive pillars. The door mirrors and turn signal repeaters are finished in black high-gloss. These structures are quite large.

The doors are decorated with embossed elements and stylish chrome handles. In the lower part of the body, there are massive wheel arches and original sills.

At the rear, the 2020 Hyundai i10 N Line is identified by a wide visor directed to the top and a glossy black roof. There are stop signals on the visor, and underneath there is a wide rear window, a luggage compartment lid and decorative elements:

stepped relief with transitions in height;
chrome nameplates and brand logo;
massive side lights in an unusual design.

Under the boot lid, there is a rear body kit with fog lamps, raised accents and a black diffuser in the center. The "charged" version of the city hatchback is equipped with two original exhaust pipes.
