Real consumption when you are in the eco mode on the highway under 130km/h is approx 7 liters. In the city without extensive trafic jams in normal mode you can reach 7,5 liters. Of course, these measures applies only when you are not in the mode - pedal to the metal :) but even for daily commute this is an amazing machine. What else can take away office stress better than a cold start on undergorund parking when the car makes such beautiful noise, or when in sport mode and coming down on revs for red light stop:) great car!
Mine will hopefully arrive before November. I couldn't care less about the rear head and leg room, boot space or how many cupholders it has, and I'm sure I'm not alone. It's hot hatch.
Very nice car, especially in black. Will you make a comparison with the Fiesta ST or ST Edition ? Maybe it would be also interesting to compare with a previous hot hatch like the Peugeot 208 GTI BPS ?
This is a really funky design. I really like the look of their new electric Integrale.... errr Ioniq 5 and this works really well too. Some of their other efforts are a little over the top.
Fun little fact, since its based of the Hyundai WRC car its the same weight and on hyundai's dedicated N website you can see the comparison. It looks eerily similar
it would be epic if you compared a new age hot hatch such as this i20n with an older age hot hatch such as honda civic fn2 type r . Very close specs, close in weight and horsepower aswell as both manual transmission. Major difference is one is turbo the other is vtec power!
This guy's a prat. Firstly, it looks great in black, so much so I've ordered mine in black. Strange how all the stuff he mentions as negatives, no other test has picked up..and oh no, only one shopping bag hook..🙄
You need to a professional drag racer to get that perfect shift. I recommend flat shifting don't remove your foot off the accelerator pledal when engaging the clutch aggressively and don't take your time when clutching quick rapid flat shifts.
You only need to shift from 1st to 2nd. Second bounces off the rev limiter just above 100kh, that's why a lot of reviewers have awful times. That being said it should be 6.7 or 6.5 should be quite doable even when shifting into 3rd gear, I have no idea why he was that slow (almost 8s is close to a normal car lol).
@@justsam100 agree reviewers don't seem to understand this on many cars, if a cars second gear can reach 100 it will almost always be it's fastest time.
Hmm, people can drive it normally around 7 litres/100km. No idea where you got 10litres. With sport riding or faster riding yes, in normal mode, normal speeds, no rewing over 5k, easy 6-7 litres (outside of city)
If you spec up the Fiesta ST to match everything the i20N has you are looking at nearer 27k, fact. Also, £555 over a year is bugger all, if you are worried about a few hundred quid you probably shouldn’t be driving a performance car.
@@ast5515 the turbo is different, injection is different and the valve timing have been tuned especially for this car. The transmission is also different, which plays no small part on how the engine delivers its power. Same basic block, but different where it matters.
@@justsam100 My problem has nothing to do with the turbo or injection or valve timing. Or the transmission... It's a software issue created intentionally in order to comply with emissions.
@@MarekDrives Quite possibly. Might have to change the engine/exhaust to lower emissions. I did watch another video yesterday of someone test driving one and they were told by Hyundai that it's 6.4 seconds. And that was in the UK, where it says 6.7 on the website. Its all a bit confusing right now 😂
It's not the camera angle. It's just that most reviewers are sitting too far back, often too laid back. If you attend a driving school, chances are you'll find out you've been sitting wrong behind the wheel all your life. Granted, you have to make do with whatever adjustment is available in a given car, and it is sometimes difficult to find the optimum sitting position, but it's not me too close to the wheel here. I need to be able to turn the steering wheel quickly, and I won't achieve that with my hands stretched out.
3 Questions : - What did you mean at the end when you mentioned it was good unless you had to drive for a long time (was that fuel related / comfort etc.)? -Did you do the 0-100 without traction control at all? -What on Earth is ‘Ow Toe’ 😂 - Never heard (Auto [‘Or Toe’]) pronounced like that.
The car is a gun and comfortable too when you go for a trips . And the economy fuel is much appreciated when you drive normal . Now if you have fun and go fast of course you’ll get less fuel economy. I think your review about the negatives was rubbish you should search better before do it !
No DCT version? Perhaps if there is the time of 6.2 could be attained. Sadly we wont see this variant in ZAR but they are launching the Kona N derivative although its a bit of a marmite car in my opinion.
No. I have pre-facelift i30 N and i30 Fastback N, and there's just not enough potential audience to invest more time and effort in doing the facelift. Hot hatches in general perform rather poorly on this channel, so I have no incentive.
Based on the i30 N I have driven a few years ago, the Veloster N (basically the same car underneath) should be a blast! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UrGPUf3DKe8.html
On my mind and in black that car remember me the Fiat Punto. Yet, I don't like that kind of car. As you say it's a machine to enjoy over mountain roads and on weekends. Usually that cars are as a little rude boy to do a 400km trip in a day. But, here maybe some one can love it the idea. But, ny time to that tipe of cars is going to end and on my mind still alive the AMG but... I don't know yet
Nice car for a track or some country roads to blow some steam. But not for normal daily use or traveling. In 5-6 years most manufacturers will sell mostly electric vehicles so the i20N is probably the last of its kind.
@@Gunzberg Depends on the engine. 1.0 and 1.6 ecoboosts were objectively shit. 1.5 4 cylinder ecoboost was shit. I know because I had one. They couldn't fix the fucking thing under warranty so I tossed it. The 1.5 3 cylinder is also shit. Just read up on it. MK8 Fiesta / MK4 Focus groups contain a lot of info.
@@MarekDrives www.carwow.co.uk/hyundai/news/2980/hyundai-i20-n-price-specs-release-date#gref and hyundai n own website all say 6.7 www.hyundai-n.com/en/models/n/i20-n.do u never made lower then 6.7 lol so 6.2 not even makes sense with only 200 hp my 2 liter 220 hp not even does 6.2
This is Hyundai's European media site. Press kit. Technical spec sheet. www.hyundai.news/eu/models/performance/i20-n/press-kit.html Carwow is not as reliable, as Hyundai's own press site. Hyundai-n.com doesn't seem to be a European site.
