The i20 N is Hyundai's light hot hatch and, in run-out for 2026, one of the last affordable, manual-only performance cars on sale in Australia. A 1.6-litre turbo four makes 150kW and 275Nm (304Nm on overboost), driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual and a mechanical limited-slip differential. At about 1210kg it is properly quick, with a 6.7-second 0-100km/h claim and a 230km/h top speed, plus launch control, rev-matching and an active variable exhaust. It keeps a manual handbrake and skips adaptive dampers, so it is the raw, old-school hot hatch of the range. Note the i20 N carries no current ANCAP rating, so safety is listed as no data rather than a star score. Production ends March 2026 with stock expected into late 2026.

The i20 N Shadow Edition is a 100-unit farewell run-out of Hyundai's light hot hatch, offered in Abyss Black or Atlas White from $41,500 before on-road costs. Mechanically it is identical to the standard i20 N: a 150kW/275Nm (304Nm overboost) 1.6-litre turbo, six-speed manual, mechanical limited-slip diff and a 6.7-second 0-100km/h claim. The Shadow Edition adds matte bronze 18-inch flow-forged wheels on Pirelli tyres, bronze lower-door decals, black wheel nuts, an Alcantara steering wheel and shifter and a numbered plaque. Like the standard car it has no current ANCAP rating, so safety is listed as no data. It marks the end of the manual, petrol i20 N before the nameplate moves to hybrid.
