I20 N Shadow Edition: Hyundai bids farewell to the i20 N with a new Shadow Edition: Limited to 100 units! |

Korean Automaker Hyundai recently unveiled the latest generation i20 in Brazil, bringing significant changes to its predecessor. The updated hatchback is expected to make its way to more international markets in the coming months. Before that, the company unveiled the Shadow Edition of the current i20 N for the Australian market. Unlike Hyundai’s N Line offerings, the N-badged models are built with a stronger focus on outright performance, and Australia remains one of the few markets where the i20 N is officially sold.

The i20 N Shadow Edition is limited to just 100 units, and the special edition will receive cosmetic upgrades while retaining the standard model’s mechanical package. Launch plans for other markets remain unknown, and it’s also unclear if the new-generation model will make an N-badged performance variant.Talking about the engine first, it continues to get a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 204hp and 275Nm. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, which sends power to the front wheels. Hyundai claims that the hot hatch can accelerate from 0-100kph in 6.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 230kph.

The new i20 N Shadow Edition comes with 18-inch forged alloy wheels finished in matte bronze with black center caps, along with bronze decals on the lower sections of the doors. Buyers can choose from two exterior colors, out of the five available on the regular i20 N. The rest of the exterior remains unchanged, featuring N-specific styling elements such as sportier bumpers, red accents, rear spoiler and an oval exhaust outlet.Moving inside, the special edition gets an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel and gear lever, a numbered plaque under the central air vents and custom rubber floor mats modeled on the tread pattern of the Pirelli P Zero tires fitted to the car. Other features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, fully digital cluster, Bose audio system, heated front seats, launch control, rev match function, Performance telemetry and lap timer, mechanical limited-slip differential (e-LSD), variable exhaust system and more.
