#hyundai #i20n #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Had mine for 5 days.
Rev matching is a dream, corners are so much fun.
Ride is a little rough, but that is the price to pay for feeing solid as a rock through the corners.
Can’t stress enough how fun it is.
I enjoy my drive to work, hard to put a value on that.
What about the dodgy rev jump on upchange and the rev hang?
@@ad_182_uk never happens to me maybe like 1/100 times not even
@@ad_182_uk hearsay, your Honor.
Never heard of the first problem and the second one you mention is just the how the flywheel works in this car, it's barely noticeable.
@@ad_182_uk only exists on eco and normal mode really, sport and N get rid of it completely
5000RPM on launch control? Brave! 3000RPM seems to be the real sweet spot for launching - much closer to the 6.2s Hyundai claim.
Might as well not use LC if you're gonna launch at 5k TBH
Great review Paul as always nice pocket rocket.
Great review, guys!
Great review Paul as always nice pocket
Great review Paul, seems like you could have added some mortein sponsorship too. Bang for buck I think the car is excellent, reflecting on the fact it also has warranty for non-competitive track use - what a bonus and confidence in the product from Hyundai. Looking forward to short listing this as a potential purchase later this year.
bad flies!! go away!! and thanks paul, for the professionalism!
this car is very nice especially in blue and engine is very good sounds very good it is super loud
Just drove 6000km. So far so good. With this price tag can't complain too much. Love my first N car!
So it's only 25k then? . If so it wouldn't be too bad a car for OZ. Anything over that and it's way overpriced for that interior though.
been waiting for this one. love my i20n, its black and I got it last year. amazing car
Nice! I’ve seen a black one. Great colour choice!
how many time have you waited till the deliver?
@@i20Naughty one month. by the time I ordered it they already had one ready in australia
@@jayonefive234 what a luck
Great video and great review! Though next time please get rid of any flies so that they don't bother you ;P
Ordered one in phantom black two months ago. I don't like the wheels and am already shopping around, but I can't wait for her to get here. I already named her Betty lol.
That fly stayed till the end of review 😂
Tip: If you apply sound mat to the inside door sheetmetal...it will sound like a BMW when closing! I do it to ALL my cars...cost maybe $30 a car. I do the spare tire compartment too.
Great tip!
Hey tigerbalm, can you share the particular please.
TIA
Hey Paul. Looking forward to this one.
Enjoy!
Good review.
How did you not lose your marbles with those flies attacking your head like that? I would have started punching the air while dropping f-bombs as loud as I could 😆
He did... Let's just say we had fun editing this video 😂 - Igor
@@CarExpertAus You should do an end of year bloopers reel.
I love that the presence of rev hang was mentioned in the review in a negative light. I feel not enough emphasis is put on this when reviewing cars marketed at the driving enthusiast, as throttle response (both opening and closing) makes a huge difference to the user experience and enjoyment in a manual car. If the car is marketed at being fun and engaging it is a huge shame when there is a noticable delay between the movements of your right foot and the rise and fall of the engine revs. In a manual-only performance car it is exponentially more disappointing again and should be made a point of.
Going further, one thing I'd also love to see in more enthusiast car reviews is a comment on how (or if) the car's different driving modes effect the rev hang. 'Sharpened throttle response' is usually the best we get when sportier driving modes are advertised, but it almost always only refers to a quicker ramp ONTO throttle for a given input, and the rev hang when coming OFF throttle is still present. Rev hang is a byproduct of the throttle closing behaviour being tuned to minimise emissions, so there is no reason the manufacturer couldn't leave it as-is for 'normal' or 'eco' modes then tune the throttle response to mimic pedal movements 1:1 in sport mode - it'd help with driving engagement in new manual cars massively. (For what it's worth, I daily drive a Kia Picanto GT which I bought brand new last year as I couldn't justify the extra $15k for a Fiesta ST. It's manual-only car and is great fun to punt around, but even with an aftermarket throttle controller the rev hang coming off throttle is pronounced and does rob the car of some driver engagement).
Very well said. If I can't find correctly tuned new manua,l will just give up and buy auto or wait till electric is cheaper..
It is possible to get it tuned.. its just few settings of throttle body and decelerative systems.. fiesta 1.0 eco boost had the longest revhang i had seen and he went to the tuner and now it drives like NA mechanical body.. absolutley zero rev hang.. and he charged around 100e for retune.
My hyundai i20n is on order and i cant wait to get it and as i drove it normaly on testing it had very little revhang . On sporty driving its way more noticable so i will get it tuned
@@thespike1231 who's your tuner lol. I have heard that rev hang is more of a behavior coded into the ECU than tune. But good for you nonetheless
@@maxcardenas8257 all behaviors can be tuned on ecus.. on some german cars they are mostly untunable but most of other cars and especialy sporty the ecus ar pretty open.
@@thespike1231 ok well good luck with your i20n
even though i cant drive a three pedal car its refreshing to see a three pedal only car in 2022
You sir have not lived.
@@minimumtrade ahahah
Im only just off my Ps and only had my mum available to teach me to drive and she only had a auto car
Now we just need the review for the I30n Sedan DCT so I can get Pauls approval to buy one 🤣
Ha ha. Will try and get my hands on one soon!
Just buy one. I just got a dct hatch. It’s amazing.
Hey Paul, Are you planning to review the upcoming Polo GTI?
Can’t find your Kona N review anywhere!
Let Chris take it for a spin around the track so we really know what it's like !
Thanks mate your the best Aussie reviewer just ordered one! Would love the i30n dct but for another 20k I can't justify it!
I wish this came in DCT. I need a second run-around car but unfortunately my wife isn’t that good with manuals. Might need to pay that extra for the i30 N DCT 🤷🏽
i30 is roomier too. Tbh auto is just plain better for a daily commuter car, traffic jams, suburbia, etc - I see no issue with auto hot hatches. I can’t be bothered with manuals but that doesn’t mean I don’t want a quick car.
Edit: what worries me is the suspension tune too, sometimes they’re too firm for the crappy roads we face daily. I have a SP25, more warm sedan than anything but absorbs bumps well - shame that we need to sacrifice ride comfort just for quick acceleration in a lot of these models.
@@User-cb4jm "Tbh auto is just plain better for a daily commuter car, traffic jams, suburbia, etc - I see no issue with auto hot hatches." - I love manuals, but this is the reason I ordered a DCT i30N. Tbh manual gets anoying when the car in front of you needs 10 years to to shift from first to second gear and you have to shift like a granny, or constant stop and go, drivers driving not around the speed limit, but all over it, etc.
Could you add the cost of the vehicles that you’re comparing to?
Mate! I swear I'm about to purchase one and ever after I saw your review of the Fiesta St, I was lookinf forward to hear what you think about this one!
They are good fun, but I just liked the Fiesta a little more.
@@CarExpertAus Mate thanks a lot for ya answer, I was so thorn that I let the i20N slip out of my hand...now I think I'll might go with the Fiesta St, mainly because I understood that I simply don't like the Hyundai enough, like I could go with the Fiesta in any colour, but the i 20n I find it pretty only in black...what do you reckon?
Id prefer it in black... brings out the beast look in the car
Review the i30n sedan! I ordered one a month ago.
Let’s do a comparison against the Fiesta ST, and possibly the BRZ/GR86! They are at similar price range, and are probably contesting for the most affordable fun car title! I’m interested in all 3 😁
Vw too
I took delivery of mine last Friday. You get used to the rev hang and learn to get around it. I bloody love mine. Dragon red TTR option.
The over-rev comment is spot on. I have it on my i20, too. One of the only downsides to the car tho!
Fair warning: current prices are 35k+ driveaway despite the 32k RRP. Wait times are up too. Not trying to dissuade anyone - already bought mine.
Insane that I bought my I30N for 38k pre Covid brand new. Middle class is quickly becoming lower class.
It doesn't look overly low but at 101mm empty, there's not a lot of wiggle room for it to cop a defect in stock trim 😂
Paul is going to war with piano black, I love that he hates it and states it in every video
I refuse to buy any vehicle with any gloss black in it that is not attached to a hifi plate or something lol. The Mark Levinson in the Lexus often has a single plate of gloss black but that is all they used to have. As of the IS and the new SUV's though it's starting to intrude into other places.
There needs to be a worldwide boycott of all cars until it is removed from all vehicles before sale. Fake Carbon fibre should die along side it too.
Doe Hyundai sell the regular i20 in Australia?
Nope. Only the i20N.
Same case with the Fiesta. The regular Fiesta isn’t sold in Ozzyland, but the Fiesta ST is sold there.
Nein.
Updated FiST due March (?). 🤞 for a comparison.
That fly was trying to take the spotlight lol
The quality must be as bad as the first Exel John Hughes brought to Perth back in 1986.
Showing pictures of the donk was a good touch at 12:05. I really think the i20N is more appealing than Polo GTI and Fiesta ST. Great review as always Paul.
Is the blue highlights on the seats blue in every car, or does it change to match the paintwork on each car?
Good question! I’m not entirely sure. I’ve only seen blue ones.
@@CarExpertAus I would hope that it's paint matched.
@@adventurefound nah always blue ahahaah
i ordered white and yeah im glad the interior isnt matching
@@curtissbachmann2908 White seats would at least jazz it up a bit though. It looks like it was assembled in Kmart from a flatpack.
Always blue and abilight is allways blue.. he didnt mention them.. its wery nicely lit by night.
Great car...but mine and a number of others are stranded with mechanical failure. We're having an epidemic of i20N fuel pump failures in Australia which has left myself and an ever growing number of other i20N owners with no car and currently no idea when they will be fixed. Head on over to Hyundai i20N owners club Australia to see for yourself
Omg those flies!!! 🪰🪰🪰 Nice car though 😂
great styling, better than the fiesta ST, perhaps doesn't handle as well but small price to pay as most won't go on a track!
I have a new favourite car now.
This car is a peach👏👏👏
That rev hang is a real bummer. Makes quickly rowing through the gears smoothly nearly impossible. Curious to see if it can be removed with a tune?
I have the proceed GT with the same engine and it is really annoying. I wish they had fixed this - never been a fan of the engine.
@@Pillik03 going for a test drive today. Let's how bad it is compared to my bmw
I'm not sure if it was me or the car but yeah the revs shoot up after you shift. Last 2 manual cars I drove never did that.
@Kerim Temel what generation type r? I have seen the option to disable rev hang in those cars with 3rd party things
Baby Blue WTF! It is called Performance Blue. Of all the cars I have owned over 40 years this colour on my i30N has received the most positive comments.
i30N Line for similar money probably a better all round daily driver ? Even though it's starting to look a bit dated...
i20N more fun I suspect to drive.
Only one colour for me being the Performance Blue.
Hyundai needs to focus that N performance chassis welding on the centre console mounting brackets.
John R B
-Tip: Feedback on this shortcoming to the Hyundai carmaker!.😉
😅
Please do the Kona N next
Your wish is my command. Coming next week.
Sweet as just in time for when I get mine soon hopefully
@@CarExpertAus That thing rides even worse than this on Aussie roads lol. Why would people want uncomfortable track focused cars as daily drivers when our roads just putting it mildly are pieces of crap in quality lol
Hey Paul great review. I actually bought a Fiesta ST based on your review of it. I don't regret it and glad I bought it. I think the I20N does look nicer but from everything I've read/heard the Fiesta is the more fun car to drive.
Hi Steve, I like the Fiesta ST but some reviewers have shown concern for the steering( it flicks back to centre?) have you found any probs or discomfort this? Thanks Mate
very very nice car.
I would probably get white, silver or red with the black roof
No adaptive suspension and it looks like it soaks up the bump better then the other N.
Hello nice video . I been waiting mine now , but I have a question ,can I use N mode before 1000km as long as I drive slow or is better use it after ?
Good question... I have the same curiosity
Im waiting for mine too! 1000 km is not that much you can do it in two or three days so maybe use N Mode after you hit 1000 KM
@@sperformance.96 thank you mate , yeah sounds good I’ll do this and then after first service I use it in n mode … drive safe !!
Hello @CarExpert, what kind or rear suspension does I20N have?
Anyone purchased one so far? If so, how much did you end up getting off the list price?
You are lucky if you can get one never mind discounted prices, I waited 4 mths from order to delivary.
Those flys bothering you mate?
Well, if it isn't the Bloke. Loved your Veloster review.
Comparing to a Fiesta? A... Ford? I don't think I have driven any car in recent days that felt poorer in quality than my neighbors Fiesta. Just about everything felt like it was bad quality. From the gearshifter to the way it rides. Never driven the N. Just a regular i20. But that actually felt ok. And was quite a fun car. So I presume the N would be a blast.
You do realise that this registration number has been absolutely ragged by journalists since October including 8 motor magazines including Top Gear UK in the washboard road in Western NSW. It has also been launched controlled every journ plus revved the stuffing out of it for yhe exhaust noise. So quality is completely subjective. However you didn't take it on a mountain run nor a property racetrack. That is where it shines. The Fist is great but just different . Don't know why you point out the differences between the Indian made i20 as they are no sold here. As to the Fiesta....you won't find many. .
My immediate reaction is that the front looks a lot like an Audi, and if I ever bought this car I’d put the Audi logo on the grille to see if anyone would notice.
It looks like a fish, i haven't seen an Audi that looks like a fish lol . They always look like class. This looks like the bottom of that class.
👍🏻👍🏻
What's next i10 N? The new mini.
Korean beast ❤
yum car
In all black it is tolerable otherwise it looks too gay.
Do I have to wait 6 months to get one?
I suppose that's why no dealers call you back. No stock!
I hope not! Keen to understand what the stock level is like if anybody knows?
Yeah 6 month wait on these. A few people are sneaking in a cancelled order. April 30 I get mine!
I am so desperate to get a new car I'm not waiting 12 months to get a stinger GT line
@@CarExpertAus I've come into some cash and I need a new car, impossible to get a straight answer from anyone I just want a new car.
better looking than veloster n
Nice car, too bad it's interior is still so cheap. And gotta ask about those flies? Is that normal in summer in all of Australia??
Yep, every summer the flies are really bad.
ayo i see that contact name at 8:38
It’s the missus 😁
@@CarExpertAus sexy mumma 😛
I wish hyundai brought this car to the 🇺🇸 😔
bout keen as a bean to pick up my i20N this Saturday…
I don't know why the US doesn't bring this over.
Wonder how many flies paul has accidentally swallowed during this review.
The only country where you can buy the i20N outside of Europe is Ozzyland.
yes this is the only available right now
@@aimanfitri0iv The same case can be said for the new Fiesta ST and Focus ST.
You can only get them in Europe and Ozzyland. Ford (in my opinion stupidly) pulled them out of North America.
@@DaveDVideoMaker because the reason in the us is raising of suvs and pickup trucks they are everywhere
@@aimanfitri0iv Well, that trend is stupid.
At some point, I’m gonna go to a car dealership and do practicality tests between a regular subcompact hatchback and a subcompact crossover and work out (practicality wise) whether these crossovers are more useful than hatchbacks.
@@DaveDVideoMaker we have to get used to it unfortunately it's what it is
Get rid of the flies!! 😂
classic Australian summer dead bugs all over the front end
13:25 It's called rev matching and you should know it.
I want one, but it must be a 100% korean made
Fmd those flies 🪰
😅
lol im so early! 243th viewer, normally im hours late 😂 😆
🙌
The manual rev hang is a deal breaker. Totally not necessary. Makes gear changes clunky and not intuitive.
How dare you NOT wear som Puma shoes driving that hot hatch???
Ha ha. Extra 2 tenths.
i20N > Fiesta ST
@@minimumtrade nope
I like more serious hot hatches to drive so i agree! It's the better track tool..
@@interizkiller FiST is both quicker and more fun (PIVOT) using narrower tyre footprint. Tells you everything.
@@minimumtrade fun is subjective
That wobbliness is a bit too much even for a car at this price range.
What is with all car makers and their 0.5 Celsius steps in aircon (climate) control settings? When are they going to snap out of it? Does anyone really notice the difference of 0.5 Celsius in the car? It just doubles the clicks to get to the desired temp. Even most home aircons are a full degree in steps. OK maybe in Bentley, Rolls, Lexus, Merc etc as a gimmick but now even in N20?! A hot hatch? 0.5 degrees steps? Really?
I'll be interested to see if people notice it. Lucky it's not Fahrenheit hey.
0.5 increments is fine. Though its rather painful in my Megane 3 RS with Dual zone CC. It's up and down switches instead of a rotary knob, awful!
Did anyone else notice the gaps on the panels on the front were a bit wonky?
It's Korean expect poor build quality.
Will just take this opportunity to say (again) screw you Hyundai NZ, $54000 +orc with a non competitive 3year warranty - I don’t know what you’ve been smoking but it’s making you deluded. Assume you don’t care but I’ve cancelled my order and instead ordered the facelift 2022 FiST for $42k with 5 year warranty. Why do you think in NZ the i20N is worth 30% more than the FiST or Polo GTi?! Well, I can tell you it isn’t…
😳 that’s insane money! How are they so expensive in NZ?
@@CarExpertAus can only guess that it is the fact Hyundai NZ is not owned by Hyundai, rather a local distributor - across the range, prices are outrageous. In contrast Kia NZ is owned by Kia and NZ pricing is very much aligned with pricing in Australia. As such Kia NZ basically sells twice as many cars as Hyundai NZ…
Either Hyundai NZ has insane margins or they have an ongoing feud with Hyundai Korea (or combination of both). Unfortunately no motoring journalists in NZ have taken Hyundai NZ to task over their uncompetitive pricing to find out the core reason - clearly too scared to lose advertising $.
Absolutely when I saw the price release the other week I was laughing. It's daylight robbery. I was so hyped and was going to by one myself but it's almost scalping. Even the GR Yaris was only $55k NZD when you could get one and you can't really compare the two. Same it really puts the Fiesta into context of real value.
@@CarExpertAus NZ has a similar problem to what we do compared to the USA. They get absolutely gouged on car prices. Look at the price of the Mustang in USA compared to what Ford charges for one in OZ similarly set up. Only a fool would buy a brand car in Australia. Just buy it 12 months old with low k's and you save over 20k depending on the car and it's initial price.
R8val gr yaris
They used Plastic to keep weight down I assume. Why cuss a car when the price has to stay down. You want pure luxury then buy a top end car from BMW mercedes Audi Bentley etc.
This model (Performance "Sport" package) would also need a DCT transmission as an alternative, which adds a bit more curb weight (about +30-40kg 🤔), but by adding horsepower... a "rocket" would be the case in this model.😉👍🏼👌🏼😁
The manual is good fun!
They had a DCT prototype and I suspect they’ll eventually offer a DCT version being the polo gti has one
@@CarExpertAus -Ok. 🙂
hot hatches should always be manual, if you're gonna buy an auto one just stick to economy cars
DCT weight on the front axle makes it an understeering pig, needs more tyre then to compensate.
Looked at the porsche maccan gts, Mercedes glc43 AMG, Audi Q7 and in the end opted for the x5 30d. As I found it had largest boot space and ticked all the boxes for me and my family. I think the have really nailed it with the current model. Of course I purchased the x5 30d loaded with full extras.
Yeah cool cool cool... What does that have to do with this review....?
It's performance blue not baby blue! Heck even light blue is a better word lol.
I would get this...but I has a Mazdaspeed3...
I hate flies !
Tell me about it!
Me too!
Has there ever been an infotainment with Android auto covering the full screen? Why Apple car play covers the full screen and Android auto doesn't time and time again is beyond me.
I believe the Suzuki Vitara had a full screen integration and a couple of the Chinese made vehicles. There was supposedly an AA update late 2021 that fixes this issue but the problem is that the car manufacturers also need to bring out a firmware update on their end and many of them haven't done that. Probably the most egregious AA integration has to be the latest Subarus with the big portrait screen where it uses only the top half of the screen for the entire thing
who cares
I think the latest Toyota and Lexus SUV's do but not entirely sure. I never use Android anyway.
hyundai need to find a new hero colour for the N's. that blue has aged really badly
It always looked like poor house paint.
Still the most popular choice..buyers disagree!
You could say the i20n looks very fly....
The door on my microwave sounds more ‘sturdy’ than that awful noise I just heard on this review 😂
