Hyundai i20 N Line: pricing and rivals
With the demise of the Polo GT TSI, the i20 N-line does not have a direct rival anymore. If compared with turbo-petrol engine equipped hatchbacks, the Altroz iTurbo with its 110hp engine can be termed as a rival. However, the turbo-petrol engine equipped Altroz does not get different exhaust or suspension tuning like the i20 N-line.
