We will. Should get the full N performance version too. But I'd rather have the i20 N....Do you believe the US will get no N-Line Kona's?

Thanks for your insights on this.We will. Should get the full N performance version too. But I'd rather have the i20 N....
The Hyundai 7-speed DCT is fairly clunky. Kind of how most DCT transmissions are. Hyundai is really bad about releasing info on new cars or putting them on their website until cars are on dealer lots.Thanks for your insights on this.
For undisclosed reasons, the 2021 Kona's are not being introduced on schedule, at least not the facelifted versions. I wonder when we can expect these? Reviews I've seen of earlier model years have reported clunky shifts from the DCT, yet Asian reviews of the 2021 N-Line appear to have extremely seamless and smooth shifts from the DCT. Are you aware of improvements having been made to this transmission for all versions coming in 2021?
For reference:Incorrect, actually. It's the new smartstream 1.6L that pretty much only has it's displacement and power level in common with the current/past 1.6L.
I think most of it's okay, but I'd prefer if the slash going up the body side intersected with the one coming off the top of the rear lights. That looks more like an error in the clay model than a design choice.That's one aesthetically challenged car. Blimey.
The pre-facelift i20 was bearable, if a little boring. Personally, I thought the post-facelift was a disaster from the same angle - That black insert looks lost on such a generic looking package and it looks under-wheeled.View attachment 1066810
Look at it, I mean that is a clown's car. Too flashy, too much bling-bling. The previous model is a much better looking car.
I was wrong. I thought this was the new N i30. Oops. But still, this N i20 looks like a clown's car.The pre-facelift i20 was bearable, if a little boring. Personally, I thought the post-facelift was a disaster from the same angle - That black insert looks lost on such a generic looking package and it looks under-wheeled.
The new i20 is bound to divide opinion, like with much of Hyundai's current lineup, but I appreciate its aggressive styling on the N-Line/N variants. The tail lights are reminiscent of the Lexus IS (that sadly we don't get here).
Excuse the poor quality, I'm not great at the whole photoshop stuff, but here is a quick colour in of the Black sections, front and rear, that I didn't really like.Two things I would do if I bought one:
- Ditch the 19's
- Get the black parts of the front bumper painted body color

That ducktail is so clean and mature looking. Something like that would look amazing on the new car.They are for now, so it would have been. 8-Speed DCT isn't available until next year.
Speaking of...
If only they sold this in the US. 👎
There are a crap ton of companies that have been under-represented in GT and Korean brands are among them. At this point, Hyundai has put out numerous worthy cars over the past 10+ years.If we don't get the Veloster N in GT7, I'll be a bit peeved.
That's awesome! Congrats!Just bought a 2019MY i30N Performance Fastback.

Picking it up tomorrow. I have to say the build quality inside blew me away, as in comparison to my current (2019) Rav-4 is a step up all round, and damn is it a fun drive.
