The biggest update is the discontinuation of the N6 DCT, which narrows the automatic option to the range-topping N8 trim only. The N6 variant also loses dual-tone exterior colour choices in the latest revision.<\/p>\n<p>    Automatic option now limited<\/p>\n<p>The latest reshuffle changes the way customers can buy the i20 N Line. Earlier, the hatchback was offered with more flexibility across trims, but the updated structure now makes the seven-speed DCT available only on the N8. Buyers looking for an automatic transmission will therefore have to move to the higher trim level.<\/p>\n<p> The N8 continues to be offered with both gearbox choices, including a six-speed manual and the seven-speed DCT. It also remains the only trim in the current line-up to get dual-tone paint schemes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alsoRead\"> Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.hindustantimes.com\/auto\/news\/hyundai-motor-india-completes-30-years-will-launch-26-new-products-by-2030-41778051651683.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hyundai Motor India completes 30 years; will launch 26 new products by 2030<\/a><\/p>\n<p> What the i20 N Line offers<\/p>\n<p>The i20 N Line remains mechanically unchanged and continues to use a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Hyundai has kept the model positioned as the sportier alternative to the standard i20, with a distinct exterior and interior treatment that sets it apart visually.<\/p>\n<p> On the styling front, the hatchback still carries several signature N Line elements. These include a roof spoiler, red brake callipers, dual exhaust tips, an all-black cabin theme, and multiple N Line badges placed both inside and outside the car. The sporty detailing continues to be one of the model\u2019s main selling points in the premium hatchback space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"alsoRead\"> Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.hindustantimes.com\/auto\/cars\/5-compact-suvs-i-would-choose-if-i-am-upgrading-from-a-hyundai-i20-41777967836836.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">5 compact SUVs I would choose if I am upgrading from a Hyundai i20<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Position in the market<\/p>\n<p>The i20 N Line was launched in India in September 2021.
