Spy Shots: 2021 Hyundai i20N

The Hyundai i20N has been spotted again, this time with less camouflage. We're getting closer to the production reveal of the Polo GTI fighter.

Hyundai is another step closer to revealing its Polo GTI rival as this i20 N has shed quitae a bit of camouflage. Sporty detailing like the big alloy wheels and rear spoiler are clearly visible. There's also a fat oval-shaped exhaust at the rear.

The big question is what engine will be found under the bonnet? Some have suggested it could be a detuned version of the current i30N's 2.0-litre turbo mill, while others have speculated it could a modified version of the Veloster's 1.6-litre turbo. All we know is it's going to need around 150 kW to compete against the popular Volkswagen Polo GTI. It's likely to be offered with both a 6-speed manual gearbox and a dual-clutch transmission.

In terms of arrival time, we're expecting a global reveal before the end of 2020.
