Hyundai is absolutely killing it right now. They've come a seriously long way, and I'm bloody keen to see where they go from here.

Picked mine up Saturday and quickly covered just over 250 miles over the weekend. Completely usable as a normal family hatchbach, with plenty of room in the back for the 3 year old's car seat and all the creature comforts you need (heated seats and steering wheel especially this week!) - plonk it in Eco or Normal mode and it'll easily do 45mpg on my daily commute, but a quick flick to Sport and I can slip into any gap I need to at junctions and roundabouts. Bose upgrade well worth the £500 - huge volume, decent bass, works with my wide range in music taste (which has covered everything from Led Zeppelin, UFO, Rainbow and ELO, through to Pearl Jam, RATM, Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Pendulum!). Ride is definitely jittery at lower speeds, and big potholes are definitely best gone around, but as soon as you get over 30/40mph, it starts to settle into its rhythm.

Had my i20 for 2 month , have done 2500km here in Australia. Totally fine to use as daily. Firm suspension is still very liveable. There is little to no body roll when turn in . So the trade off is well worth it . The rev hang is annoying Because you have to delay shift for engine to drop. The clutch is super light very easy to live with. Handling is out of the world. Overall amazing package.

I worked for Hyundai in South Africa in 2013/2014 and was always given an i20 1.4i Glide as a company car,it was o.k to drive but very boring, they then let me have the CRDi model and that thing was a total grin machine and I just knew that with a bit of work that they could make a decent, fun hot hatch...nice to see that that is now a reality...

Koreans really kept up and in this price range even exceeded its rivals. Great job Hyundai!!👏

Probably the perfect car for European roads. Perfect size, weight, power, agility, looks.

Keep the reviews, featuring Ollie, coming, TG. He has got that je ne sais quoi that makes 11 min fly by without notice. Intelligent, knowledgeable, creative with enough cheeky wit to bring a smile to my face. Hammond'esque, if you will. Review format was also appreciated.

I know this guy is not Chris Harris, but I was still able to watch AND enjoy the whole video. I like this guy and this video format!

Hyundai / Kia is on a roll right now. I drive a 2022 Kia Stinger and loving it so far. Want to drive an I20N though.

The hot hatch of the moment, in my personal opinion :D. But I thought this series sees EV's being tested? Not complaining about this because I love it either way :)

This video is really well thought and constructed. Liked all the different tests! Looking forward for more!

Car fans nowadays always moan about how boring modern supercars are, but guys, this is where it’s at if you really want to have fun, a compact hot hatchback or a sports car! A supercar is a technology demonstrator and a thrill ride you can operate yourself, but at its heart, it’s an exotic toy. Paying 10 times more doesn’t mean you should have 10 times the fun. The more people pay attention to this kind of compact, affordable sports car, the more people will buy, the more the manufacturers will make, we’ll all be happy. As a side not, I like this guy, him and Jack Rix. Chris’s Harris always walk away with the plaudits, but I’ll happily watch a film made by them two!

This and the i30N seems like such damn good cars. The i30N has increased in price so this is looking much more attractive, but not sure if I can live with the size of this one... and that grill looks hard to clean (although the i30N's grill would be hard to clean too). I NEED MONEYYYYYY.

Wait? It asks you if you want to go into N mode when it detects bends ahead? I'm sold.

The 1.6t goes from an ok engine to a much more fun engine when you change just a few breathing elements such as downpipe and intake. Then you feel alot more hp in the top revs. I very much love my little 1.6t now. I have the US spec 2018 Elantra Sport which was essentially the genesis of this 120's very platform minus the LSD though. Wish I could try out one of these😢

loved this kinda series, please do more.

2:00 "responsive touch screen" as he presses a button he literally has enough time to put his arm down before the screen finally changes.

Personally I think this looks a great little car that I would he happy to own.

My i20 N Dragon Red arrives in 3 months! Cant wait !

Just bought one of these in this exact spec. Collecting it on Saturday. Going back to my hot hatch boy racer roots!

This was one of my favourite cars of 2021

I pick mine up in three days after a long six month wait can’t wait Super little car

Praise be the internal combustion engine ..

Mouth watering configuration....unfatefully...in India we get 3 cylinder with an automatic gearbox...don't know what's that even for...

I currently have a 2013 Sonata Limited with the 2.0t. I have been very happy with the stock performance of the car. I know there is allot more faster cars out there but it is still fun for some of the reactions I get from people!

in 2012 i picked up an i30 1.6 CRDi, 3 yrs old ex motability and 11k miles. I'd had hot hatches before and this was the first sensible car i needed but didn't want. Until I'd had it a week. It's a hoot. never broken down, starts firtst time every time. Only issue is sticking calipers/handbrake due to its over complicated design. (so i'm told). Have an st150 and now an ep3 and need to sell the i30 but it's still on the drive, four months later.

Got mine this week in black. Haven't pushed it too hard yet. So fun to drive. When you start her up heads turn. Such a sexy car. Only complaint is the infotainment system (Australia) which lacks voice control unless you plug the phone in, but I hope they can fix this during the service when they do a software update.

Can't believe the newest comment is a year old

Hi TOP Gear, Wow I ❤❤❤❤💗💗😍😍😍 love this car, If I could change my current 2017 i20 for that, I will in a heart beat. I think it looks bang on awesome, I love fun cars and the i20N is no exception. Yeah I know firmer suspension, you feel every lump and bump on the road, like this car I'm fine with it. I use to own a 2014 Suzuki Swift and it has been with me for 5 years, I loved it and it's suspension was also hard. Upon saying all that who knew Hyundai would be like this in 2021, not me. Never liked their older cars, i always thought they were too blend too boring, not anymore, up until their first Gen i10 and then they just took off right there. I tip my hats off to them, congrats Hyundai you have a great car lineup here, keep it up.

Picking mine up end of March :D Going from a 80bhp corsa to this, cant wait!

“It’s a bit fiddly and could really do with a home button to get you back to the main menu” Proceeds to press the home button and do exactly that. 🤔

I would own that in a heartbeat

Hyundai make great car

This is THE dream hatchback of today.

Got i in red with a black roof and its my first car and its so fun

Missus getting hers soon and I’m more excited than she is 👍🏻 Had a test drive and it was genuinely one of the best little cars we drove!

Hyundai is a Great car. I own my 4th Hyundai. It is a New Bayon. Amazing little car. 👍👍👍👍👍

I wish we could get these in the US

How did you not get chris harris in this!

Hey Hyundai! Can we have fun in Canada ??? We need more N ! We need a little hatch since Accent was cut off the Line Up!

My favorite thing about this car is the HUD... and everything you can do from it!!!

Great Video so happy and lucky that i own one in the UK feel sorry for those people who have waited longer then the lead times they are definitely missing out.

There's a definite 60 cycle hum whenever the narrator's voiceover fades in.

hayundai please release that in usa

Sounds like the ideal replacement for my 2015 swift sport. That’s a lot lower power but handles like a god,, so this will be a nice step up, plus the standard kit, impressed, just not sure in the colour, baby blue or black seeing as I’m older now so later will be stealthier

No idea who this new chap is but he's lovely and interesting and captivating. Seems like he needs to be in more videos... get him alongside Harris!

Great review - wasn’t a fan of the comedy white coat - I am sure viewers would appreciate Ollie as himself.

Last of the petrol cars of this century. I have one, its old/new school build will win you over. Do not wait for a tomorrow. If you are looking at this video, its because you're hooked ;)

We don't care if it's dark in the back! We want hatches!

Better than the Amazon show

It's an absolute shame we don't have these beautiful cars in Saudi Arabia. Neither the i20, i30, nor the Kona N are available which means we are stuck with boring cars.

Glad about the mechanical handbrake. If only it had proper dials instead of a screen. Also does Top Gear own Millbrook now?? ;)

Great car, but hyundai should speed up the production.

The best car with a great mileage 😍

Not gonna get any of this fun from where I come from. We're the state of boring motoring. When i30N got launched there was hardly anyone who bothered with it. Nonetheless love the video. Am a subscriber now.

Seriously thinking about trading my Suzuki Swift Sport for one of these been researching for a while now.

How long is the wait on these at the moment?

Dude sounds a bit like Tiff

Top gear will never be the same😔 shame as I used to love the show

$25K in todays money is that US? If it is, that’s a bargain! in 1983 I paid $8,707 US for a Dodge Charger 2.2 and the only tech it had was the Am/Fm Sterio. Nothing else. No power anything, No A/C, Just a 5spd. With inflation that is $23K in todays money. This Pocket Rocket with all the TECH, POWER, MPG, and “N” mode! BARGAIN!

Superb review, more please 👏 🙏 👍

My god, I want one

Too bad that N series wasn't introduced in my country. Hyundai's been really catching up in ther performance lineups with their European rivals, and I defenitely appreaciate that they did it anyway even when ICE is coming to an end.

Thought the original top gear done this race before

I drove a little Fiesta and I think a car in this segment requires a particular driver.

Isn’t it based on a Fiesta anyway?

Want one right now!

This car needs to get released in South Africa 😭

a regular hyundai i 20 in india is a snail with 2 times less the power

Badboi Flex 2 da Maxxx !!! 🔥🔥🔥

This car is fanbloodytastic

Still has buttons - yes!

Wish these would come to Canada.

Thank you for not comparing it to the Fiesta ST!

Isn't this Fifth Gear's "Top Secret Test Track"?

Driven both this and the ST and went for the ST as found it more fun and makes a better noise.

Great review, do this same formula with GR86, GR Yaris and new Fiesta ST

Will sell like hotcakes. I love its simplicity. Old school

Where's the jump in the caption picture?

U guys forget the fiats

Please put it up against the Fiesta ST

Hyundai, like Sunday. Straight from the manu's mouth.

What's the radio like?

this guy sounds like Tiff Nedell

Hyundai really are banging out some quality cats now.Time to go and buy.

How can a 3 cylinder engine (from the fiesta) sound better than a 4 cylinder? Only weird thing on this review.

Gangnam Style reference? Seriously? 🤦 This isn't 2010...

i own the old model 2011.. so sad in indonesia market doesn't sell anymore.. because the lack of the sales.. lose from yaris and fit..

Not one mention of the World Rally Car that this car spawned. What a shame.

The N-mode, is that a gamer N?

1:18 Did he just mention gangnam style and call it lairy?

Very Entertaining.

Getting mine in 4 weeks time, 61st birthday present for me and bollox to getting old, I want launch control and flames on the dashboard. Edit: Delayed repeatedly, it seems the dealer promised what he couldn't deliver - bastard. Another two months to wait.

9:00 Me: okay, do it

I am amazed by the testing facilities. Where is it located?

7:12 what is this place?

탑기어가 N을 이렇게 칭찬하다니..가슴이 웅장해진다.

Better design

Interesting hot hatch. Question is how reliable and problem free this car is and will be knowing the problems the maker has had with recent models.

They need to change the name from top gear and just do their own thing.
