The Hyundai i20 N was declared the champion of 2021 at the Top Gear Speed ​​Week. The event took place over several days at the Top Gear test track Dunsfold. The i20 N demonstrated the best performance from a group of 26 high-performance models.

Five models, rated as the most fun to drive, competed on the roads of Exmoor National Park. At the end, Top Gear’s editorial team, journalist Chris Harris and Top Gear driver The Stig crowned the Hyundai i20 N as the winner in this competition.

“Every year we gather the funniest collection of fast cars introduced in the last 12 months. We call it Speed ​​Week to justify a spacious, multi-day program. Speed ​​Week is always full of surprises. What we didn’t expect was that the most affordable car here it also stands out as the winner. The i20 N delights with its performance and the real dynamics that make it stand out, not only in its class, but in the full range of Speed ​​Week,”said Top Gear editor Jack Rix.

Hyundai i20 N competitors were sports models of prestigious car brands. The competition included light two-seater sports cars, hybrid models with 1,000 hp and fully electric sports cars.

The latest Hyundai N takes inspiration and borrows engineering values ​​from the competitive rally car i20 WRC which already has an impressive number of wins and titles. Focused on high performance, the i20 N provides an exceptional driving experience on racetracks as well as on the open road.

“Just like all our Hyundai N models, we designed the i20 N to provide an exciting track experience, reliability and road safety but also everyday usability. It was challenging, but we managed to create a high-performance hatchback at an affordable price,” said Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, vice president of marketing and products at Hyundai Motor Europe.
