Key highlights
- Hyundai Motor India removes the Hyundai i20 N Line N6 DCT from its India lineup
- Automatic option now starts from the higher-spec N8 DCT trim
- Move pushes entry price for i20 N Line automatic buyers higher
Hyundai Motor India has quietly discontinued the i20 N-Line N6 DCT variant of the sporty hatchback in India, effectively narrowing the automatic lineup. This means buyers looking for the dual-clutch automatic gearbox will now have to step up to the more expensive N8 trim.
What exactly has changed?
Until now, the i20 N Line offered the convenience of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox on both N6 and N8 trims. With the N6 DCT gone, the automatic option is now limited to the fully-loaded N8 variant. The standard N6 manual continues unchanged.
Here’s how the updated lineup now looks:
|

|

7-speed DCT |
The mechanical package remains unchanged.
Engine specs stay the same
The Hyundai i20 N Line continues with its 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine.

It remains one of the more engaging premium hatchbacks in the segment, especially if you enjoy a bit of enthusiasm in your daily commute.
The i20 N Line continues to rival performance-oriented premium hatchbacks and sporty compact offerings.
Its key competition includes:
- Tata Altroz Racer
- Higher variants of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Turbo
- Turbo variants of the Hyundai Venue N Line
The i20 N Line still holds its own thanks to sharp styling, strong feature list, and polished road manners.
