Hyundai Australia has revealed a new special edition of its i20 N hot hatch called the Shadow Edition. The i20 N Shadow Edition is limited to just 100 units and is priced from $41,500 plus on-road costs, which is $3000 more expensive than the regular i20 N.

Created to celebrate the end of the current-generation of i20 N, the Shadow Edition adds a number of new features like a suede steering wheel, bronze alloy wheels and special detailing.

Above the regular i20 N (of which some units are still left in stock) the Shadow Edition adds matte bronze 18-inch alloy wheels, black wheel nuts and bronze lower door decals. The exterior paint is only available in either Atlas White or Phantom Black colours, with the latter adding $595 to the cost.

Inside, the Shadow Edition further adds a suede steering wheel rim and gear knob, a numbered plaque on the dashboard and unique rubber floor mats featuring the Pirelli P Zero tread pattern.

That’s on top of the regular i20 N’s standard equipment list, including automatic dusk-sensing LED headlights, sports seats with cloth and synthetic leather trim, twin 10.25-inch displays, single-zone automatic climate control, various N modes and safety features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive lane guidance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a reversing camera.

The 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine is unchanged compared to the regular i20 N, making 150kW of power and 265Nm of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed manual transmission and power is sent to the front wheels. Combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.9L/100km and CO2 emissions at 157g/km.

Production for the current i20 N ceased earlier this year in March, and while the next-generation regular i20 has just been revealed, the N model is yet to debut. Its timing is yet to be confirmed, though the company has previously suggested that it will move to a hybrid drivetrain to meet emissions laws, which could cost it its six-speed manual transmission.

The Hyundai i20 N Shadow Edition is available to order now ahead of local deliveries commencing soon.
