Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Hyundai i20 N-Line

The only turbo-petrol premium hatchback in India.
Dual exhaust tips with a genuinely sporty note.

Things We Like in Hyundai Exter

Standard six airbags and comprehensive safety package across variants.
Smooth 4-cylinder engine, free of the shudder or coarse note common to rivals' 3-cylinder units, even at idle.

Things We Don't Like in Hyundai i20 N-Line

The stiffer suspension is sporty but also compromises ride quality over bad roads.
No ventilated seats even on higher N8 variants.

Things We Don't Like in Hyundai Exter

No crash-test rating, as neither Bharat NCAP nor Global NCAP has tested it, unlike the 5-star rated Tata Punch.
Highway performance dips when loaded, with overtaking needing planning and no turbo option available.
