2025 Hyundai i20 N review Australia

Polo GTi

I had a 2018 model and loved it, would buy one again.

those cars are more fun in manual

yep the new gen swift is not a looker...

The new swift has nothing to do with the current swift sport version

We bought a manual at $29,990 in 2021. Nothing else japanese built and sporty around that price.

As it only weights 970kg i think its closer to the original hot hatch recipe.

At that price I think a second hand low km i20N or Fiesta ST would be a much better option.

I've had this model (a manual one) since it came out in 2018. I drove the new one a couple of weeks ago and can honestly say the new one drives just as well as this Sport, it's just obviously slower.

Stopped watching as soon as you showed the price HAHAHAH they are crazy!!!!

If Suzuki have brought out a newer swift model shouldn't the current models be cheaper than the new ones? Generally that was my understanding of a new model being released! I'm confused as to why Suzuki wouldn't drop the prices on the current ones to get rid of "old" stock.

Im experiencing the same thing with my kia picanto 2024 doors.

We got the 2022 Vitara Allgrip turbo same engine love putting into sport mode lots of get up and go! fun to drive!

Manual only available in base. Takes away the whole purpose of a city car. Aussie gen z wouldn't know how to drive one. So sad. Auto is crap

Taking votes, the. Biggest rip off car under $50k. Suzuki x Cross for me.

Recently got myself one of these in black with gold badges and dark window tint for my birthday and personally I have to say its great. I was lucky with mine where they replaced the crap infotainment system with a phillips unit out of the factory and I got mine shipped over from Japan and had to wait about 5 weeks. It doesn't seem to have native sat nav out of the box with it but everything else is miles better than the regular unit and I just use Android Auto anyway.


My only complaints so far after about 700km is the road noise at times and personally I wish the exhaust note was better. Thankfully thats easily fixed with aftermarket solutions which I plan to do down the line.

My favorite parts about it is most of everything else and personally I quite like driving experience in corners, cities and highways and especially off the line. Its quite quick and because its a Swift cops don't really look twice at it.

My plans are most likely a tune of some variety, Exhaust and maybe wheels? Not to sure on that as the factory wheels I'm starting to like more as time goes on.

I bought a year old ex-demo manual in red, 4 years ago. It still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Are there better cars? More plush? Quieter? Sure. But for all everyone complains about the price, there’s not another new car out there for the same money that can match it for driving dynamics.

3 star safety 😂😂😂

This is the 2022 model

Suzuki swift sports 🎉🎉😂

Don't they only have a 3 star Euro NCAP safety rating? Not sure why any new car would only get 3 stars and why Suzuki would choose to build to this low sub standard.

Why to people give a crap in reviews about LEDs Isn’t that like saying hey look it has airconditioning in 2024?

i will pick cerato GT

i20N is a real hot hatch. Suzuki is past it.

The older polo 1.0tsi will eat that swift and its not even a gti

Have it from 2019 an still love it!

Last of the affordable warm hatch

Swift are the most reliable n fun to drive car. Japanese car are well known for good quality and the spare parts are affordable too as compared to VW Polo, unreliable n expensive spare parts.

Try dropping the window think it's the slight overpressure in the cabin as the door closes, I took ours in for that issue and that was the explanation.

5 star ancap

I've got the 6 speed manual, perfect for the Adelaide hills. It's like hooning around in a go kart that's still very comfortable in traffic.

Had a few swift sports in my time and having an auto is sacrilegious…if you’re gonna get one it has to be manual

As a Swift Sport owner since early 2018, in Champion Yellow of course. I totally agree, go out and buy one! Chuck on some wheels and quality tyres, an HKS Cat Back exhaust and enjoy!!!

I really enjoyed driving the manual. It's super forgiving and even more fun to drive than the auto.

The hybrid base model manual with after market alloys is $25500 v $33,000 for the sport. A full size tyre does fit if you use a foam insert to raise the boot liner. The kia cerato was a horrid dog. The mazda 2 is 15 years old and drives very badly. Mg3 has all the tech gadgets but....its another singer sewing machine cvt that is aweful

nice review, I have both auto & manual 😁

I'm still bitter that they moved the rear door handles from hidden to the typical location. The previous gen swifts look much much better!

Don't lie. You were listening to Backstreet Boys. 😂

Your annoying mate your to specific and you keep repeating the same discription only you word it differently

In South Africa the cost of new Swift Sport is R460k at least.
Auzzie $ 35k * 12 (currency conversion) comes to R420k

Yall got it cheaper, perhaps import taxes, transport costs etc

You can have for under 30k brand new for a 2023 plates or can go lower if push more lower

Why would you want the Auto if it's what you're saying...that always beats me.

Mannnn..... I have a Stage 2 Tuned (approx. 420hp) BMW M340i xDrive, it goes so good...... but I am still sooooo tempted to sell it to get one of these in a Manual!!! Lowered with some gorgeous Japanese Spec (probably Advan wheels) and a couple of power mods, would just be the chef's kiss. Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Who is the best between seat Ibiza 1.5 tsi 150 CH and Suzuki swift sport

I have had my ZC33S Swift Sport for nearly 2 years and over 10k kms. Road noise has never been an issue. Here is South Africa we get Yokahama tires are standard, so I guess it could be your Continental tires making all the noise.

Great review..
Stage 1 kit on these are amazing..
My mates pumps out 140kw and 320nm torque..
Pulls under 6 seconds..
Stock turbo all ECU mapping

I bought a 2024 sport manual transmission, I now I wish I hadn't. At first I thought it was just me but it turned out to be one of the worst manual gearboxes ever. It's incredibly notchy, no Rav matching either and there's a noticeable drop in idle whenever you change gears or let go of an accelerator which causes a jiggle effect. To shift into second gear from first requires effort, utter focus and caution as it's highly unpredictable. It's super notchy between first and second. The gearbox takes a while to warm up and only then does gear shifting improve but only slightly. It's honestly a shit gearbox. Engine, handling and everything else is great but the manual gearbox is horrible, worst design ever. To think they've had decades to improve it yet it's still shit. I feel like I've wasted $32,000.00 cause it pisses me off every time I drive it, especially on the cold mornings.
Disappointment to the max.

My little Suzi .. the non hybrid model Zc33s , gives smiles and miles . 5 years now .. some SC XA coilovers install , some weight reduction 🙈🙉🙊, a full tank of 100 octane gas and every day is a new time lap. Just Great

I'm torn between ablaze red and metallic gray. Personally, which color do you prefer or which color looks better on the new design? These are the only (usual) available colors in the Philippines.
