Hyundai Australia has revealed the new i20 N Shadow Edition, a limited-run special edition that marks the end of the current-generation i20 N’s Australian journey.
Available exclusively in Australia and limited to just 100 examples, the Hyundai i20 N Shadow Edition introduces a range of bespoke styling and performance-focused enhancements while retaining the formula that has made the i20 N one of the country’s most celebrated hot hatches.
Priced from $41,500 before on-road costs, the special edition arrives as a fitting send-off for a model that has earned widespread acclaim from enthusiasts and motoring journalists since its launch.

Limited-edition styling package
The i20 N Shadow Edition builds on the standard i20 N with a distinctive monochrome appearance package highlighted by exclusive matte bronze accents.
Among the most noticeable additions are the Shadow Edition-specific 18-inch matte bronze flow-forged alloy wheels. Hyundai says these lightweight wheels are paired with high-performance Pirelli P Zero tyres, helping maintain the sharp handling characteristics that have become synonymous with the i20 N.
The bronze theme continues with matching lower-door decals and black wheel nuts, giving the special edition a more aggressive and unique visual identity.
Each vehicle also receives an individually numbered Shadow Edition plaque, reinforcing its exclusivity.
Buyers can choose between two exterior colours:
- Atlas White
- Phantom Black
Production is capped at 100 vehicles nationwide.

Interior upgrades focus on driver engagement
Inside, Hyundai has introduced several premium touches designed to enhance the driver’s connection with the car.
The Shadow Edition receives an Alcantara-wrapped N steering wheel featuring Performance Blue stitching and a blue top-centre marker, a detail commonly associated with motorsport-inspired performance vehicles.
An Alcantara gear shifter has also been added, while tailored rubber floor mats featuring the tread pattern of the Pirelli P Zero tyres provide an additional exclusive touch.
These upgrades complement the i20 N’s already driver-focused cabin layout.
A farewell to a performance favourite
Since arriving in Australia, the Hyundai i20 N has developed a strong reputation among driving enthusiasts thanks to its combination of a turbocharged petrol engine, manual transmission and engaging chassis tuning.
The hot hatch is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. Its lightweight construction, responsive steering and performance-oriented suspension setup have helped it become one of the standout models in the affordable performance car segment.
Over its five years on sale, the i20 N has consistently received praise for delivering a genuine enthusiast driving experience while remaining practical enough for everyday use.
