► Prototype of Hyundai Kona N driven
► Loud N lairy
► Should arrive summer 2021
It took me about five minutes to discover the Kona N pops and bangs on the overrun like the i30 N. And another five minutes to grow a bit bored of it. It s not that it doesn t sound good, it s just that it s so uniform and forced.
Which is an ongoing theme in this Kona N. It somehow feels like it s trying too hard to be fun.
Hyundai s Director of High Performance Vehicle Development, Klaus Köster says: Our target is that it s really fun to drive. The physics, you can t ignore, but it still lives up to the N car pillars: corner rascal, everyday sports car, and race track capability.
