Hyundai teases pictures of Kona N SUV

Hyundai Motor has revealed teaser images of the all-new Kona N so fans can enjoy a first look at the latest member of the brand’s high-performance N range.

It is the first N model with an SUV body type which developed by Hyundai’s N Division and Design Centre collaborating together for the first time yet.

Hyundai says the all-new Kona N combines the modern design of the recently launched new Kona with the bold and dynamic language of the company’s N models.

It says the front view of the Kona N is dominated by large air intakes, and the new light signature gives Hyundai’s latest high-performance model an aggressive appearance.

The lower grille defines the character of the bumper fascia: its shape is inspired by an aeronautic fuselage and extends to the side of the car, emphasising its aerodynamic efficiency and speed. An N logo on the unique upper grille completes the look says Hyundai.

 At the rear, a large double-wing roof spoiler for enhanced downforce gives spice to the rear view. It also incorporates a third, triangular brake light, as is customary with N models. 

Large N dual exhaust mufflers fully express the model’s high-performance spirit. Lower down on the rear bumper, a large diffuser enhances the airflow departure. The sporty appearance is further emphasised through body-coloured fenders, bringing the Kona N visually closer to the ground.

It is equipped with the eye-catching features reserved for N models, such as exclusive alloy wheels and red accents that embellish the side sills.

More information will be revealed soon but the Australian launch of the Kona N will take place in the third quarter of 2021.
