Hyundai announces the Kona N

Hyundai confirms the arrival of a sporting version of its small SUV.The Kona N will have a 2.0 turbo.

In a few weeks, Hyundai will lift the veil on the Kona N.It will be the firm's first sporting SUV.The Korean brand has just published images of a prototype, which remains well camouflaged.Apart from the double exhaust outlet and the rims, the aesthetic specificities are therefore still well hidden.

On the technical level, Hyundai gives important information: we will find under the hood a 2 engine.0 Turbo, associated with a double dct with 8 -speed clutch box.This Kona n is therefore more muscular than the new i20 N, which is equipped with a 1.6 t-gdi of 204 hp.Will he have 275 hp as the last evolution of i30 N?It would thus be closer to Volkswagen T-Roc r, with 300 hp, than the Ford Puma St, with 200 hp.

The case can however quickly be classified if Hyundai decides not to market the model in France, due to high CO2 discharges, which would cause a dissuasive penalty.We should then be satisfied with a kona (which has just been deeply restyled) with the pseudo-sporting finish n line.With us, Hyundai mainly focuses on the hybrid version and the electric version!
