When Hyundai decided to launch the N sports division, it never expected to be so successful. They liked the first installment of the i30 N a lot and it helped them to build a quarry. With the arrival of the i20 N they expand their offer in Europe although in the United States they also work on other versions. However, taking advantage of the commercial pull that SUVs have, they have decided to go one step further. For this, they have created a very special version of the Kona.

We have been talking about the Hyundai Kona N for a while, although always on conditional basis. Yes, because the firm did not release a pledge. The problem is, spy photographers have long been annoying their surprise by releasing compromised material. Well, a few days ago we told you that the guys from Hyundai N Worldwide published on their Twitter account some teasers that confirmed their arrival. Now, it's official and we have some technical data ...


The Hyundai Kona N will come to life thanks to a 2.0 Turbo block

To make the Hyundai Kona N known, the company's communication department has published several photos and a teaser video. In this material, the exposed unit still retains a large layer of camouflage although you don't have to be a lynx to glimpse its aesthetic changes. As is to be expected, its physiognomy will be more aggressive than "conventional" units. To do this, it will debut more muscular bumpers or oversized wheel arches.

Nor can we overlook the generous alloy wheels it sports. Behind them is a large brake system and calipers painted in a red tone with the N logo. The rear deserves a separate part, especially for two details. In the foreground we have a larger spoiler that serves to provide stability to the chassis. Secondly, for the two tailpipes located in the lower area of the sports bumper.

The optics, front and rear, also undergo changes although they are limited to the adoption of Full LED technology and a new configuration. Still, most suggestive of all is the way its turbocharged 2.0 T-GDi engine sounds. The power has not been revealed but we are convinced that it will be higher than 200 hp. For its management it relies on the agile and decisive 8 N-DCT double-clutch automatic transmission.

According to statements by Hasta Wartenberg, Vice President and Head of the N sports division at Hyundai Motor Company ...

«The new Kona N is the first 'hot SUV' from the N brand. As a 'hot SUV' it will have as much versatility as well as driving pleasure like any other N vehicle. N enthusiasts will enjoy taking this car anywhere ; from the road to the track »

And up to here we can read. We will have more data in the coming weeks, although that period of time is going to be endless. And that the SUV's are not holy of our devotion ... Patience.
