The N DNA

The three pillars of N

Created for maximum driving enjoyment on the road – and racecar feeling in everyday life, all N models share the same DNA, which can be distilled into the following three performance pillars.

Hyundai N cars are designed to perform – and to put a grin on your face. They are engineered to satisfy drivers who want to feel the burst of adrenaline that gets your heart beating faster – The pure joy of driving.
