A GLIMPSE OF WHAT’S TO COME

Hyundai Motor Company has revealed a glimpse of the all-new Kona N without its camouflage disguise. In a series of teaser images, fans and enthusiasts can enjoy a first look at the latest member of the brand’s high-performance N range.

As the first images reveal, the “hot SUV”, which we could see in South Africa towards the end of the year, boasts a sporty appearance, emphasised by its broad, low stance. For the very first time, the Hyundai N division and Hyundai Design Centre worked together to develop an SUV body type, creating a product that represents a powerful presence and driving fun.The 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. Large, sporty air intakes dominate the front view, and the new light signature gives Hyundai’s latest high-performance model an aggressive, powerful appearance.The lower grille defines the character of the bumper fascia. Its shape is inspired by an aeronautic fuselage and it extends to the side of the car, emphasising its aerodynamic efficiency and speed. An N logo on the unique upper grille completes the look.

A large double-wing roof spoiler for enhanced downforce gives spice to the rearview. 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.
