JAKARTA After the success of the high-performance electric cars Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, Hyundai's N division is now preparing to open a new chapter. The latest strategy: presenting a lighter hybrid model, agile, and still full of driving sensations.
Citing the report of The Korea Car Blog and AutoExpress, Wednesday, August 13, N Management Group Vice President, Joon Park, confirmed that this step will begin with the launch of Hyundaipresent N. This model will combine gasoline engines with electrification technology, marking the entry of division N into the high-performance hybrid segment.
"We are not restricting ourselves to EVs. ICE-based cars also remain our focus. This is not the end of the journey," Park said.
Badminton N: Strong Outside, Buras Inside
In the exclusive render of AutoExpress,principle N looks dashing with a firm and cornered Hyundai Santa Fe inspired design. Behind its engine hood, this SUV is predicted to carry the latest generation 1.6 liter hybrid gasoline-electric engine, combined with an electric motor at the back for the AWD system. The power? About 300 bhp is enough to combine daily SUV practicality with a sport car sense of driving.
Park described Niko N as a 'lighter, agile, agile, and attractive' car, stressing Hyundai's focus on fun handling.

Hybrid N: Focus On Performance, Not Just Efficient
Hyundai has two approaches to hybrid technology: one focused on efficiency, and the other optimized for performance. Division N clearly chooses the second path.
"If we install a hybrid system in car N, then the strategy is different", the goal is to produce more intense energy, Park explained.
How come N is just the beginning. Park signals that N's hybrid technology can be applied to smaller and lighter models, opening up opportunities for the presence of superfast Kona N, even a light electric-powered i20 N and i30 N hatchback.
"With a lighter battery, the results will be much better," he concluded.
