The engine offers a flat power tune that ensures high response and improved acceleration for even more fun to drive on the racetrack, thereby utilizing more of the engine’s potential. KONA N has a maximum speed of 240 km/h and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds using Launch Control.

All-new KONA N has been developed on the basis of the three pillars of all Hyundai N models: corner rascal, everyday sports car and race track capability:

  • Corner rascal: unique carving experience delivered with precision
  • Everyday sports car: control made easy, from smooth urban commutes to exhilarating racetrack drives
  • Race track capability: drive hard on the racetrack, just as it is
