After weeks of speculation, Hyundai has finally confirmed the N version of the Kona<\/a> crossover will be available in the United States. It will be the third high-performance model from the automaker, following the release of the Veloster N and Elantra N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confirmation was made through a Twitter video shared by Hyundai, showing the high-performance model running through a racetrack with the Veloster N hatchback. The first official photos of the prototype have also been released as well as information on the powertrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, the model will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that makes 275 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, similar to its Veloster N sibling. However, the Kona N won’t have the same six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. It will instead be equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. Hyundai has yet to confirm if it’s having a front-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from powertrain specs, Hyundai also shared that the upcoming Kona N will feature a launch control as well as an amped-up soundtrack like the unmistakable exhaust sound of the Veloster N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of body styling, the Kona N is expected to appear more aggressive with its larger wheels and tires. Dual exhaust tips and a rear spoiler are also included, while the interior gets heavily badged seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it arrives, the 2021 Kona N will be the smallest SUV in Hyundai’s lineup. It will first go on sale in Europe and is expected to arrive in the US later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the launch of the Kona N, Hyundai<\/a> will work on the N Line variant of the 2022 Tucson crossover for the American market.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
