Hyundai is adding extra spice to its South African portfolio with the introduction of two N models: the updated i30 N and new Kona N. | Wheels24

The Kona entered the local market in 2021, and the range comprised of three models: two 1.6-litre turbo engine models and one naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine - all petrol. Now the range has been bolstered with the N model, the new halo derivative in the line-up. Like the i30 N, the turbocharged engine's power comes in with 206kW and 392Nm at its disposal, gifting the car with a character we haven't seen in a while.

Two years on and having taken note of owners' concerns and buying trends, Hyundai is confident that it is the right approach to avail its halo hot hatch with the dual-clutch transmission. Coupled with the increase in engine power and the auto' box taking care of shifting duties, the car is vastly improved over its predecessor. Like before, but only better now, steering is sharp and direct, and the car follows whichever direction you point it in.

Both the i30 N and Kona N benefit from Hyundai's latest multimedia systems. Atop the dashboard, a 10.25-inch infotainment system can be found. This system is both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible, and usage is a simple exercise. Both vehicles have multifunction steering wheels that play host to many buttons, but luckily each dial is easy to understand.
