Hyundai’s Kona N packs a mighty punch - A small SUV with the verve of a hot hatch, it blends performance with crossover practicality
’s performance N-division is on an upward trajectory. We recently reported on not one, but two, concept models that look stunning — the electric-hydrogen Vision 74, which pays homage to the 1974 Hyundai Pony Coupe, and the RN22e, based on the recently unveiled IONIQ 6 point at the future of Hyundai N.
The Kona N looks sharper than its regular siblings, thanks to a slightly hunkered-down stance and 19” alloy wheels, wrapped in 235/40 profile tyres, which house red N-emblazoned brake callipers. The steering is mostly light and feels a little too artificial in its sportiest setting. I found Comfort mode offered the best compromise.
The Kona N, priced at R749 900, is a hoot to drive and will please those who like their performance car to have a bit more ground clearance.
