“The i30 N is quite safe, at least the sedan version, so we will see the next-generation car with a new petrol engine, as is already in our long-term plans.” The i30N Sedan is he Elantra N for other markets being in South Korea the ahead n.
The i30 N hatchback with ICE enginedoes not have a promising future, being assembled for the Old Continent where emission regulations are stricter.
When the law goes into effect Euro 7 in the next years, Albert Biermann said that gasoline-powered cars with badge N will be discontinued in some markets:
“Other markets like Europe are dreaming and there is a good chance that there will be no more N combustion engine cars in some markets with Euro 7 regulations in the offing.”
The Kona N crossover It has little time in the European market. The i20N It has a smaller 1.6-liter engine, which according to what Albert Biermann said it will not be discontinued.
“So the i20 N engine, the 1.6 of course, will survive; As you know we use this engine in tons of applications. Basically the 2.0 liter will be phased out, the turbo sooner or later, but I think we have a good replacement available, maybe not for all markets, but with the 2.5 turbo I think we can still create some powerful N-cars.” .
Albert Biermann mentioned that at i30N hatchback that will soon have a 100% electric version, but it will take a while: “If we’re talking electric vehicles, then we could see a fully electric i30 N in a hatch body with our B and C segment plans, but it may take some time to get there, to get it right.”
Hyundai continues to put the finishing touches on the ionic 5 No. which will arrive next year. The ionic 6 recently presented will be No. in the near future.
